On M&G, everybody was out but Adam. I asked Lil if Adam would come out, she said he wouldn’t come out since he’s not feeling well. Then we asked Allison and Kris, when they signed autograph for me I asked them whether Adam would come out, Allison and Kris said he won’t come out Adam’s not feeling well. Crowd wouldn’t give up. They kept on chanted for ADAM.. ADAM.. ADAM….. hoping he would come out. But everybody was in their best behavior and waiting patiently for him. It was late I got almost everybody autograph so I left a little before 12pm. We didn’t know anything about the stalker and security stuffs.

If there’s any truth of the stalker story, I feel sorry for Adam and us, the fans that wanted a chance to get a little glance of our idol, Adam, closely and now we won’t have any.

I just read on a you tube thread that front row seats are $2,200.00. If it’s true that is ridiculous. I mean I love Adam but never would pay that for any concert any where. Has anyone heard what the prices for tickets on front row are?

They put it on a bid.. the prices for first and 2nd rows are from $475 – $695; then 3-6 are $195 – $265… crazy.. I guess lots of Idols fans in here.. I couldn’t really believe that people are actually buying for that price for front row (1 & 2).

I had no idea about the stalker situation. That sucks. I’m sure all the idols have their share of crazy fans and I hope they are well protected!

I showed up for the first meet & greet at 2pm there were perhaps 200 people there….we waited until 4pm and only Matt came out….wonder why? I mean I really appreciated it…but if he could come out, why not a few more? Why didn’t anyone working there just come out and tell us that no idols would be coming out? The temperature felt like 100 degrees….and a blazing sun with a man nearby selling little bottles of water for $5

Ok..now for the part that bothers me….I have read several comments here about the barricades set up for after the show. I estimate there were maybe 1000 people but I could be wrong and maybe there was more. I walked around the barricades several times looking for the thinnest section to stand and hopefully get a view, a photo and maybe if I was lucky a signature. The crowd mostly consisted of parents and their children…children on the barricades itself with the parents in the back. This was not a unruly or frenzied crowd as some commentators have said here…I did not see any crazed or scary looking people here. At some points in time some of the crowd chanted for Adam..so what? I mean we had been waiting for over an hour. People chant Idol names in the arena..what’s the difference? 9 of the idols came out and took their time and practically signed autographs for this entire crowd. Many people took photos with fans and yes some were even hugged by fans….Megan was hugging people, not because she was forced to but because she wanted to. I failed to see any of the negative things others have commented here… I saw a polite and patient crowd…there was no surging, no anger, no threats. The crowd was completely under control the entire time. I saw maybe 2 or 3 security guards inside the perimeter guarding the Idols….does this sound like enough security for a ” large unruly frenzied angry crowd “? Adam would have been perfectly safe to come out, this crowd loved him. Now if there was a stalker in our midst…then that is another story. I could understand Adam not wanting to come out if he feared the stalker might be in the crowd. I never saw anyone wearing the so-called anti-Adam shirt. I had even scanned the front row with binoculars before the show started and I did not see anyone unusual looking.
I just don’t think all these posts about a few bad apples pulling on a Idol hair or shoving a tongue down their throat reflects the reality of the average fan just wanting a photo, signature, handshake or hug. We love our Idols and without us fans there would be no tv show or tour. So you people with all this talk of just canceling all future meet & greets with the Idols are just plain wrong.
I would like to hear from others who were actually there the entire time….did I just describe the truth or not?

Yes, I did see Charley Belcher and daughter Lindsey at the Rays game on TV. Lindsey Rose is battling leukemia, and when Charley first interviewed Cook in LA, he told David about his daughter, and gave him an orange bracelet upon David’s request, which Charley and Lindsey wear. David has worn it since. I think he even called Lindsey on the phone. There is a youtube video of David and Lindsey meeting last year at the St. Pete Times Forum. Very sweet.:-). And I understand that he met with her and her dad again when he was in Orlando for the AI Experience.

Back to Charley, I doubt that he would have made it to the show. They had some lady reporter doing the reporting and interviewing the fans at the Forum. Seems to me that they should have let her do the reporting for the paper, so that the info would be accurate.

It’s a perfect description!!

Well he was orginally asking $650 but I talked him down to $525. I thought it was a pretty good deal

That’s great. Glad you got him to come down on the price. I would have tried that too but I don’t usually have much luck. haha

Did anyone ever find out today if the rumors about people in1 the front row last night with anti-Adam shirts?

I heard someone talking about it after the show last night while we were waiting for the Idols to come out. I didn’t see anyone wearing the shirts so really don’t know for sure if it’s true.

Also what does HH They use for Adam stand for?

Oh No They Didn’t

Thanks I was wondering that myself.

I think I understand all the different ones people r using for Adam, Kris, & Allison except that one.

Well, when Adam buys or rents a house, he better make sure he has high walls and good security.

Or better yet, in a gated community.

I’m thinking that it might get better once a new Idol season is underway, and the crazies transfer their obsession to the new “hot guy”. But i’m sure there will always be a need to be careful and have security. Same for Kris, if people are attacking him too.

I think they should get rid of the fences and just extend the backstage M&G. Yes, fewer people will get to meet them, but at least it is a more controlled environment. People have been known to get injured in these type of crowd situations. That would be bad.
