Hey Matt,

For the record (not bitching) my friends and I were told that we would get the meet-and-greet photo with Wanderlei free with purchase of a t-shirt. I had my own camera, but we were being rushed through. Now I’m just waiting to see my pic and download it.
I understand if there is a cost; however, this should’ve been understood by the employees working the booth so they could’ve informed the patrons correctly.

Hey David!

Glad you got some rest. Friday night was a great night of fights! Much needed. Thank you!

These are a few fighters I’d like to see: Georges St-Pierre, Matt Hughes, Sergio Mora, Rory Singer.

I was in line for almost 20 minutes and didn’t know if I was in the correct line. Hopefully that’s not normal. I wish someone would have taken the time to straighten things out.

It would have been great if the meet and greet was before the show started that way things could have flowed a little easier and people wouldn’t have missed some of the fights.

I don’t see how you can complain.

I was in line and had my own camera and those helping organize the line took a photo of myself and my wife for me using my camera.

So for $15 I got a nice tshirt, a signed color print from Wanderlei and a photo of him with myself and my wife.

If this site posts a photo that’s nicer than mine, I might purchase it. If it’s not as nice, well I’ve already got my own photo.

I see nothing wrong with this website providing you with the option of purchasing a photo. Everyone in line was allowed and encouraged to use their own cameras.

I completely agree, I was under the impression the photo was free, with the tshirt purchase.
I do feel ripped off by this. How much are the photos going to cost?
My wife and I had our photo taken, so I already paid $30.
Not happy.

Wow, I have a photo because I brought my own camera. But I, and everyone else in the line were under the impression that $15 included a picture with Silva.

It was never explained that the photo published on the website would be additional money. This is indeed a very questionable act by the promoters.

This was either a failed piece of communication, or intentionally done to rip off customers.

Joe, GeorgiaFighters.com provided a camera and photographer as a service in case customers did not have their own camera. Anyone that had their own camera was allowed and encouraged to use their own camera to take photos with Wanderlei at no cost. In fact, the people helping to organize the meet and greet oftentimes used customers cameras to photos of themselves if asked.

If you did not have a camera, then GeorgiaFighters.com will post the photos which you can purchase if you’d like. If you took your own photo with your own camera, then it was a free photo of course.

Purchase? The photos were supposed to be free with purchase of a shirt…
