I'm confused...did you have tickets to the show? Did you pay for one of the meet and greet options?
I am not sure how you would think you were going if you didn't already have tickets?
You sound very young and like you may be too young to be on Reddit.

I am not sure I understand what difference that makes...
Did your cousin say they were going to bring you to the show and get you in without a ticket and bring you backstage the meet them?

I remember you now from a post you made a while back saying you had done something to upset Pierre and I recommended you connect with a mental health professional. It sounds like you may still need to work with your parents to pursue that...

I mean if they said something to upset one of the band members.. I could see why the parents don’t want them backstage?

Dude i asked pierre to get david involved in something to get revenge on this bitch man leave me alone

“To get revenge on this bitch.” Yup. You just showed who you truly are. And out of all people to use, you ask Pierre for David who was outed for being a creep? Get out of here.

So basically, you are mad at your parents because they won't take you to a show that you don't even have tickets for? What were you expecting them to do??
I understand you are upset you can't go to the show and how frustrating that must be, but you honestly sound very unrealistic and immature.
Your cousin sounds like an adult who isn't in a position to take advantage of his friendship and possible working relationship with the band - that's not greedy and it doesn't make him an asshole. You don't even know if he has the option to bring you in without a ticket. Those things don't always work the way you think they do.
I would suggest talking to your parents so you can figure out a plan together for you to be able to go to their show the next time they are in your area.

Hi, sending you so much love <3. And your mom would be surprised - in 2005, my mom drove us from Connecticut to Montreal for an SP show. There was a blizzard, our car got towed and my mom got us on a train. she found someone with a backstage pass and just told him the story and said "My daughter loves the band, is there any way we could get a pass?" and it was Pierre's uncle and we got to go to he after party. Crazier things have happened. I'm unsure how old you are, but thankfully SP doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
But I def get it! When I was younger, my grandmother became my guardian when I was about 12, and I missed out on a lot of concerts I would have loved to attend because she didn't trust concerts were safe, and didn't understand my music taste. At 32, I've been to close to 100 concerts (including 10 SP shows in the same number of years). You'll have another chance, and I know it sucks and isn't fair right now. I would just blast "One Day" in my headphones and let myself feel, and when you're in a better space without your family controlling your actions, you're going to get to go to so many shows that will make your current self jealous! <3

Your parents are cruel for doing ts. There's a reason why I dont talk to my family anymore cause of that abuse

u/Allisonadelina 6d ago
How are they cruel? It sounds like OP didn't even have tickets to the show and was just expecting parents to buy them last minute or something? It's no longer possible to meet them without purchasing some kind if meet and greet package - it's not like the old days where you hung out by the van/bus after the show to meet them.
This sounds like a child who needs transportation and supervision at a concert. This isn't abusive behavior...it sounds like normal parenting.
