So I was sitting here wondering are there any backstage passes for sale to this event?
How many of wish that you could get your hands on one?
If you had one who would you want to see the most?
Sorry guys this should have been posted in the corral, I wasn't trying to get false hopes up.

not for sale. i had 'em last year and honestly, nothing really goes on back there. artists ride up in vans or golfcarts from the artist trailer area to the stage and once done back to the trailers or to their buses and off on the road again. pretty much all business back there. the trailer area is the best place to see the talent, though, as they are hanging out waiting for their set time, but even then they don't wander around too much, pretty much stick to their little private area.

hodgee5-last year the artist i listed did a M&G which anyone could go to (and for gretchen this year im in her FC)
kymery- my mom probably wouldnt let me wear those haha :D
hodgee5 - Eric was a nice guy, i was first in line for the M&G so we talked for a little bit about school and stuff. Then when it came time for the picture with him he made a joke about him being rude cuz he was wearing sunglasses in the picture lol so he took them off (I told him it was ok cuz i had mine on)... but since he took his off i had take mine off, lol It was funny!

Backstage you really can't see anybody perform and the sound typically sucks because they direct it out toward the crowd.

Eric Church is a really sweet guy. He puts on a kick ass concert! I've met him quite a few times and he's always very sincere and appreciative of his fans. I was really impressed when he knew my name the first time I met him (maybe from myspace???). Any celebrity who can remember a fan's name (and not forget it) is A OK in my books! :)

Yeah, like Garth sounded when I had to sit behind the stage at Staples...couldnt understand a word he said when he talked, not all that to be back stage.
Staples was definately not designed for concerts. In one aspect I was lucky because I was on the floor right in front of the sound people so that was great. 3 of the tallest people in the world with the largest cowboy hats were right in front of me so I couldn't see a thing. Only for Garth would I go to Staples Center. Never say Never but...

We get some comp things to the Staples center because my husband was a Cheif Surveyor and layed out the center, so it makes it tollerable. Just wish they were comp for him, maybe I would of enjoyed it more knowing I did not BUY those seats. Games are good there.

that's crazy.... i was in a suite directly behind the stage! 5:00 show... where he pulled out the concession lady, gave her his hat and let her sit on stage for a whole song. talk about an experience you'll never forget!

last year we were backstage also. I met Sugarland, Jason Michael Carrol, Eric Church & Pat Green. I was on stage for about half of Chesneys performance. He shook my hand and earlier in the day i watched him and his band play whiffle ball.. so A LOT goes on backstage, & its exciting.
i'm not proud of this but my friends were calling me a stalker all weekend cus i was wasting time waiting around to meet Kenny. But whatever, i'm a country music lover!!!
We were backstage cus our friend donated the money to buy the signed Willie Nelson guitar they auctioned.
I met Trace Adkins in NY at the CMA & it will be nice to c him again. He's one nice man!!
Cant wait to hang out with ya'll.
