Fan Encounter Report from Atlanta Breaking Dawn Tour Stop

Have you been wondering what exactly goes on at the Breaking Dawn cast and concert tour?  HisGoldenEyes.com reader Melissa Rife (@ejswife95) shared with us her rundown of Monday night’s experience at the Atlanta tour stop.

When we arrived at The Buckhead Theater in Atlanta we got our tickets and went into the theater. We had missed the red carpet due to traffic. The theater was very beautifully decorated with white lights on the ceiling and Breaking Dawn banners and photos set up all along the entry aisles.  Beautiful white lacy tables with red roses were set up for you to enjoy a light snack of candy “apples,” mini burgers, crab cakes and various other tasty snacks and drinks being served by sharply dressed wait staff.  There was wedding cake for dessert to add to the wedding reception ambiance.

There were two large rooms set up with different stations where you could get a temporary tattoo, have your picture taken as the happy couple in front of a green screen, you could make a poster, and they were also doing mini makeovers.  There were several TV’s set up around these rooms that were playing the Breaking Dawn trailer.  In the main theater they also had the trailer playing on the big screen.  This room was decorated with apples as garland.

While we were waiting for the main event to start they were throwing out tiaras with veils on them to the crowd.  The local radio station came on stage around 7 PM and started a trivia contest – prizes included Breaking Dawn t-shirts, key chains and special premiere movie passes.  Christina Perri was up next.  She performed three songs for us including “A Thousand Years” from the Breaking Dawn Soundtrack.  She said she was very happy to be involved in this project.

Finally we got to see the Breaking Dawn cast.  In attendance were Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone and Charlie Bewley.  Ashley and Nikki were beautiful, and Jackson was a hit with all the ladies as was Charlie.  Of course my attention was usually on Jackson and Charlie who were both “hamming” it up for the crowd.  We saw the many faces of Jackson Rathbone.  Ten fans were picked to go up on stage to ask the cast questions.  The cast members answered all of the questions to the best of their ability and interacted with each fan that asked a question.  The majority of the questions were for Ashley and Nikki.  Each cast member threw an autographed t-shirt to the crowd and Jackson left us with a clip of Breaking Dawn.

It was a great experience.  If this tour comes through your town I would recommend going to see it.  Tickets are hard to come by so be sure to email the tour promoter to find out how to get your tickets and also check out area radio stations who may be giving out tickets.  This was the first stop on the tour and everything was very well done.

There’s three more tour stops – tonight in Dallas, tomorrow in San Francisco, and the final stop is in Salt Lake City on Friday night.  Last night it stopped in Chicago.

Who’s going to the last three stops? Who are you excited to see?
