Is there another way to meet a band besides meet and greets?

I'm going to see Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station, and Hey Monday on their Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour, and I was wondering how I could possibly meet them?
I could've bought a meet and greet, but they were $150 and the tickets were already expensive enough. So I wanted to know if there was another way besides meet and greets.

follow them. ususally after the show, or before, they go to like the grocery store.... or stuff. im not saying stalk them, but when i went to warped, Oli Sykes of BMTH just happened to be standing next to me drinking a water bottle while i was in the process of buying myself a soda. its all circumstance, if you can find a video of maybe, what they like to do before the show, get there early and go there. or near where you think they might be. just luck, maybe carry like some 4 leaf clover or wear some lucky underwear :D

or, make a really fancy lemonaide stand really fast and make 150 bucks

Groupies may work for those kinds of bands because they feed off idol worship and attention from hormonal 12 year old girls.

those bands are touring together? man when they come here im gonna have to build a hideout.

*Sometimes* you can wait by the tour buses either before or after the show and they may sign autographs. It's not a guarantee.

One word of advice: ask the security guards where you can stand so you are not in the way. If they ask you to please not stand by the buses, then leave. NEVER EVER EVER be rude to security. If you're nice to them and stay out of the way of people loading/unloading etc, then chances are security may even see if they can find a place for you where you may be able to meet them easier.

Just remember, backstage/by the buses is pretty chaotic and people are trying to get work done, don't get in their way. If you're nice to everyone and aren't in the way and move when they ask you to, they'll be nice to you.

if you are apart of the fan club it should be cheaper than that. in apart of fall out boy and all time lows fan club and the tickets are only 30 and normally the meet and greets are free but i didnt check this time. its to late to get the meet and greets now but ill bet there touring again soon. so its worth signing up and you get early entree sometimes too
fall out boy www.overcastkids.com
all time low www.atlhustlerclub.com

um ive met other bands standing outside of there tourbus. if its a small place their playing at just go to a different band before that show and see where they park it and if its blocked.
good luck!

Some clever fans manage to figure out what hotel the group will be staying at and they hang around and wait for members of the group to come and go. This would be the way I'd do it. ;)
