BandPage? What’s this all about?

Think of it as a merch store on meth and steroids. Instead of just selling standard music swag, it sells experiences. From Digital Music News:

George Clinton is selling a meet and greet for $150 a pop at each stop on his tour. Ozzy Osbourne sold a 4 pack of premium tickets and meet and greets for $4,000. You could watch Third Eye Blind’s soundcheck, get a ticket to the show, have a meet and greet, a t-shirt and signed set list for $200 on their last tour.

You can buy an autographed guitar from Stars for $450 or challenge Jana Kramer in a game of ping pong, hang out at the venue and get a bunch of other swag for $60.

I like it. Keep reading.
