My name is Lexi, and I’m from Phoenix, Arizona . I never EVER thought I would be sitting here writing my own Bieber experience. This long, amazing journey all started a few months ago when Justin announced his Believe Tour. I knew right then I would never be able to pay for tickets, given that my dad had recently had a heart attack and we had tons of medical bills to pay for. Then my friend Brooklynn (who also didn’t have tickets) and I started talking, and we then both thought, “Hey, why don’t we go wait outside the arena on the day of the concert and see if we can somehow get tickets from the Bieber Crew!” After weeks of preparing, we had this day planned out perfectly. We had posters made asking for tickets. Brooklynn’s mom brought us to the arena at around 3 p.m. and the concert started at 7. We were completely overwhelmed because of how many people were in need of tickets as well. Right when I walked out and saw the mass of people who were already there FOUR HOURS before the show even started, I was like, “Oh my gosh. We are not getting tickets.” So me and Brooklynn walked around with her mom, trying to find the Bieber Crew. We had met these two girls who told us that the Bieber Crew hadn’t come and given tickets yet, and were maybe secretly planning on coming out after everyone had gone in to take their seats. We walked around some more, and talked to a few scalpers who were trying to sell their tickets. We turned down a few offers that seemed sketchy and were too expensive. Then it was around 6, and one of my local radio stations, 101.5 Jamz was having a contest where one lucky winner would win two FRONT ROW tickets. Brooklynn was chosen out of the crowd of people to go answer a trivia question, and she got it right! She moved onto the “finals.” When the finals came around, they didn’t tell her to come back on stage, so a different girl unfairly won. At this point the concert was almost starting and people were starting to go inside the arena. We were sobbing. We were so close to giving up, when we saw that a ticket booth had opened up and they were selling leftover tickets , even though supposedly it was a sold out show. Brooklynn and I were waiting in line sobbing with her mom, like full blown tears at this point. Then her mom said, “Hey, why don’t you guys walk around one more time and see if there’s anyone selling tickets.” We got up and walked around when we heard the two girls who we had previously met before screaming on the top of their lungs. We panicked, and ditched our posters (except for one that said “Bieber Crew Make Our Dreams Come True”) and ran towards them. Then we saw ALLISON from the Bieber crew standing there with the two girls, who were holding tickets in their hands and sobbing. Then we hugged them and congratulated them. Allison asked if we had tickets and we said no. She said, “Well sorry we’re out of tickets.” So the tears came back. Then she whispered to someone else from the Bieber Crew (I think it was a dancer, but we weren’t sure because it was dark outside) and then said, “Do you girls really want these tickets?” and we shouted YES! She said, “Is it just you two girls or is there someone else with you?” Brooklynn said, “Well my mom is here,” and Allison asked, “Well she wouldn’t mind if you went without her, would she?” Then we said no, and she handed us tickets. “Here are two tickets in the front row!” Then we hugged her so tight, thanked her and screamed at the top of our lungs! I was hyperventilating, literally. We ran away and didn’t get a picture with her in the midst of all the excitement. I was about to pass out, for real. We approached her mom who was still waiting in line at the ticket booth, and Brooklynn screamed, “MOM WE GOT TICKETS. CAN WE GO?” and she said, “Yes, yes! GO!” We ran in, and got inside the arena. There were probably 15,000 people out there and we were in the front. I couldn’t hold in the tears. We walked in right before Carly Rae Jepsen started performing. Everyone around us was so sweet and congratulated us. It all happened so fast and I can truly say it was the best day of my life. Justin was probably 3 feet away from us when he touched people’s hands. He SWEAT on me. Not kidding. I made eye contact with Justin Drew Bieber, the person I’ve been dreaming about seeing for 3 years. I am so blessed and thankful and could have never done this without Allison and my friend Brooklynn. It was truly amazing and I can’t even put it into words how happy I am. I’m still in shock. If any of you don’t have tickets for Believe Tour, DO NOT GIVE UP . I never EVER EVER EVER thought I would actually see Justin in person, let alone be in the FRONT ROW. Thank you to everyone on Twitter who supported me through this journey. Allison: if you ever come across this, thank you. You made my dreams come true. Justin if you’re reading this, thank you SO much. I love you so much I can’t even describe. I’m so proud of you. To everyone else reading this, Justin is right. Never Say Never -Lexi @niall5eva
