We previously reported the confirmed dates for the Twilight talent tour, and now we have even more good news to share with you: the specific locations have now been confirmed! Hot Topic sent out an e-mail with more details and here’s what they had to say:

Attention Twilight fans! Edward, Bella and others from the highly anticipated movie based on the monster selling book are coming to malls across the country as part of the Hot Topic Twilight Tour!

How can you attend a Twilight signing? Read carefully! Purchase the $30 Twilight Tour tee and get a wristband that guarantees you access to the signing. Purchase must be made IN PERSON on the date of the event in the specific malls listed below. Space is very limited. You must have a wristband to enter signing.

For “Edward’s” appearances you must be one of the first 500 customers to purchase the Twilight Tour tee for access.

UPDATE: Krystyna has written in with some more information:

I stopped in at Hot Topic to pick up my Twilight soundtrack and started asking questions about the signing and he gave me some info.

He told me that you must be there by 6AM no earlier.

They will start selling the shirts and handing out wristbands around that time.
The reason they chose the locations they chose was because they are close the the airports.

$30 for a t-shirt and a guaranteed spot in the signing? I’d say that’s pretty reasonable.

What do you think? Is it too pricey or is it worth it for what you get? Do you plan on going now that you know specific details?

  • brooke

    that’s WAY exciting! does this start at a specific time?

  • Yesmina

    Sounds pretty resonable to me, but 500 limit is going to be slightly chaotic in my opinion.

  • Twilights My Crack

    WHAT!?
    NOWHERE IN LOS ANGELES?!!!
    WHAT?!?!?!?!

    SCREW YOU HOT TOPIC!
    :’(

  • Shelby

    It’s a 5 hour drive one way to go see Robert, and 2-3 to go see Taylor…so yeah the $30 for the shirt is great, reasonable, even, but the gas to get there…*shudders* my roommate and I are thinking about it…but we don’t think we can miss classes…

  • Ana

    Heck yes! I think it’s totally worth it. I’m definitely going to meet Edi and Taylor, I live in Miami. So I’m excited because I’d love to meet them.

  • tatiana

    hey where is TBA for the houston signing….i dont know where it is…

  • http://myspace.com/krinchinian kristine huegel

    What time will Robert be appearing at the KOP mall on the 13th?

  • Kristen

    And why isn’t Seattle on this tour? HELLO?! The book is based here! lol

  • Diana

    i think it is a bit pricey for a t-shirt but whatever… what time is this supposed to happen in Phoenix??.. I’m willing to ditch school for this!!! can’t wait

  • http://www.myspace.com/sexylove418 Crystal Rain

    AHHH!!!!
    i am soo going to the one on November 12th!
    Plus its my Birthday!!
    soooo im sooo sooo sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Samantha

    Hell yes!!! I live right around the corner from the KOP mall my friend and are are going to ditch school but we are so going!!!

  • Robbie

    I’m def. up for going!! but what time does this whole deal start in dallas on the 11th? i’m super excited!!

  • http://c.noriegasbcglobal.net Twilights My Crack

    HEY!!!
    IF YOU’RE IN HOLLYWOOD AND OR LOS ANGELES AREA, I FOUND OUT THAT PARAMORE WILL DO A MEET AND GREET AFTER A CONCERT!!!
    SOOOO, YOU ALSO HAVE TO BUY 30 DOLLARS WORTH OF PARAMORE/TWILIGHT SHIRTS.

    THEY ONLY HAVE LIMITED WRISTBANDS TOO!
    SOOOOOO, GET ON IT!

    OH AND ONE MORE THING!

    THE STORE MANAGER DID NOT WANT TO TELL ME!
    BUT SHE SAID THERE IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE TWILIGHT RELATED HAPPENING AT HOT TOPIC!!!

    SHE SAID I AM GOING TO CRYYYYYYYY!!!

    WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
    DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW?????

