Ive got to meet them vs I got to meet them

The phrases "I've got to meet them" and "I got to meet them" are both correct, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. "I've got to meet them" is more commonly used in everyday English and indicates a present obligation or necessity. On the other hand, "I got to meet them" is used to express a past opportunity or experience.
