7.7 How do I get a backstage pass?
Backstage passes (BSP) exist for two reasons: security and crowd control. BSPs are usually available for family and friends of the band, band management, venue/tour personnel, journalists and radio station personnel and contest winners. The types of passes available also vary based on where people are allowed to go, from a one-time meet & greet with the band, on up to "all access."
A fan can receive a backstage pass by winning a radio station contest. Formerly, the Official Moody Blues Fan Club offered chances to win backstage passes through the sale of raffle tickets, with benefits going to Leukemia research.
