Fans who attended Britney Spears' Piece of Me Las Vegas residency and her ensuing world tour could pay to meet the pop princess backstage, but it would cost them a pretty penny: meet-and-greet prices for the long-running residency, which stretched from 2013 to 2017, were priced at the hefty sum of $2,525, according to Forbes. Woah. Meanwhile, fans seeking to meet Spears during her 2018 tour would pay nearly as much, with meet-and-greets costing between $2,100 and $2,300.
Unfortunately, controversy surrounding the prices of Spears' meet-and-greets have been swirling for years. Back in 2014, a source cited by Radar Online claimed that participants were only allowed to spend mere seconds with the star and were prohibited from touching or hugging her "without her permission," as well as from "[bringing] her any gifts." Spears also allegedly seemed uncomfortable while interacting with fans, with the media outlet's insider alleging that she reportedly "barely spoke" and "just smiled and nodded and said 'Thank you' a lot."
The "Toxic" singer faced a similar backlash for her meet-and-greet prices in 2018, as disappointed potential buyers voiced their complaints on Twitter, with one disgruntled user quipping, "They should really call it the 'Piece Of You' Tour, since you'll need to sell an organ to afford to go. Truly a joke."
