Title: Meet and Greets Post by: Jonas on September 12, 2017, 03:08AM You know how the Meet and Greets used to be just two ladies, but then it changed to having it be all the members. What I'm curious to know is when did the change occur?

March 2009 in Wilkes-Barre, we had Chloe and Mairead N. A few days later in New York we met all 5 ladies. June 2012 in Portland -- Chloe and Susan. Atlanta in 2012, they had 2 M&Gs because 2 PBS stations were involved. Lisa L. and Mairead N. were in one room and Chloe and Susan were in another room. Las Vegas 2013 was all 4 ladies (Lisa L., Susan and both Maireads). Title: Re: Meet and Greets Post by: CWazyTom on September 13, 2017, 03:44PM It varied with location and time.

That almost feels like collecting Celtic Woman Trading Cards or something. "Oh man, do you have the Lynn card? It's super-rare!" "No but I do have the Deirdre card. You can't even get that one any more!" Lol.

Yes, our group met Chloe and Susan. ;)Title: Re: Meet and Greets Post by: Kevin R.I. on September 14, 2017, 05:09PM I like the "bus `n greets".....you get more time with the girls and can chat with them and take photos. They`re VERY sweet and accomodating.

And these kind are less expensive. :DTitle: Re: Meet and Greets Post by: dbbii on September 18, 2017, 11:16AM According to my notes, they started with all 4 girls in 2014. Of course, that's when they also stopped allowing autographs.
Good points; bad points. At the earlier ones, you got candid photos. You got a few minutes to talk to the girls individually. Granted, with only 2 girls (and you did NOT know which 2) it was really tough to get all 4 girls signatures on a program/CD/whatever. I have some things signed by all 4 girls, but can't figure out how to post photo. Price didn't really change that much. Each PBS station somewhat set their own price. I was paying somewhere around $150 each (and you had to buy 2). |
