The Coldplay incident inspired this thread. An epic life altering experience for the two people involved.

I have been caught on camera just once: Billy Joel at Wrigley Field during "Big Shot". I had a beer in hand and was singing along about a Halston dress and then suddenly the entire section was illuminated with a bright light.

I think maybe once in a group setting, but that’s it. I usually laugh when people see themselves and react as though they’ve won the Powerball lottery.
 
No, but that guy fell to the ground in a perfect heap. I mean, he just fell off of her like he’d fainted into a Go-Go-Gadget straight arrow puddle or something. That’s what I find truly remarkable. Like, where you going, bud? Stick around and reap the rewards of publicity . . . Oops.

Many, many times. Do you guys not go to games?

Why do they want to pick this uggo (me, sorry) out of 25,000 people in a crowd? To show off his formerly gap-toothed grin and pasty, sweaty visage? Have you looked at me on a ninety-degree day? They ain't putting me up on some 80 foot scoreboard in hi-res with my face adorning it. I'd probably be one of the ones picking my nose and unaware the camera is on me until it's too late. Ay de mi.
 
Pretty sure my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I were on it during the playoff game where the Mets won on a Todd Pratt walk-off home run. We were working together, and (in theory, at least) our co-workers in a small start-up didn't know that we were dating. That said, neither of us was in a relationship with anyone else.

It has been a long time since I was much of a looker
 
I have yet to be but my friend's wife was on thrice with her emotional support feline, Perry Feral (named after Jane's Addiction), and they had a killer embroidered front backpack for it, which the cat did not seem real keen about. But it did have all-access. And word on the street was some pretty good supplies were included in Perry's favorite treat, Sheba, so that mellowed things out a bit, or "journeys" she liked to call their forays.

It might've taken a legit cat nap or two during events. Like if Marlon Perkins darted it for a spell, but Perry Feral would come out of it no worse for wear. It was like Perry Feral had been through it all before and knew full-well that once the hood went on, things were about to settle down. Super resilient chill feline.

Couple of decades ago, a Chick I was dating at the time I took her to see her favorite country artist (Pat Green) and she was jumping up and down massively excited and got us both on the jumbotron. It was VIP tickets I shelled out for and we also got to do the picture with the artist thing before the concert. I was well rewarded later that evening lol, money well spent.
 
I'm gonna say no, but I do remember in my mid-late 20's being at Anaheim Stadium for an Angels game and looked up at the Jumbotron to see a good buddy of mine from middle school who I hadn't seen since he and his family moved about 20-30 minutes away. It was like SUPER close up, he just had a Halos hat on and was giving the camera a toothy smile and thumbs-up. Super random.
 
At a minor league hockey game in Fayetteville, NC. Our oldest two sons were dancing with the Fire Ant when they were 8 and 6.

My daughter and wife have been on the screen for a coin toss at an Alabama game.

The best though is occasionally seeing my nephew on the screen for Indiana fever, he sits by the bench and occasionally needs to avoid a fight.
