as you said, i'll extend it to : backstage passes are quite a trap : they usually have no time for people coming backstage if it's before the show... and after, well, they're exhausted... i wouldn't turn them down if proposed, but i wouldn't pay and be a member of the "official whatever" for that if it implies to pay for them it all depends on how things are presented... i'm quite "worried" about that official thing as i expressed before, and i want to know what it implies and leads to before being uber-happy about it
