It's so sad! I hope they can figure out what is wrong with him and maybe he can

come back when he gets better.

I did a search and I found this link to FAQ's about the Wiggles

shows. The hot potato seats are the front section (the most

expensive according to the link) and they say that the meet and

greets were stopped about three years ago.

I hope this helps.

I also found on http://www.thewiggles.com.au/help/faq/7 that they do

try to meet people and kids with special needs at all shows, but here

is what they had to say about that for themselves:

" Concert SAFETY:

An Important Message To All Our Wiggle Friends in the USA

This is an open letter to all wiggle friends from The Wiggles'

Management. During our last tour of the USA, The Wiggles have had

many opportunities to meet lots of you, which they have really

enjoyed. However, it has come to our attention there are some safety

issues that have arisen and these are of serious concern to all of us.

A Wiggles Tour involves rehearsals, sound checks, doing shows and

lots of travelling onto the next city, all of which is done on a

carefully planned schedule.

Recently after shows, The Wiggles have been inundated with requests

to meet people. While they are happy to do this, there are time

constraints for The Wiggles and it is not physically possible for the

guys to meet and speak to everyone who would like to meet them. The

numbers of people wanting to meet The Wiggles are growing on a daily

basis and a real concern has arisen over fans surrounding the tour

bus including parents with their toddlers standing on roads. Local

authorities have expressed their concerns with The Wiggles'

management and we have been asked to curtail this type of activity.

We need your help guys!

We do not want this situation to continue. There are parents who are

sometimes waiting hours with their young child for a chance to meet

The Wiggles with both the parents and most importantly the young

child becoming frustrated and upset.

We understand that all parents want to have a great wiggles

experience with their child and that is what our live concerts are

all about. Please understand that The Wiggles cannot possibly meet

everyone who would like to meet them after the show. They have been

disappointed when the people looking after them have faced criticism

for simply doing their job, trying to be aware of the safety and the

time restraints on The Wiggles.

You may not be aware but The Wiggles take time at every location to

meet children with special needs and children from organizations such

as The Starlight Foundation and The Make A Wish Foundation.

We're asking all our Wiggle friends for your patience, your co-

operation and awareness of the safety issues involved and your

understanding.

Here's to a happy and safe Wiggles Tour.

The Wiggles Office "

Sincerely,

Mom to n(4) and Chase(9 mos, DS & IS)