  • Bri

    OMG! I’ll SO be there! If my mom lets me skip school…
    And has off to drive me. Who am I kidding, I’d walk!
    I did research, and Paramus is only an hour and a half away!!
    To meet BELLA! Gosh, I’d pay $100, forget about $30!!
    Other than Nikki and Kellan (Rose and Em) she’s my fav!
    Then again, I’m being Alice for the premiere, so Ashley would be good…
    Gosh, I might get to meet KRISTEN STEWART!
    I’m a little confused, honestly, about the wristband thing. I have to buy the shirt at that mall on that day, right? Because if you need to buy it ahead of time, my mom won’t take me to buy it…

    Basically, what I need you to answer is this:
    To attend the signing, I’d need to get to Hot Topic in that mall on the same day as the signing, buy the shirt that day, and wait for her to arrive?
    Also: Do I buy one and get two wristbands, or buy a maximum of two shirts, equaling two wristbands??
    Because I want to go with my friend, but my mom would have to be there…THANKS!

  • Lisa

    The only piece of information missing is what time wristbands will be distributed and what time the actual signing is. Are the wristbands and T-shirts distributed right when the store opens to the first people waiting there and then the signing is later on that day??

  • Ana

    Hey everyone, I see that a lost of people are asking at what time. I would call the Hot Topic store and they have all the info. I called my store (Miami, Fl.) and I asked all info.:

    Hot Topic at Shops at Sunset (Miami, FL.) on 11/15: w/ Edi Gathegi and Taylor Lautner

    Time tickets(wrist bands and shirts) are being sold: on 11/15/2008 from 7:00 am-10:00 am (Max 750 people)

    Time for Meet and Greet and Q & A will start at : 4:00 pm on 11/15/2008

  • stefi

    Okay….
    That’s pricey just to meet a person. I mean, who cares? Rhetorical question. Thirty bucks? For a person who won’t remember your name?
    Not only that, but that’s only SOME places, it’s not like Taste of Chaos that you can enjoy yourself at a concert worth the money, which actually GOES towards something worth supporting. I never once paid that much money for a shirt or a bracelet or two together. It’s overly priced. And on top of that, FOR WHAT? Honestly, for what? Why are people suppose to send money to enter the store and just stand around while some drool over an actor? Plus, it’s not like you get anything out of that experience. Seriously. It’d be more worth while to stalk the person. (That’s a joke.)

  • caro

    do any of you guys where the TBA at Houston is located??

  • Bri

    So, the day I go I buy the wristband? Cool.
    I’ll have to call the Paramus store. Or have me mum….
    I’ll sooooo be meeting Bella!

  • Tippy

    I WAS going to go, for TA, but $30 and having to be there at 6 am and then wait around until 4 pm?!?!? Ummmm…nooooo..Plus, driving all the way over to Scottsdale Fashion Square, which is like snobsville…sheesh.

    Oh well, maybe next time…WHEN New Moon gets released ; )

  • Isabel

    Mall of America is in Bloomington…….. but whatever. Oh wow this is way exciting! I will so meet Taylor! He is so cool!!!!!!!!!!! But why does it have to be so early, I have school on the Friday that they come.

  • Karen

    I’m in Dallas and am gonna try to go. Its inside the Galleria though, does it open that early? Oh well….this old lady will bring her cane to fend off the teens, hahaha

  • http://www.myspace.com/kissme_x_killme alexandrax0

    OMG!! what time in boston is he going to appear??

  • Olive

    What time does the signing start?

  • http://twilightersanonymous.com/hot-topic-twilight-tour-specific-locations-announced.html#respond Chloe

    wtf??!! y is he not coming to LA??…like wtf is so important in san francisco?!…this is bull!

  • Lexie

    i’m going to the one at kop!! so freaking excited!!!!!!

