I've tried emailing Leisureland, but they won't reply :/ I guess I'll try phoning them in the morning.. But would the venue really be in charge of meet & greets?

At the Omagh concert, it was only family of the staff that worked at the leisure centre that got to meet them.. so unfair..

In Dublin I was sure that people were saying they were giving out wrist bands near the front of the venue. Like Akka69 said, their Mum and Dad got us into a M&G but like Haylovesjedward says - we had almost no time with them. Darren can be a real pain in the ass.

We were outside their hotel in Castlebar and they came to the window several times. John saw us and asked we be allowed in to see them because they knew us from the other times we met them. There was another girl in our M&G that the boys have seen loads too so that seems to be a sure fire way to get into these. In Dublin I was sat behind a man who knew Matt (a security guy) and he let him into the M&G with his daughter. It's unfair I know but the M&G's hold around 20 people or so. Not all of them will be friends/relatives of people who work at these venues. In Galway we saw a group of girls screaming that they got wristbands meaning they weren't competition winners so what Holly says isn't the ONLY way of getting in. There must be other ways.

It's not J&E's fault obvs but you would have thought management might of announced ways of getting into these to avoid confusion and dissapointment.

I went with no expectations of meeting John and Edward, which was the best way to be. For one moment though I let that thought slip and felt really down for a few seconds. I snapped out of it almost straight away though and moved on. How I saw it in Ireland was all those I recognised in the queue for the meet and greets had all seen J&E before and obviously knew them, their family or maybe security. It definitely wasn't a case of all those from the UK will get a band, as rumoured, as there were so few of us I'm sure we'd have been asked. Okay, or maybe not....we are very uncool to most... (whateva!) ;D Seriously tho a m + g for us would actually have been ideal because we both feel a little bit uncomfortable about craving. I suppose it's okay if you are in a larger group but the two of us just standing around looks a bit sad imo. Another thing that made me feel uncomfortable these last few days is that whenever I was chatting to someone I knew from the UK, or just saying hi to them whilst having the conversation I just couldn't help thinking 'they are thinking I'm talking to them because I want a band. I hope this is not going to become a major problem for me because I love chatting away to Jedward fans and I so do not want something all the time! It is actually putting me off talking t people who I have known for a while now. Although I would absolutely love a photo of just me John and edward (cos I haven't got one on my own) I really do not want to grovel and try and make friends with certain people, it's not my style. I'm sure if I wait long enough another opportunity will come along soon. My advice to all those looking for meet and greets in Ireland. Go with little or no expectations or else you will be so disappointed. Good luck - you might get lucky!

Really sorry you two guys didn't manage to get in at a m and g at the shows you went to. Some of the irish people here got a bit of abuse yesterday for getting a meet and greet again, but who would say no if you're offered??? Can I just add to all the Irish fans complaining, the people that get offered m & g by the boys and their family, e.g. the Irish fans that are doing lots of the tour, the UK fans they know etc are NOT taking the places of other people who haven't had the chance before... they are extra to the allocated wristbands. Creates a headache for timings sometimes! But it's often the only way the guys can get to chat to people they know and want to see now with their busy schedules. There are thousands of fans each night, and they can only see about 20ish each night... they are going out of their way to double this some nights despite the timing issues this causes, so bear with them. They're some of the most accessible guys I know, hardly any other acts do all this for their fans.

Seems like a slap in the face to the Irish fans. They already did tons of M&G's across the UK, sometimes meeting hundreds at a time and going on for hours, so if they're so hard-pressed for time on these why are they giving people they know preferrential treatment? Why not use those oh-so-precious spaces to meet some new fans? They've said themselves they know how much it can make somebody's day. You already said you aren't taking their places, but in reality you are. Time is time. Seems a bit off to me.

Ok, first off, UK fans have flown/taken a boat/made massive effort to get to ireland to see the twins so why not this be rewarded in some way? Irish fans who came over for UK stuff I'm sure would get the same treatment. We didn't get an actualy tour here either it was nightclubs. It's not the twins fault if they wanna see the people they've grown to get to know, it's natural.
They'd meet every single person if they could but they can't. It's an Irish tour, so a lot of irish people can get to many dates and get many chances to try and get an m&g whilst the UK fans are probably only going to one or two.
And would you say no to an m&g ?

Nobody there is right and able to judge how much effort it took any particular individual to get to any of these shows or anything they had to sacrifice to do so, and who should or should not be rewarded for that. It's not right that they are allowing the same people into multiple M&G's and denying others just because one group has, essentially, hounded them into familiarity with them. I thought they were all about *all* the fans? Surely if they are so pressed for time with these things they could squeeze in a few more lucky fans they haven't met before, rather some others who they've already met multiple times.
Just because their UK nightclub tour was only small, it doesn't take away the fact that they still met hundred's of fans a night, yet on their home soil they can only manage a select few.
I'm not blaming anyone but the management really. Of course if you're offered a M&G you're going to go. I just think it's a shit system. If they want to meet up with the people they are familiar with, why use up this supposed designated M&G time where they could be meeting other new fans, especially younger ones, who can't hang around other places (hotels, etc.) and meet them?
To make it clear *I* have no issue with any individuals here on this. I like to view things without bias and this is just how this whole Irish Tour M&G system is coming across to me.
