So if someone wants to delete this it's fine, I just wanted to tell my tour experience, show you guys the photos and tell how things were here. My intention is not to get anyone upset or anything and I'm sorry if someone will be. I'm also sorry if my English is not perfect, it's not my strongest language hope you still get my point. This is really long so my apologies about that So we got in the venue around 6 AM in the morning, there was 7 people before me and my two friends. We got numbers (there was this number system that got to be chaos later, let me explain) 8, 9 and 10. I was number 9. We were so happy about it. We had only slept for an hour but we were so happy, just repeating 'we will get to the front row' to each other. Then we sat down to wait about 15 hours. Weather was nice then, it wasn't warm but it wasn't cold neither. People started to arrive and get numbers and scatter around the venue. We thought it was okay if people were closer the doors than we were because we had the key to everything: numbers. People were nice and we could leave the venue to walk around because of the number system. Then about 1 PM 2 attendants (is that a right word ) came and people started to run. My friend asked me 'Should we go or what' and I just said 'Yes' packed our stuff and ran there. I saw that person who was there first talking to those two attendants with couple others that were before us. We went closer thinking what is going on here. When they explained them the number system the attendants looked at each other and laughed. Then they said 'It's not our problem'. That's when I got super nervous and started to get worried. People that got there half an hour ago were way before us. Then they finally made a proper fence lines (that weren't there at 6 AM) and it started to rain. It was terrible because we didn't have umbrellas, literally nothing. Our clothes were wet and then it started to get ice cold windy. We watched how those two attendants were inside looking at us, laughing in their warm clothes. We asked is there anything, a shed, something we could go. No, we had to wait till 18.30 PM I can honestly say those were my short, 16 year old lifes most terrible 5 and half hours. I couldn't take it. It was hard to accept that we weren't making it to the front row but the rain, wet clothes and I was shaking. Time moved so, so slow. We tried to listen Paradise edition but it just didn't make the clock move faster. One girl asked the attendants 'Can we use the bathroom, in every consert that I've been they have open the bathroom's, what about tonight?' and the attendant laughed a bit and said 'Not tonight'. I was fine but some people were not. We couldn't leave anywhere because there wasn't any number system anymore. Another girl asked 'I know many people asked this but why didn't the number system work?' and they just said it's not their problem. I was in Gaga's show last year and there was a number system too that worked perfectly, I wasn't suspicious at all, I thought they knew about it and I was furious because they just laughed. Then it just was too much to me, I was too stressed. The rain, being so cold and the fact we were far away from the doors. It was too much to me so yes, I started to cry. I tried to stop but I couldn't. I hided my face so the others wouldn't think I'm ridicilous and started to shake even more. I didn't want to give up, I just said to myself I have to stand there. About 4 PM the attendants came to us asking 'Do you have the number's' and we were like 'Yes, yes!!' hoping something good was about to happen. Then they asked us to move to other line and we just got more far away and I couldn't believe it. We were even more far away. They started to make a new line and I asked my friend 'What are they doing' and she just said watching at them 'I hope finally something smart'. Then they said to us that the first one's get to be in that line happiness overload I repeated. We got there (There was about 20-25 people) and they build a fence around us so no one else would sneak out there. We were so happy in that moment I can't even explain, it was still 3 hours to go but it didn't matter. Rain stopped but wind was still terrible, it was ice cold. We dreamed about sauna and junk food in that moment since be hadn't ate that much that day. When I looked at other people they looked like they would like to kill me. I said 'this is so wrong and I hate it but I feel satisfaction when I see this view'. We were like a VIP - line, peple asked why we were there and just ugh, I felt bad and good at the same time We got inside before other's (just a little but still) and I couldn't run, I tried to but I couldn't feel my legs or my arms. Then there was a line again and people behind us started to run (I don't know what was the point? My friend was already there and we said that we wouldn't run or push anyone and we knew who was which number) so I had to run Immediately someone said 'Don't run!' and I slowed down. We lined there half an hour but it was inside and it was warm, slowly I started to feel my legs again. After half an hour they opened the door and people started to run downstairs. We saw the stage already and I walked fast because they told us not to run but the girls behing us ran and took our spot at the middle We got to be in the front row anyway, it was unbelievable. I had made a book to her and it included an elephant and heart - shaped necklace. In the ribbon I had wrote 'HAPPY B-DAY' and I hoped I could give it to her. My hands were pretty much full: KISS ME HARD BEFORE YOU GO? - shield and a poster (that was wet because the rain went into my bag also), a marker and my camera. We waited about an hour and then the opening act came, he was Kari Tapiiri. Hadn't heard about him before, but Lana had picked him. He is Finnish too. He played guitar and sang. Unfortunately many people said that he sucked out loud, complained that they were falling asleep I was embarrased about it. Why? It was only half an hour, he was ok and Lana picked him. And even if someone didn't like him, why did they have to say it out loud and booed to him? Come on. Then finally, after everything Lana came. People started to scream like crazy and I cried (all the time. I couldn't believe the person I've seen in pictures, listened to her music for so long, she was next to me. Unreal it was) and we sang so loud Lana had to say 'Turn that down and turn me up' or something like that. She couldn't hear her voice. I've been in many concert's but I've never seen or heard that kind of thing. I was proud to be Finnish, I was! She said that 'This is our last show and I can't think a better place to end it than here' and 'Your energy is amazing'. She also said 'Hope to see you again soon' I've seen video's about her taking photo's with the crowd and so on but she seemed more confined. There was this man that knew when she was coming down and stopped her almost. I loved, loved every song and I hoped that it could've last forever. She was so beautiful. When she came down again I took my book and tried to get her notice it. Girl beside me said 'She's got to have that' and when she started to get back I reached out my hand and people started to push me like crazy getting their hands as close as they could. She noticed me, she had to evade the hands that she could get to me. My heart beated fast, teardrops on my face, looking at her like then she gave me this cutest smile ever and said 'thank you' and I started shaking and crying. Then she moved on and I was like 'She got it. She got it. She got it'. I couldn't believe that. That moment was one of the happiest moments of my life. I even touched her (silken, I promise it was like silk) hand that was so soft and her amazing dress. I touched it too! Oh my god my heart is beating fast when I write this. In National Anthem she came again but went the other way. She came to us also but said only 'Hi, thanks for coming'. It was okay, but she had signed and took photos with the others But she got my book! She sang so good I swear like an angel. When she left offstage the band kept playing, Byron Thomas came played and smiling and Blake played the guitar and I was feeling amazing and sad at the same time. I heard someone made a shield that said 'Can you meet me after the show?' and she said 'I try'. She was busy and left but she left a few things signed to her like that special edition that costs so much and a book (I don't know what book, lyric book?). We were really tired and went to buy merchandise. I bought a signed litograph that was 80 euros, it is 18/200. Then I bought a couple other things too. Thank you so much Lana for the best night of my life and I hope you'll be back, miss you already! I would stand another 15 hours in pouring rain to be there again. After the show Finnish magazines claim that the screaming came from a recored tape and the singing too. They say that we spelled the words too good and too loud and it was like Justin Bieber's concert and 'it couldn't be so'. Also they claimed that Lana sang from a tape but oh well, we know what's real and what's not. She got a platium record here for Born To Die and design clothes made for her. I just hope she got my book and will read it! I hope she didn't forget it onstage... It's a blue book if you see it in any videos/photos, I'm so nervous about it! Right now I just enjoy warm bed and green tea, water and photos. I'm still so tired. Hope you enjoy the photos! PHOTOS ARE TOO BIG TO UPLOAD, GO CHECK THEM OUT IN MY BLOG http://hadmycakenow.blogspot.fi/
