Young Beja “camped” in front at the Meo Arena in three days
Ines de Almeida is there are three days to the door of the pavillion Meo Arena, Lisbon, waiting for the concert of Justin Bieber on Friday, and not complain of the cold, preferring to speak of the new friends of the “family Bieber”.
“Oh, the staff, no one saw a bag of Bieber’s white?”, question to the “general” a fan of the singer canadian, which operates in Lisbon on Friday, and the “general” are some hundreds of people, mostly young and female, which are on the back of the pavilion, some since Monday.
Agnes is Known but he arrived in Lisbon on Sunday and not only was the logo for the Park of Nations, where stood the pavilion of the concert, because it was raining. “Monday at nine in the morning, was already here sitting. On the first night there was a security guard who let us open a tent but then it was forbidden. I have slept with a sleeping bag and a blanket,” says South, admitting that you have even so the past very cold but that, “in the end, it will compensate”.
Sleeping in the open and spend there the days, waiting for a concert a few hours, on a Friday night, however, it is more than that. Inês speaks of people who have arrived in England, many who came from Spain, of the Portuguese around the side, of “friends who do not give to count by the fingers”, as if they already knew each other “for years”.
Because they are all one family, says Eduarda, from Viseu to Lisbon on Wednesday, and to share with young people his age, the same taste, the desire to get to the front of the stage, as near as possible to listen to songs such as “Sorry”, “What do you mean?” or “I love yourself”.
The same desire to Miguel Rodrigues, who arrived in Guimarães a day before, and complained of the cold, even Justin Bieber deserves that effort, and “much more”. “Already the follow since my 13 years, I’m 19. I do not regret anything, I would repeat, if I could but still came sooner,” says the Portuguese youngster, who went on to join the clearances in the work to be there.
less than 24 hours of the concert are hundreds of young people surrounding the pavilion, sleeping bags on the floor, air mattresses and sleeping mats, blankets, jackets, backpacks and pillows, a few umbrellas, bags with food that comes from home or the logistic support of family members.
The area stays clean, the police officers ensure the safety and the cold joins them in circles, talking, singing songs, “Bieber”, while you play cards. Throughout the day you arrange the queue, you will be writing a list of the finishing order and, in the hands, the number of the entry. On the east side, the Ines has the number one, on the west side, the Neglected, the number three.
Diogo Malta has the number four but the tickets are more expensive, those who will give close to the stage. Arrived on Monday, but as he lives in Lisbon, has gone home to bathe and seek food. But sleeping there in a sleeping bag and is there almost always. “I’m past this cold for it.”
As it was the first to arrive, organizes the list of fans for that, on Friday, “there is confusion”, and prepares for the last night in the open, which, at first, even the left to assemble a tent .
No matter the Diogo. “Tastes are tastes, maybe four nights a lot of people will think that can be crazy. But who knows if he comes back? And I know that I will love this concert, and I’m here and I know that I’m going to regret this.”
Diogo already know the alignment, regrets that it does not include “One time” but, as Miguel, is looking forward to hearing “Purpose” or “Love yourself”.
Inês has no preference, loves all music and is a fan since 2009. As they are all there, a family where “no one sleeps, but no one get tired of” waiting for the Bieber.
