Jonas Brothers fans’ posters end up in trash Posted on August 26th
Hundreds of teenage and tweener girls were left disappointed after posters they had labored over for a Jonas Brothers “green” concert contest ended up in the trash before the sold-out show Sunday night in Tinley Park.
The Jonases have teamed up with Chevy for a Green Team Jonas promotion with a lucrative prize: meeting Disney heartthrobs Nick, Joe and Kevin. The theme of the poster contest was about having fun and thinking green. So-called “Chevy Spotters” were to be in the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre parking lots looking for possible winners.
But many of the posters covered with glitter glue and puffy paint were thrown in the trash, likely destined to end up in landfills, because there were too many to be judged outside and the posters weren’t allowed in the venue. Ticket takers said the posters were banned because they could obstruct fans’ views.
One worker said the posters would be given to the Jonases later. But that did little to ease the disappointment of young fans seen dejectedly throwing their posters into huge garbage bins before the show.
