My DigiFest Experience!

Okay well what can I say, DigiFest was one of the most dramatic days of my life! I have never cried so much and not for a good reason! As you may know reading this I won a pair of VIP tickets to DigiFest UK and that entitled me to a meet and greet which included Cimorelli! Thats the only reason I entered at all. I feel like I need to subtitle this blog because it may be long.

Arriving

Me and my friend arrived at the venue at 1pm, we panicked because we where an hour late because of a crash on the motor way. Luckily we were let into the venue and given out VIP passes and badges that entitled us the experience. We ran straight up the stairs which lead us to a massive queue to meet the YouTubers and Cimorelli and the other people who where there, I instantly freaked out standing on the barrier and I could see Cimorelli signing and hugging fans. I was almost in tears!

We queued for 90 minutes and along the way met some amazing people. Then a guide came over and said we cant let you in but if we hold punch your passes you will get a special meet and greet later. I started crying my eyes out. As everyone was leaving in tears I stood as close as I could to the girls table and waved. Lauren saw me and waved back, but that didnt cheer me up.

We knew we had the chance to meet them later but because we had to leave 90 minutes earlier we new there was a large chance we would miss is. We went to look at the agenda to see when Cimorelli performed and I found that it was not till later on and I would miss is. I was crying uncontrollably, so many people where worried and we explained the situation.

The Second Meet and Greet

A few hours later we started queueing for the later meet and greet, I queued two hours to get to the door to be told that the YouTubers where not allowed to sign anything and that it was just photos, me and my friend got a few tears but held them in, then when we walked in we entered a small room with a small hand full of YouTubers in and we couldnt take selfies of give them anything it was just a photo in a group and then move on. I was fuming at that point!

Then the worse came, Cimorelli where not in there! I held in the tears but as soon as I walked out I balled and balled, my friends where upset because of the bad meet and greet but I knew I wasnt going to get to see Cimorelli and wasnt even going to see them perform. I set to Twitter to let everyone know about the bad experience that I had, letting them know I was devastated to be not giving them the fanbook! I just sat silently on the stairs with tears running down my face.

The Miracle

I just wanted to go home and so did my friend, we had had the worst day and didnt even want to be there any more, thats when I recieved a Direct Message from Digi asking me what was wrong and how they could help me. I told them what had happened and they told me to stay after the show, I explained to them how I couldnt because of travelling. They told me to go the black gate at the side of the building. I freaked out, this could not be happening.

We waited and waited until a women came and told us to follow her as Cimorelli where practising for their performance! I was going to meet Cimorelli.

Meeting The Girls

I walked around the corner not knowing what to expect and I just saw them, I fell silent and put my hand to my mouth, I was star struck! My friend had to introduce me and tell them I was there biggest fan! Katherine ran up to me straight away and gave me the biggest and best hug! Then the rest followed! I hugged them all and they asked me why I had to leave early and all I remember saying was 'Its weird not seeing you on my computer screen'. I didnt get to much time with them but it was just me and it wasnt being rushed by anyone else!

I got a group photo and gave them the fanbook which I hope they enjoyed looking through! I gave them all hugs then said goodbye! I cried as soon as a turned away. Then things got better, they cam on stage before I had to go so I had the chance to see them perform Million Bucks and Made in America and their new one Come Over which was brilliant!

After the experience I dont think I will be going to another Digifest but I will be saving up so that I can go to any Meet and Greet that Cimorelli do in the UK and it was so lovely meeting them! Sorry the photos and videos are not the best I was just shaking most of the time! If you want to see the full fanbook that I gave to Cimorelli then you can click here >> CLICK ME

I would like the thank Cimorelli for taking time out of their practice to chat to me and meet me! It was so sweet and also DigiFest for giving me the chance to be there, it was a really nice experience but so emotional!
