Backstage passes are handled entirely by the bands and/or the bands management. We simply enforce their requests.<P>As far as how you would go about getting backstage passes, well if you don't know who to talk to, then you have no business being backstage. That may sound mean, but that's the way it works. Bands don't just hand out passes to anyone who wants to meet and hang out with them. If you are a friend, family member or industry person then you should know how to wrangle your passes.