  • Marianna

    I would like to know why Rob Pattinson or Kristen Stewart, who play the two main characters in the novel aren’t coming to Washington at all. The book takes place in WA and they aren’t coming here? Its so dumb. :(

  • Bri

    Does anyone know what the tee will look like?
    Also, here: http://community.hottopic.com/buzz/default.asp
    it says only signing posters Hot Topic is providing, are they free or will we have to pay for it?
    I think they should take pictures and sell them, they’d make a lot, and I’d want to rub it in peoples faces

  • Kaitlin

    Does anybody know what time Robert Pattinson is going to appear at the Square One Mall on 11/14?? If it’s during school my parents SOO won’t let me =((

  • Caitlin

    I want to go, but I don’t know if it’s really worth it. I can ditch the majority of my classes that day, but I have to go to at least the first two, and the second one doesn’t end until 10am. And Scottsdale Fashion Square is a good thirty minutes away, so I don’t want to drive all the way over there just to find out that all the tickets are sold out. I’d also have to cancel on a prior commitment in order to be there at 5pm for the signing, which would be really bad of me to do. And $30 for a shirt? Jeez. And I think $22 for a Twilight shirt at Hot Topic was bad…

    Gah. I don’t know. I really want to meet Edi and Rachelle, though. :(

    Oh, and for all of you possibly attending the one in Scottsdale, here’s all the specific info: http://www.fashionsquare.com/events.asp?id=7159

  • Mirandom

    I GET TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GET TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I LOVE JACOB BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    SCREW YOU BIATCHES!!!!

  • nightngale82

    Just wondering, since they are allowing first 500 peeps in for Edward/Bella and they are staying for some questions after the event, how many people can fit in there? Would it be the first peeps that were there already?

  • Uri (vapiregirl218)

    I think $30 is a good price considering what you’re getting. So what if I have to be there at 6am. I’m a true fan & that’s what we do…LOL Thanx Ana for the info about Miami. See u there LOL

  • nicole

    I can’t wait 4 the Miami 1 i’m so gonna b there hoot hoot so excited

  • samantha

    I live like, ten minutes away from the Orland Mall :)
    thirty dollars, so worth it . but no pictures..? eeeeeeh/:

  • monica

    I wanna go sooo bad but it is a problem with school on the 14th! and only 500 people are guaranteed…its gonna be crazy, all i can say is that there are going to be alot of fans skipping school to get to this as early as possible…i hope i make it!!

  • KaThLeEn

    Omg yay hot Topic miami is 15 min from my house!!! and on a saturday omg this is perfect!!! bt i hate the no cameras thing!!! :(

  • http://huh? Abby

    um, could we buy tickets online beforehand?

  • Brenda Wong

    omq i want to meet Taylor

  • tom conran

    usually how these things go is that every one is in line and they let about 15-20 people at a time. And you have to buy your tix in person. They usually hand out signed posters and then you shake their hand and talk to them a little.
    btw its pandamonium, trust me I worked the metro station meet and greet but its fun times. So go do it!
    LO
    VE
    tom

  • cj

    Ok this is going to sound really silly, but what do I say when I meet him(Rob) and get my things signed? I’m really shy and I don’t want to look or seem like a loser =P

    I’m willing to travel to Orland Mall, it’s so worth it!!

  • shannnn

    in minnesota is it at 6AM or 6PM?

  • shann

    if anyone finds out the time for the signing for the mall of america please respond.

  • Sharon

    The worst part about this is the no camera. Orland Square Mall ppl,

    I called them up and they said they start selling at 7:30AM and the signing isn’t until 6PM! OMG! That’s crazy. I just hope I’d be lucky enough to be one of the 500 people.

  • JTD

    i want to go sooo bad
    but my mom says i cant go b/c im not allowed to skip school
    i want my mom to go wait in line but she would definitly not
    but i mean they will sell the tickets early in the morning like around 6 AM so thats the only problem
    robs not even going to be there till like about 5 PM or 6

  • cassi

    Come to Madison Bella and Edward

  • ally

    i cant wait for the miami one i might go!!!!!! omg i wanna go xD but i wanna see edward:’( but i love jacob 2 =D

  • Lydia

    thoses places listed for the tour, is that THE ONLY places there going?? none r really near me… :(

  • Michaela

    To the person who doesn’t know where the “TBA” in Houston is, TBA stands for To Be Announced, meaning they don’t know the location just yet.

