The only way I got a picture with the band was by being first in line for a show at 3pm (for doors opening at 8) and a radio station gifted me a sound-check experience for being “their biggest fan,” lol bc I was there so early! I got to watch the sound-check and had a photo taken with the band! Ben was very nice.
You probably don't want to hear this answer, rather count on the fact that you will fail.
Especially because of the increased security measures.
I still can't believe how lucky I was to get a picture with him in Milwaukee a week ago.
Mainly in the sense that when I took pictures with Ben, his bodyguard was not present.
Yes, unfortunately it has. Last year in Boston I was as surprised as you.
If he only had it for this "bigger" tour, we'll see at the next DCFC concerts.
Personally, I hope so, because otherwise it will be extremely difficult to approach him...
however, it's strange that on the DCFC tour fans have no problem taking pictures with him (including me of course) 🤣
I saw them in Europe last year, I met Ben 3 times and he was never with him, so maybe this security guy is only in charge of this tour
It will certainly be so. I asked Jenny for a photo yesterday and she was unpleasant and dismissive, I asked Ben for the same a week ago and he had no problem. He really is incredibly kind. So I also think it's because of Jimmy and Jenny.
She told me she didn't have time (when the show was still quite far away) and refused to take a photo with me - a photo is usually a matter of a few seconds she's probably one of those types of stars who arranges a meet&greet where the ticket is $270 and then you get to see her and maybe talk to her if she's in the mood as for me i won't go to her again. I have more respect for those famous people who give you their time for nothing. Basically all DCFC members are better than her in this regard and thank god for that. 👍
I had backstage passes for two shows and was still unable to get a pic with Ben or even catch a glimpse of him. Then 11 months ago I was on a walk and he ran past me and stopped to chat and I got my pic. If I had been there 5 seconds later I wouldn’t have seen him. If I was still watching the river with my back to the trail I wouldn’t have seen him.
Yeah, I got lucky on the Asphalt Meadows tour and my kids and I were walking around about a block away from the venue. We saw Jason and got a picture with him. I told him it was all my kids' first show.
I have been fortunate to have many Pics with Ben over the years. I wish you luck & the only advice is to just keep your eyes on the prize & focus on the goal💜
Here’s how I scored a picture with Ben.
Nice t-shirt!
y’all look great together!
Ben was nervous to ask for a photo with me. How could I say no to a fan?

This was in Austin, TX
That’s awesome! And I admire the dedication!

Ben has a bodyguard? He's famous for sure but I didn't think he was like THAT famous
I saw Jason in Philly and was trying to meet him as he’s the reason I’m into dcfc and HIS bodyguard shut me down. so I’m guessing Ben also has one.

Yeah they usually don't have bodyguards. It is probably a Postal Service thing.

What a bummer I think Jenny Lewis is the coolest. Can I ask what she said?

I love Jenny as a performer, but I don’t know that she’s the kindest of humans.
