The modern backstage pass was invented by a Cincinnati man named Dave Otto in 1973 .

From then on, backstage passes became a sort of currency, something more valuable than even a front-row ticket.

The bottom-of-the-barrel pass is the “after show” pass, usually a stick-on thing that allows you and a bunch of other people into a green room area where you (hopefully) get a quick meet-and-greet with the artist.

A VIP pass is laminated in plastic and comes with a lanyard to hang around your neck.

An all-access pass will get you anywhere, any time you want, on-stage during the show and beyond.

Only a very, very select few are issued passes with these kinds of magical powers.

"Local crew" passes get you beyond the VIP green room but probably not into the dressing rooms.