  • Danielle

    what time should we be at hot topic? And what time will the actors arrive at the store for the signing?

  • alex

    no pictures? are you kidding me??
    to me, pictures are a million times more valuable than an autograph could ever be.
    hmph ):

  • Rinnie

    OMFG1 HELLS YEA!!!! xD 30 bucks is so freakin worth it!

  • Madison

    ahh im so excited.
    but idk if i can be one of the first 750
    cause you have to be there when the store opens
    and i live about 2 hours away from scottsdale.
    ahh i wish we could have cameras.
    my mom is chill with me missing school
    but i wouldnt want to miss it if i cant get in.
    idk what im gonna do!

    by the way.
    you people who think $30 isnt worth it then you obviously arent true fans.

  • Alba

    I’m still going but it will be way worth it if we can take pictutes!!!!!

  • Meg

    Questioning the $30 t-shirt has nothing to do with being a so-called ‘true fan.’ It’s called having a brain.

  • Haikes

    Call the Hot Topic that you hope to go to for more information.

    King of Prussia:

    6:30 a.m. — Mall doors open

    7 a.m. — HT open to sell shirts. Only 500 available.

    5 p.m. — HT to close and then allow those with wristbands inside.

    6 p.m. — Pattinson to begin signing the provided posters. No photos permitted.

    Approx. 7:30/8 p.m. — Pattinson to be in mall for a public appearance. Open to all, standing room only.

  • http://myspace.com/jennmurder Jenn

    I’LL BE THERE!

  • Mouse

    FYI, the $30 includes the limited edition t-shirt (it won’t be available for purchase at any other time) and the poster that the cast members will be signing for you. When you think about how much a t-shirt and a poster usually costs…you’re not really paying that much more. Call the Hot Topic whose event you are attending to find out what time everything is happening, it may be different for each store.

  • melissa

    hell ya i live in san fran! but its stupid because they said they chose stonestown because its the closest to the airport but there is a mall with a hot topic that is 1 mile away and another mall with another hot topic 10 miles away in both the north and south direction and they choose the mall in san fran that is 20 mile away from the airport and in san fran which is horrible to drive in
    whatever
    ill still be there :)
    yaya edward

  • Lizzy!

    500 people in hot topic???
    that sounds insane!
    hot topic is tiny.
    but i still plan on going.
    I hope I make it in the first 500 :]

  • Iza

I think 30 bucks it ttly worth it!!! im soooo going hopefullly if i can convince my mom!! haha id have to skip skool but oh well!! oh and if anyone says 6AM is WAY too early haha i have to get up at 5:30 AM EVERY SINGLE DAY for school! So im also going cause ill be up tht early anyway!! haha did i already say $30 is sooooooooooooooooo WORTH it!!! im like soooo EXCITTTTEDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Emilie

    This question is for tom conran…since it sounds like you have experience with this stuff.

    Do you have any pointers or tips on how to ensure a spot in the “chosen” 500 to see Rob? Me and my daughter will be driving 4 hours to see him…so we want to do what we can to make sure we do!

    Also, if anyone else has done this type of thing before and can share any useful information with me I would really aprreciate it!

  • Chelsea

    Crap!All seattle gets is dumb jacob and victora? Why cant we get the hotties like james or Edward?
    Boo to you hot Topic!!!

  • Lulu

    What’s the schedule for Robert P. in San Fran?

  • Lauren

    I really hate how this is on a Monday, but considering it’s Rob Pattinson, it’s worth it. Also, I have the next day off. So I really won’t be missing much worthy of being in school. I still feel a tad bit guilty though haha. I’m going to the one in San Fran to meet Rob =]]]. Oh, people asking about the schedule, call the mall and get transferred to Hot Topic. They’ll tell you some details.

