Prior to hitting the stage, a selection of lucky fans were able to meet the popstars, who held a meet-and-greet backstage at The Forum. Two lucky fans in attendance at the Pre-Show Village won a chance into the meet-and-greet. Entrants had to be following KIIS FM on Twitter at @1027KIISFM, tweet a specific set of hashtags that were announced the morning of the event, and also on-site to collect the prize.
