i am a huge fan of the Red hot Chili Peppers. My biggest dream is to meet them personally and see them upclose. I love their music and i have so many questions for them that only they could answer. And i would like to tell them how grateful i am that they make such beautiful music. I want them to see how happy they make me. So i might need a backstage pass to one of their concerts. It can be in a few years, I'll wait, as long as i get there.

Some artists do not allow fans backstage... It's a fact of their lives. I don't know what the policy of the Peppers is, so I'm going to give you generic tips. NONE of these are guaranteed to work, however.
1. DO NOT degrade yourself by performing "favors" for venue security (these bozos RARELY have access to the band) or the road crew. (They see this in every city, and they take advantage for their own amusement.)
2. Join the band's fan club if they have one. They're often given preference for passes in most cities. (This is true of Bon Jovi, and Poison's members' individual fan clubs)
3. Sign on to work as local crew at the venue. Yeah, you're going to bust your butt for long hours, but it might be worth it.
4. Make friends at your local radio station who plays their music - they might know if the station is going to give away passes and how to get them.
5. Try to stay at the same hotel. It's often the largest one closest to the venue. You might bump into them in the lobby or the elevator. (Be aware though, they might not want to be mobbed if they're just getting into town at 4am, but they might be willing to chat if they're just grabbing a drink in the hotel's bar.)
Now, just because you get backstage, I can guarantee you will NOT be the only one there. There will be friends and families of the band, local press, radio station people, record company people, and about a hundred assorted other people. This means that you will not be able to have a monopoly of the band's time and probably won't be able to ask all your questions. In many cases, if you get five whole minutes uninterupted, you're ahead of the game. If you go in there with the expectation of getting to shake their hands, take a picture with them, and saying about one full sentence, you won't be disappointed.

Go get ummm... "intimate" with Antony or Flea lol. Or you could pay attention to every radio station that gives out tickets for their shows, one of them is bound to give a backstage pass too

Ask around, call up the theatre they are performing in and find out what you can do. The theatre is not THEIR theatre, they are just renting it to perform, those would be the people to talk to. But VIP backstage passes can be kinda pricey, you better save up!
