Odd. I had a Platinum Pkg for Dallas, and I have one for Belfast, IRE--both clearly stated
No cameras allowed
There will be a professional photographer there to take the photo

I enjoyed the candor of your review, and reading about your M&G experience.
Makes me very thankful for what we experienced at our M&G, and her phenomenal show.
Cheers

Superb review. Very 'journalistic'...
Was it a one to one meet 'n' greet...?! Or were people sent in in small groups?
I hope to God the picture comes out OK for you (and the est of us, of course). I would HATE for Avril (and/or her people) to suffer a 'backlash' due to droves of people not being able to get the one thing (the pic with her) they came for.
I remember a few years ago, I did a meet 'n' greet with Destiny's Child in Belfast. In all fairness, they announced to those in the queue that if we paid 20 quid we could have a meet 'n' greet. It was over in a heartbeat and groups of 15 were sent in. We were told that the group pic (I was beside Beyonce in a Nickelback t-shirt) would be e-mailed to us via a link to the official site. It wasn't.
I wasn't that bothered as I had only paid 20 noop for what seemed like a very rushed last minute thing. Plus, Kelly (Rowland) had a chuckle when I asked her "how's the form?" in my strong Armagh accent.
As regards to Av's meet 'n' greet, I half expected the no camera thing. I also expected you to get maybe a minute tops with her. And I wouldn't really expect to get the Gettysburg address from her. This photo thing has me on edge a bit now... as that is the primary reason why I bought the meet 'n' greet package
Anyway, again, awesome review dude...

The bag and shirt don't look that cheap, I mean they're giving this to so many people, they can't just produce the best things ever.

The once dark, rocking and rarely smiling Avril was now a pretty, dancing, poppy Avril with a constant, mainly fake, smile plastered upon her face. I'm not bitching and I understand that she can't possibly sing every song or even please every member of the crowd. I just really miss her playing those songs.

I think we share quite similar views on the whole thing
I really really miss Under My Skin. I can't believe she's gone from songs like Forgotten to covers of Hey Mickey.
But yeah I know what you mean about her being a pretty dancing poppy Avril now. I miss the old UMS Avril

agree! however i would have liked other things more but u r right they can't do something expensive because they give it to so many ppl! i gonna buy a lot of merch at the show(and i've ordered a lot of stuff from the online merch during the last months) and in my opinion the gifts are not the important part!
it's the meet & greet and it's bad that it wasn't good for u - i will try to do the best for mine!!!! i guess it's gonna be brilliant'!!!
