December 15, 2013 - Details on Justin Bieber's Believe premiere, tickets, etc.

I tweeted a link for tickets to attend Justin Bieber's Believe and was overwhelmed by passionate Beliebers!  Thought it might be a good idea to lay out all the details here, instead of typing the same thing to people over and over with little space to go into detail.

Justin Bieber's Believe premiere is taking place at Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE Stadium 14 on December 18th.  Justin Bieber and many other celebrities are scheduled to begin arriving at 5:30 p.m.  The Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE Stadium 14 is located at 1000 West Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles.  Directions can be found here.

Here's details for those who would like to attend:

The first step is signing up for a free account at Gofobo.com (it's quick and easy).  Every second counts and tickets often go fast, so you don't want to waste time setting up an account if more tickets free up.  Keep an eye on this link.  Tickets are gone, but more may free up.  From past experience, tickets go quickly (these took an hour to deplete) and more tickets often free up the day of and/or day of the premiere.  Even if you get tickets, tickets don't guarantee entry.  Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's still important to arrive early.  If you get tickets and arrive an hour or 2 before the premiere, you probably won't be getting in.  The tickets are also printable, so make sure you have access to a printer.

The next step is to keep an eye on GetScreeningCA (GetScreening.com for those who aren't on Twitter) and CAScreenings.  They're the best accounts for posting screenings and premieres and are the only movie screening accounts I recommend.  They may post new links, so it's important to keep an eye on them.  You can also set up for text or e-mail notification when tickets are posted.  The one negative is, they probably won't mention they're premiere tickets, so you're going to have to click the link to make sure.

If you still don't have tickets as we get closer to the premiere, there's still hope.  BelieveMovie have some contests to win tickets and some tickets will be given out at the premiere.  Bleachers will also be set up in front of the theater and open at 10:00 a.m. for fans without tickets.

Special thanks to Belieber Irene H. and many of Justin's fans for their love and support!
