You always could get VIP Backstage Passes, like the person below mentioned about the Warped Tour and things like that, it'd be a lot more expensive.
Bigger bands just on a headlining tour, I'm not so sure how to get the passes.
Someone once said to call the band's manager and you can obtain passes that way, but I've never done that.
Certain bands, though, will sell special "packages" that also give you a backstage pass, but are obviously more expensive.
But I've only seen some bands do that.
And even getting the pass doesn't necessarily mean you get to meet the band.
After a show, the band doesn't ALWAYS hang around backstage.
I've known people who were really excited, they got backstage passes, and finally went backstage.
They stayed for a while, but the band never showed up backstage.
Sometimes, if you go and wait out by the tour bus (this can take a while, though) the band will come out and sign autographs, etc.
A lot of people do that for bigger named bands.
If you're seeing a band playing at a small little club, from what I know from the bands I see live, most of them will hang out at the merch booth.
Some even just hung out in the audience before their set watching the other bands play.
At this one club I see tons of smaller bands at, it doesn't even have a "backstage," it has..an outside area.
And people go out there freely, and the band is just hanging out talking to people.
So those are just a few way to get to meet the performer.

It depends what type of concert you're going to. Concerts with bigger names will sometimes have VIP passes. If you're going to a show at your local venue, then chances are there won't be but sometimes bands hang around their merch booth either before or after their set. It all depends on them. So, that's a way to meet them.
If you're going somewhere like Warped Tour or Bamboozle or whatever, you can obtain VIP passes, BUT they're a lot more expensive than the regular ticket. If you're willing to pay the price to meet the acts on the tour, then go for it, but if not, you can meet them at certain booths because at the ends of their set they usually announce where they'll be and what time so that you can meet them. :)
