Hi Perez, love your site. I went to Orland Square Mall in Orland Park, IL to stand in line to get tickets to get an autograph from Robert Pattinson aka Edward Cullen. I left my house at 3:30 am and drove an hour to get there at 4:30 am. Reading your site earlier about the chaos in San Fransisco I researched when to be there. I even called the mall last night to find out what entrance to go to. They told me that people wouldn't be allowed to line up until 5:00 am and that Hot Topic would start selling wristbands at 7:30 am. So imagine my surprise when I got there and already 100 people where there all standing around telling me they were all sold out. There were plenty of police and mall security there. They told us that Hot Topic decided to sell the tickets earlier at 11:00 pm last night and that they were sold out at midnight. Then they proceeded to tell all of us that if we didn't start to leave they would arrest us. There were many upset and angry fans there, including me. I was talking to people who drove from Indiana and another group that drove 6 hours. I find it complete bull**** that the people who decided to follow the rules got punished. I'm not mad at the police, I'm pissed off at Hot Topic, for the bull**** that they pulled. I love the Twilight series and would have loved to have met Robert Pattinson who plays my favorite character in the book.
Something needs to be done. Thanks for listening.
