My name is Catherine and I am 17 years old from Melbourne, Australia . In 2009 I overheard some girls talking about this “Justin Bieber” kid, so I went home and looked him up, and my journey as a belieber began. Since then, it has always been one of my biggest dreams to meet Justin. Prior to the Believe Tour, I had seen Justin at the My World Tour in May 2011, and in July 2012 I saw him walk into the studio at Australia’s Got Talent. In June 2013, it was announced that the Believe Tour was coming to Australia in November/December. Once all of the packages were announced, I knew that no matter what I was going to buy a meet & greet, as I had worked all summer to save my money! During pre-sale I missed out on them, so instead I bought an emerald ticket at the end of the runway for his show on December 3rd. The day all of the tickets came on I was really nervous but five seconds before they officially went on-sale I pressed enter and before my eyes I saw “X1 JUSTIN BIEBER VIP MEET AND GREET PACKAGE DECEMBER 2ND 2013.” It was unreal, and once the confirmation of my purchase went through, I sat there in shock, I was speechless, I was finally meeting my everything. Finally the day came, December 2nd was to be the best day of my entire life. I arrived at Rod Laver Arena at 4pm and met up with some of my friends from Melbourne Bieber Team, a group of Beliebers from Melbourne who come together to bond over our love of Justin and help raise money for various charities. A lot of my Belieber friends actually had meet and greets that night so I am so lucky that we were all able to experience this together. After we picked up our tickets, we walked into the arena and got our VIP lanyards and wristbands put on. We also all got to meet Dan and take pictures with him, he was really kind to everyone! Just a bit before 8.30pm, Justin arrived and popped his head out of the curtain. As soon as the lines started to move I started to freak out and so many thoughts raced through my mind. I didn’t even know what I was going to say to him! Just before we turned the corner I took a deep breath and there he was, standing right before my eyes! It was surreal, he looks so perfect in person, so precious, words cannot explain. There were about 5 girls in front of me so I just looked at Justin the whole time whilst they were getting their pictures. Before I knew it, I was next. He told the girl in front of me, “Watch my shoes” as a security guard pushed her onto him quickly and made her stumble a bit and that made me so nervous because I thought he was in a bad mood! Thankfully he held his arms wide open with a big smile and I walked up to him and looked at his little stache and sparkling brown eyes. “Hi Justin, I love you!” and he replied with, “Hello! Aw I love you!” (thank goodness I audio recorded it because I wouldn’t have remembered!). He then turned me quickly for our photo and after that grabbed my right arm and looked me so deeply in the eyes and he was smiling so big. It was unreal. Justin was holding onto ME and staring into MY eyes whilst smiling? I said, “Thank you for everything” and once again he smiled and let go of me as I walked out of the room bawling and hugged all of my friends, we couldn’t believe it. My seat was in the 4th row on the floor and it was so incredibly close, I can’t explain the feeling. During the concert in ‘Eenie Meenie’ he pointed at me which was an amazing feeling. After the concert was over, I went home and didn’t sleep the entire night and at 4.30am I checked Bieber Fever and they had uploaded the meet and greet photos and when I saw mine I did not stop crying. I was so happy and I didn’t even remember feeling Justin’s hand on my shoulder, so that was insane! I also didn’t remember looking at the camera so I’m thankful that I actually did. The night after I had floor seats again near the end of the runway, so it was nice to have another perspective of the show. I am so blessed and more than grateful that I had two amazing experiences and if you haven’t met Justin yet or been to one of his concerts, never ever give up because as corny as it sounds, if you believe in your dreams and stay hopeful, it will happen for you!
