Concert Camping

Hey everyone;
Thought I would do a blog on 'concert camping.'
We've all done it right? Found out that the singer we adore is doing a concert that is all standing and you want to be at the front so badly or an actor we love is walking the red carpet at some big award show and were dying to see them, yes? Well then I'm guessing you've done what I call concert camping and yes I have done it myself on a couple of occasions. (call me crazy if you must.)

I did this when I saw Justin Bieber at westfield shopping centre with loads of other girls camped outside from around 12:00am until 8:00am to get wrstibands for the concert and be in the first 1000 that get them considering when I got there , there were already 600 people I think that was pretty crazy.

I have also done this but in the day time for Conor Maynard waiting outsie the venue for him from around 11:00am until 7:00pm when the doors opened for his concert and it rained... alot. Luckily where me and my friend were there was cover.

So in this blog I thought I would write out some things you definietely need in order to survive a concert camp out. (cause they can be long and very cold.)

1. Always make sure to keep warm! - Wrap up in loads of layers maybe even bring a blanket or duvet for extra warmth, doesnt matter if you look a bit weird because most people will be doing the exact same thing, go all out ou dont want to get sick or not enjoy the experience.

2. Make sure theres food around! - Always make sure you are near some kind of open food place or have food with you cause some girls who have qued near me at Justin ended up not eating and fainted halfway through. Not a fun experience. Venues are often in walking distance of a McDonalds or a Subway or something along those lines so do a swap every so often with the person you are with to go on a food haul.

3. Get involved or blank out. - You end up mixing with lots of different people at these kind of things... some nice and some well; not so nice. There can be people who get competetive or like to judge people very easily on what they look like or even how much of a fan they are. The best thing to do is create your own entertainment and see what happens. If you wanna have a laugh and blast music and eat loads of junk food and snuggle up in a duvet on the street and be the biggest idiots in the que making the most noise then do that. (I often end up doing that with friends) make conversation with the fans around you after all you all share one common intrest so theres a lot to talk about.

4. Be on the look out for cameras! - A lot of the time when a mass group of people camp out for a celebrity cameras turn up on the scene, all the tabloids and newspapers wanting their big story on the 'MEGA FANS RISKING THE DEEP FREEZE AND NO FOOD FOR TEEN IDOL' yeah right thats a load of rubbish. We are eating and wrapped up warm to stop it. They will be videoing you for websites and newspapers and stuff to do with the event so avoid any little things you wouldnt want to be on websites or newspapers. Or if you want to be noticed go all out! The star could even be shown the atmosphere so they get a glimpse of whats to come.

I didnt have a photo of my own and credit is across the picture but heres what it often looks like. Tents , banners, people and rubbish bags everywhere haha. Rather large campsite.

Hope you enjoyed this blog if you have done this yourself or you want to do it then go for it, you will have good fun :)
