Can someone who has already attended a Meet & Greet post how it was set up?  Is it merely a photo op as in recent years or do you get to visit with the girls and have them sign material as in previous years?  Also, how many girls are present at the Meet & Greet?  Is it before or after the concert?

Thanks for asking.

I would also like to know.

Based on the Tampa show on March 5....

M&G before the show.  They told us to be there an hour before the show.  Took us to a smaller lobby about 45 minutes before the show.  The venue had a backdrop set up with their name all over it.  Think typical sports interview format.

All 4 girls show up.  You provide your own camera -- most people using phones.  Someone from pbs was taking the pictures.  Thry took 5 or 6 this time.  In the past they maybe took two.  Lighting was iffy.  Thank goodness for photoshop.

You get a chance to only say hi, nice to meet you before you are being pushed along.  Know what you want to say.  In my case:  SM - I remember when you were the newest member; now you are the senior member.  MC -  remember me, we have the same birthday.  EM -- you're not the new girl any more.  TM - Saw show 3 nights ago.  You are a worthy addition.  Loved harp on Danny Boy.

Photo is you in the center with 2 girls on each side.  Based on previous shows how they line up is different each night.

Unfortunately, its really rushed.

So it's pretty much the same as usual except maybe more pics.

Thanks for the info.  The format has not changed since the last time I attended.  I much prefer the old days when you got to have a real M&G even though it was only two girls.  It was lots of fun as evidenced by my avatar.

I would like the old M&Gs too EXCEPT with all 4 girls and you can get pics, videos and autographs. Although I like that you can stand next to the girls to take pics in the current M&Gs and not blocked by a table.

Don't say "white backdrop" too loud.  I've had a M&G in a stairwell (both gray and white walls).

I would meet them in a hall
I would meet them at a mall
I would meet them on a stair
I would meet them anywhere

Huh But would you stop them in the rain?
I wouldn't want to be a pain.
Would you stop them in the snow?
I couldn't do it. I'd let them go.  Cry
Would you meet them at the door?
I missed that chance one time before.  Cry
Would you find them on the street?
 Roll Eyes I'm just gonna Meet and Greet.
But there you won't have time to say...
I'd just be speechless anyway.  Wink

Now it's only weeks away!
I'm writing what I meant to say.
There I'll hug them if I can.
I'm going to meet them. Yes I am!

... I'm sooooo excited, folks! Wooooooo!!!!!!!

I did actually talk to Meav in the snow after Carnegie Hall 2010, Hayley in the rain in 2005, and briefly bumped into Susan at the stage door in 2014.  So far no random encounters in the street of CW soloists, but I did run into two of the Chicago Fire actors randomly.
