Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. They were having signings, but only the first one hundred could get one. When I finally got to the desk, they said I was number hundred and one, and to get lost. FML

Today, I went to a great concert. Against all odds, I got to meet the band. All I had for them to autograph was a flyer protesting their concert that was given to me on the way in. FML

Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. When the show was over I got the chance to meet them. When I met the guitarist and told him my name, he recognized me. To my disappointment it was as the facebook creeper. FML

Today, I walked into a concert that I've been waiting months for. Immediately after passing through the doors, I was accused of sneaking in and thrown out. They wouldn't even look at my ticket, or the hand stamp they'd given me. FML

Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML

Today, I drove 150 miles to see one of my favorite singers in concert. Before I got out of the car I checked to make sure I had the tickets. Did I have the tickets? Yes. Were they for today's concert? Nope. FML

Today, my friend and I went to see our favorite band in concert. We walked at least a mile from our parking space and stood in line for two hours. My friend was supposed to have the tickets in her purse. She actually had, but she left her purse in the car. FML

Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML

Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML

Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML

Today, I met my favourite singer, but when she signed my CD, the marker was out of ink. By the time I realised there was no signature, she was already gone. FML

It's amazing how some bands don't treat their fans with respect. It's the fans that buy the concert tickets and CD's and make it all happen for them, after all.

And this is why you shouldn't be fanatical over people who couldn't give a flying monkey turd about you, they're getting money so why care right?

First off I'd like everyone to realize that the band does not make this limit something like this also happened to me it's either their manager or someone who runs the concert who decides if there is a limit or not and to the person who wrote this was it at warped tour for the story so far cause that's when it happened to me

Well, the first 100 means the first 100. They couldn't make an exception for the OP w/out doing the same for others. But they should have been nicer about it.

Omg, what assholes. A fan should not have to beg for an autograph either. It's okay OP, now you know their true colors. You'll be rewarded and get something even better for your patience. "what goes around comes around"

Pearl Jam played Chicago's Wrigley Field two days ago. Maybe it was them (notice that the FML was posted from Illinois).

You do realize that if they were going to sign for a 100 people if they make an exception with you they would have to sign for everybody else. Thinking is allowed...

It's not good for a band to take their fans for granted.

I met Blue Oyster Cult's lead guitarist in a night club a few years back before the show. I was sitting in a corner seat at the bar and he walked over and sat down opposite me. I said "Hey Donald" and he replied "Hey." We then had a conversation about sports, he's a Yankee's fan, family, we are both married with children, then I steered the conversation towards Jim Carroll (The Basketball Diaries) who supplied the basis for the lyrics "Perfect Water." I'm sure if I would have asked for a autograph he would have obliged, like I needed anything to remember that.

It sucks to find out that a band you really like and enjoy have no respect for their fans. These are the bands that usually end up going away quickly because they don't recognize that the fans are the only reason they exist. They aren't so special, musically, that the world will need them to exist.
