My name’s Stephanie and I’m 17. My experience has to do with Massey Hall and the Home for the Holidays concert. It all started when Justin first tweeted he was coming home. Muchmusic announced the concert but didn’t reveal the location. I entered every contest I could find and ended up finding out where and when the “secret” concert would be by reading the rules and regulations to the contests. The day the tickets went on sale, I was waiting on the website for about 6 hours. At 3:58 they went on sale, the site crashed and by the time I got back in it was 4:04 and the tickets were SOLD OUT. I couldn’t believe it, the one time I had money to see Justin I couldn’t. Immediatley after I went on kijiji and saw tickets posted for $600 each, mind you these tickets were $75 max and for CHARITY. Over the next few days I entered many contests, called every radio and did everything I could. Two days before the concert I got a call from MuchMusic saying I had wristbands to the next days show for a chance to win tickets. I was so excited. I got two hours of sleep that night and left at 10am for an hour long train ride. I stood outside Much from 11:30am-4pm. During that time I met a few girls, one who was so dedicated she had slept at the train station to try to get into much WITHOUT a wristband. I also met another girl named Selena (@bieberspack). They picked random names and them did a competition . I didn’t get  chosen b ut that wasn’t going to stop me. In tears I took the train home and promised the girls I had met there that I would be at Massey Hall to try to get tickets. That night Selena and I had plans to go there right after school, she wasn’t aloud to skip another day and it was too dangerous for me to travel by myself. That day I had found someone with 2 tickets selling each for $250, we had plans to meet them there. Once we got there, we saw two girls screaming running out of the venue saying they got floor seats. It turns out Massey Hall had some extras. There was a huge line from people who had been there since 8am waiting for a chance to find tickets. Around the corner of the building was security and gates flooded with people around them, I asked what was going on and people said they were waiting for Justin to arrive. I told Selena to come out of the other line and come see if we could see Justin. About 5 minutes after waiting, Scooter walks pasts us and says sorry I can’t stay and goes into the venue. About half hour later he comes out and goes the the opposite side of the group of people I was in. I’m screaming to Selena, “OH MY GOD HE’S GIVING THEM TICKETS OMG”.  Everyone was screaming his name, then out comes Scrappy. I started screaming his name and the girls in front of me ask, “Who’s that?” I just stared and ignored them (they got free tickets btw…..)  Then out comes Allison . Selena and I screamed her name as she walks toward us, she asked, “Who doesn’t have tickets”. Everyone was screaming, all I could do was cry and say, “Allison, I don’t I don’t”. I saw her give one to Selena and she turned to the next person beside her, Selena reached out and said, “My friend my friend” and she said, “Is she here?” and I said, “Yeah I’m here!”. I couldn’t see if she had given her another one, Selena turns around crying and I said, “DID YOU GET TWO?” and says yes and we both dropped to the ground crying. Everyone was pushing us saying, “Ok you got tickets go go go”. So we crossed the street to wait for Justin to come back. He pulled up about 20 minutes later. We ran to the gate and he quickly went inside hold Jazzy, signing no autographs, but that was fine with me. I was so blessed to have goten a ticket. In all I saw Jermey, Scooter, Justin, Jazzy, Fredo, Chaz, Scrappy and Kenny. I also sat infront of two of his co-writers who told me what they had in store for Justin’s future sound and how we felt about a more mature Justin. Behind us was the guy from Never Say Never, Nathan, who’s Patties friend from when she was a teen.  The concert was amazing, we had 2nd row balcony of a 2500 people venue, so we were still very close. Justin was so personal with us, took requests, brought Jazzy on stage and told stories.  A few memorable moments was when he was thanking Dan and he said after “Enough of this mushy stuff, I’m a man, I’m a 40 year old a man living at home- inside joke”. Every Belieber knows what he was referring to. He said he wanted the concert to be like a family sitting around the campfire and I can honestly say it was so intimate. You just had to be there, there was so many moments where I cried and cried. Sorry, I’m still in shock. It was the best night of my life and I’m so grateful. I’ve never truly meant this until now but #NEVERSAYNEVER.   -@stefanimunoz  Read more: My name’s Stephanie and I’m 17. My experience has to…
