Nikki Reed and Paul Mc Donald sing The Best Part mostly featuring Nikki’s vocals at the Breaking Dawn fan camp concert. It was the first song Nikki ever sang live and she was really nervous but she did great.
Visting Breaking Dawn Fan Camp Friday
November 10, 2012
I didn’t get down there to the Breaking Dawn fan camp until almost 5:00 because my hotel room wasn’t ready, but once I did I had a lot of fun checking out the set up. This year they are largely keeping the plaza free of tents so people can congregate there for activities like movie watching and morning exercise. They have a DJ set up under the jumbotron who does a bunch of events during the day. I left just before the air guitar contest started. They also have the plaza blacked off with screens, so it really feels like a private event. It also takes the heckling from passing Lakers fans down to a minimum.
At the top of the plaza is a thank you card that fans can sign for Stephenie Meyer. I put my own name in you can see it below. I was torn between writing what I did and the alternative of “My vampires sparkle, want to make something of it?”
The tents this year go down the adjacent street and to the tops of two nearby parking decks. It’s colder and winder than this time last year, so I saw a lot of folks scrambling for mittens and blankets. One perk for the group 6 guys who were the waitlist people who cleared in, their tents are next to an air shaft that was blowing hot air.
Lots of creativity was around as usual with decorated tents on themes, and all sorts of art up. This is probably the aspect I’ll miss the most in all of this, the fan cameradrie and creativity. It’s awesome, and if you’ve ever experienced the bonding at a Twilight event you know what I mean.
I’ll bee visiting the camp today for some musical performers coverage” Christina Perri, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald, and a few others. Hey you never know when people drop by there may be more.

(Please Note: If your entry did not comply with the registration rules [e.g., duplicate entries, etc.], you may not receive notice of any kind.)

Breaking Dawn Part 2 Revised Info on Fan Premiere Camping
October 5, 2012
Below is the latest update from Summit. The information can also be found here – http://www.bd2premiere.com/ which is the official website where registration will take place.
FAN CAMPING – FAQ
Is there an advantage to registering as an individual vs. as a group? If so what?
There is no advantage – you’re entered into the drawing one time whether you enter as an individual OR as a group manager. For group registration, only the group manager is eligible to be picked for the rest of their guests. Guests are not counted as individuals, but they receive one chance at entering as they would if they had entered as an individual registrant.
In the drawing, is a group considered the same as an individual?
Yes. See above.
How will it work for those who were selected but can’t camp? Can they still come to stand on the red carpet or the bleachers?
Only fan campers will be permitted access to the red carpet/bleachers to view the arrivals.
If someone is selected from the drawing but, due to unforeseen circumstances, can’t arrive at tent city at the time designated, is their spot forfeited?
If you do not arrive within your time window, you will move to the end of the line and you will not be 100% guaranteed to have your spot. Special circumstances may be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
If someone has already booked their plane ticket and doesn’t get selected for the drawing, can they still come down to tent city to hang out and participate in events?
No, tent city and pre-red carpet events are for fan campers only.
If one member of a group can’t come at the last minute, will the entire group be turned away?
No, that individual’s spot will be forfeited. Following the drawing everybody will be ticketed as individuals but groups will be assigned the same check-in time.
How are wristbands being distributed? Are they being mailed or put on the day of arrival at tent city?
They will be distributed on day of arrival at the designated check-in times.
Is there a provision for people who are handicapped and unable to camp out? These people do have medical documentation to support this.
Yes, and these cases will be handled on an individual basis.
Do fans have to camp, or can they just get their wristband and come back on premiere day? If fans don’t camp out, is there any shot of seeing the premiere on the day itself?
Camping is required for red carpet/bleacher participation. This is the same as it has been in all previous years.
Is it 1,200 individual spaces or 1,200 spaces and another 1,200 group of ten? In other words, how many total people are allowed?.
There are a total of 1,200 individual spaces for all fan campers.
Do under-18s need the guardian staying with them so that both need to be selected, or can the guardian merely sign them in at the check in?
Guardians must choose the group option for registering with their minor. The guardian must register as group leader and be present with the minor at all times at the Fan Camp.
There is no guarantee fan campers are seeing the movie right?
Correct, we cannot guarantee access to see the film.
Group check in: does the entire group have to check in together at the same time if selected, or can one representative do it? There is some concern that if one person’s plane gets delayed that an entire group could be disqualified.
Groups must check-in together. The group will not be disqualified by an individual’s member’s absence. Special circumstances for individuals may be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
When fans register, will they receive an automated email confirming that their registration has been received?
Yes, there will be an automatic confirmation email sent out immediately following registration.
Will international fans have the same access to the drawing as domestic fans?
Yes.
Will there be a standby line?
There will be no standby line. There will be 1200 individual spaces for fan campers. If you don’t get a spot at the Fan Camp via the drawing you will not be able to attend.
Camping Rules for Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere
October 2, 2012
Here are the rules for the registration process for those of you interested in camping out for the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere! The whole process is different this year, sp be sure you read all the details.
Attention Twilight Fans, the World Premiere of The Twilight Saga finale, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” is nearly upon us. In order to give all faithful fans a fair chance to take part in the festivities planned leading up to the premiere, Summit Entertainment is putting in place some new procedures for this year’s fan camping.
Due to the high demand to attend this year’s Fan Camp and the limited amount of space available,
FAN CAMP TICKETS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH A RANDOM DRAWING OF ALL ELIGIBLE REGISTRATION SUBMISSIONS DURING THE REGISTRATION PERIOD.
The process to attend this year’s Fan Camp will happen in 4 phases:
Phase 1: Fan Camp Registration
Phase 2: Fan Camp Drawing
Phase 3: Fan Camp Ticket Notification
Phase 4: Fan Camp Check-in
There are approximately 1,200 Fan Camp tickets available in total. Each ticket is for one (1) spot at the Fan Camp. Fan Camp spots will be determined by a random drawing to be conducted after the Registration Period has closed. The winners of the drawing will be notified by email with instructions on how to pick up their tickets and when to report to Fan Camp for check-in.
This year all campers will be in the same Fan Camp area. Selection for a Fan Camp ticket does not guarantee eligibility for any other fan events, prizes or drawings. All special fan events and prizes will be determined by additional and separate random drawings.
Phase 1 – Fan Camp Registration
Fan Camp Registration will open at 12:00 PM PDT on Saturday, October 13, 2012 and will close at 12:00 PM PDT on Monday, October 15, 2012 (the “Registration Period”).
