Question for bb king fans

BB King is going to be playing in atlanta soon and i plan on seeing him. He used to have a deal where you could pay around $100 and you could meet him. Does anyone know if this offer still stands? Ive searched but i cant find any information about it.

BB King's playing Atlanta!!?? When!? As far as the 100 bucks thing. I dont know i've never heard about it but he is an old blues man. Those guys usually love their fans and are very nice to them. I would think you wouldn't have to pay him anything to see him if you were a big enough fan!

BB King played near here two years ago. At the end of the concert people lined up to shake his hand and pose for pictures with him; you could tell his age was affecting him, but he still posed for pictures while sitting in an overstuffed chair. To me, having to pay $100 is out of line; ask to meet him as he is surrounded by staff members. My bet is that he will be happy to meet you for free!

I saw BB in Memphis. He sat around after the show & shook hands with fans. There was no cost. BB King is one of the greatest blues players of all time IMHO.. I really like his albums with Eric Clapton. Great music

I should have worded that differently. I dont mean shake his hand take a picture and walk off. I mean meet him, hang out and talk for a good while. Ive shaken hands with famous people, but ive only actually hung out with a one.
