From supporting Justin since 2008, I was finally able to meet him June 26th 2013. I had been at the arena since 10 a.m. and the doors didn’t open until 6 at night. I spent the day with friends walking around and just hanging out. At around 4, most of my friends had gone back to their hotel to freshen up, while myself and four of my other friends that were still at the arena decided to grab something to eat and charge our phones. While we were walking we noticed someone walking in front of us and he had a one of the ‘All Access’ passes on a lanyard around his neck, and was pretending to be on the phone. We ended up going the same direction as him and and stopped to talk to him. He asked if we were going to the show that night. We told him we were but that two of our friends didn’t have tickets. He said our best bet was to wait outside the loading dock where the buses came in and wait for Scooter. After we ate, we headed back to the arena and people had already started to line up to enter the venue. The line was pretty long and we decided to go over by the loading dock and try our luck. We waited for almost 3 hours and we were started to give up and lose hope of Scooter ever coming out. The security guy was really nice and told us that there was a car waiting for Scooter but he didn’t want to let him in even though he was supposed to because he had heard about our friends that didn’t have tickets and wanted to see if we could get tickets. There was about 15-20 people outside and everyone waiting didn’t have tickets and were out there for the same reason. Right as I was about to tell my friends that we should probably go in because we didn’t wan’t to miss the countdown, everyone started screaming. I quickly got up off the floor and ran to the gate to see what was going on. That’s when I saw Justin coming up the driveway on his segway followed by Scooter and 5 security guards! It all happened so fast but he came up to the side of the gate I was on and went across grabbing everyone’s hands. He started making his way back and taking people’s phones and taking selfies with the fans through the fence. When he came up to me, he grabbed my phone and our fingers awkwardly locked when I gave him my phone. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I don’t even remember him saying anything except when he was leaving and he mouthed, “Thank you, I love you,” and waved to everyone. It was so surreal. After I finally got myself together, I walked into the arena with my friends who had tickets. The concert was absolutely amazing and by far the best day of my life. The thought of Justin coming out to say hi and meet the fans who didn’t have tickets honestly never even crossed my mind. Justin was the last person on this earth I would have had the chance to meet. I kept telling myself, “He’s too famous. It’s just never going to happen, I don’t have enough luck,” and after 5 years it finally happened. He is such a genuine and amazing person and even more flawless in person. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever actually think I could be here writing my very own MBE. All I can say is to never give up, no matter what. All the time and money you’ve spent on him and his career will all be worth it without a doubt. Those few minutes or even seconds will be the best moments of your life. Never lose hope, your time will come. -Sophia (@sopheeuhhh) Read the rest here: From supporting Justin since 2008, I was finally able to meet…