  • Katherine

    Does anyone kno what time the shirts will go on sale at the Fair Oaks Mall?

    im hopefully going to teh one on nov 10th in seattle so any more info about that date is appreciated:)

  • Sharon Poynor

    Thanks for posting the schedule but there are no times. I live in San Francisco and we are the first appearance on the tour at Stonestown Galleria with Robert Pattinson tomorrow, NOVEMBER 10.

    I have checked the EVENT page of the Stonestown Galleria’s website and they do not have a mention of the event. Since I’m not on any email list it would be helpful to have information (TIMES) posted on Twilights Official Website. Thanks for a response.

  • Ashley A.

    OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG!!!
    soo
    excited for the
    autograph signing
    in phoenix.
    Jacob “Taylor Lautner”
    is a god
    XD

    im ditching school
    to go by the way.

  • MissAlicia

    Hi.. i am going to SAN FRAN tomorrow.. I am a flight attendant and am flying in .. my friend is flaking on coming and want to find others who will be there … looking to find people to meet up with .. ANYONE?

  • iliketurdles

    Anyone have any info for the Bella appearance in Garden State Plaza?

    Time to buy the shirt, how early should we be there, where do we wait, and the autograph meet and greet thing?

    Found out today, but can’t call since the mall is closed on Sundays. :(

  • Amber

    I also talked to the hot topic workers. They told me that people will not be allowed to spend the night. And they will start selling at 6am but you can be there as early as 5am. 30$ for a shirt and wristband and also a poster/picture that the cast can sign. No personal belongings. Slightly lame if you want to get a book signed but just meeting them would be worth it.

  • jill

    Money is the only issue.
    I’m not rolling in cash…

  • Tina

    Sucks that you can’t get other stuff signed.
    But oh well.
    So what if he won’t remember your name…you still get to be dazzled by his gorgeousness for like 5 minutes :) haha. its aaaaalll worth it. :D

  • jmah

    For the SF one tomorrow (Monday, November, 10 2008) here’s what’s happening (I called the people so this is what they said):

    - Place: Stonestown Galleria
    - Start selling at 8:00 a.m.
    - Lines would probably form at around 7:00 a.m. (but be early just in case!)
    - Robert will be there at 6:00 p.m. so hang around while you’re waiting I’m guessing =D

    * HOPE THIS HELPS!

  • POPE!!!!

    I don’t get to go!! That sucks, but it’s not like they are the real Jacob, Victoria, or Laurent, it’s just the actors. But i still want the shirt!!!!! Are u sure this is the only time they are selling it?

  • nxf

    I need 2 wristbands…
    I’m going crazy trying to find hot topics that arnt sold out.

    If any one has 2 wristbands they would like to sell me…i’ll be happy to buy them off you :]
    OR please tell me were i can get them (Hot topic that ISNT sold out) :}

    email me:

    sxeriot@hotmail.com

    thank you..

  • iloveedwardcmp

    I waited today in front of the SF mall since 3:30 am. After being almost squished to death waiting in line for over an hour they canceled the event it was horribly unorganized… why was it canceled?

  • Jessica

    San Francisco Canceled!

  • Lori DeLeon

    SF visit cancelled per store manager. Police shut down as mob formed @ 3 a.m. I’m devastated.

  • Jennifer

    VERY unhappy that signing was canceled at San Fran!! >=( took a lot of time out of schedule and money!!

  • EdwardCullenIsMyFutureHusband

    WHAT! IT WAS SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • MadMom

    copy of complaint to Hot Topic corporate……
    I should have know there was a problem with Hot Topic customer service last Saturday when your employee at Stonestown Galleria, San Francisco, CA was wearing a “F” YOU button(and the four letter word was spelled out,) when I went in to ask him about the Twilight event. I was one of the many people who drove over two hours today to Stonestown Galleria(there were also many who came from up to 10 hours away), and stood in line for a cancelled event. The reason I am writing to you is to complain about the complete disregard for security for this event. Why didn’t Hot Topic or Stonestown Galleria have security to organize the line, have cones up, ropes up, or something to prevent people from grouping up in a glob to get in? My daughters are very disappointed, not because they didn’t get a wristband, but because they had no chance of getting a wristband with the horrible security and disorganization of the event. You should re-schedule it and do it RIGHT!!!!!!!! P.S. Is it a corporate policy for employees to wear buttons printed with the “F” word or is it optional? Very disappointed and exhausted

  • clare

    do you think they will cancel the tour if there is a repeat of what happened today in san fran?! i was thinking of going to the King of Prussia one b/c it’s only a 1/2hr away but if there is going to be a mob of 3,000 ppl i might not. it’s not until thursday but i’m thinking if it’s crazy at his other appearances they might just not do it??

  • gaby

    im going to the miami one and i was wondering…for those of you who went today (even though it wazs cancelled) what time do you think is appropriate to get there. I was planning on getting there at 3:00am but i’m not sure if that’s too late??? please email me at thatswhatgabysaid@gmail.com with your opinions on what time to get there. I would greatly appreciate it (:

  • kristy

    So im planning on going to the King of Prussia even on Thursday, someone mentioned above that mall opens at 6:30am, they start selling shirts at like 7 or something. So my only question is, if i get a ticket to go to the signing, do i then have to wait around till 6pm or can i go home and then come back? Cause i mean if i leave and come back, they cant deny me entry if i have a ticket already?

  • jmah425

    Yeaaa um I live in SF so if i were you I would get there probably before three in the morning, but since they dont let you in line ebfore a certain time just stay in your car!!! Either that or get kicked out of line or tortured in the crowd

  • jmah425

    UPDATE!!!!!!

    Apparently Pattinson did show up at Stonestown afterall at 6:00 p.m! But then it does suck for those who have given up on him =(

  • jen

    Does anyone know anything about the november 14 one in boston? like what time will it open or anything?

  • cesar

    So..in San Francisco.. you absolutely blew it in a huge way .. showing your unprofessionalism…those kids that waited –one being my daughter who drove up from LA and wkoe up at 4:30 AM with one security guard to control the whole thing away.Let me explain that she’s a starving kid who fairly waited and left after being told it was cancelled..unbelievable

  • Eli Nicole

    I BELIEVE YOU CAN NOT BLAME HOT TOPIC! its not hot topics fault that some random MOM made an UNAUTHORIZED LIST at SF , without any permission from even the security guard,employees, employee manager or anyone from the mall! from what everyone was told was that ligning up before 6am was NOT allowed. people were asked to leave at 11:30am the night before. Now back to the list, this mom took down namesand numbered everyone on her own risk, not knowing that by the mall security and employees were told by the people who planned the event that at least 200-500 people would show up, not 3,000. there was 4 security guards workign there, and one was up front asking people to form a line and threw the list out of any useage cause it wasnt THEIR list and they were not the ones who started it and it was not approved since the employees were telling people that called to start showing up aroudn 6am or 7am. Therefore when people started actually lining up the ones with the numbers ran towards the doors, the ones that were there early had a chance to form a line and instead made their own choice. and the injuries that followed was not hot topics, the security or the malls fault at all. Parents WERE there watchign thie kids in the “mob” and did nothing to help the situation and yet i watched the parents who had kids in line help security ask the line to back up to make room so the mob up front could form a line. it was those kidsfault who did not listen as to why it was cancelled along all the injuries. Also, the fact that when the mall opened and kids formed lines to get into hot topic, the employees did the best they could to handel the situation with their 10% off coupons and watching the crowd. and as far as it was uncancelled and went on anyways and im happy that at least the second time around it went really well.

    I was there yesterday in San Francisco, at around 8am. By that time the crowd had totally dwindled down to what looked like about a hundred people. I cannot say for sure.

    But earlier there was a huge riot and people got hurt. It was so disorganized and chaotic. From what I heard there were only like, two mall security guys there to handle over 2000 people.

    The HotTopic Rep that was talking to everyone when I arrived said that the mall, Stonestown Galleria, hadn’t taken the signing seriously. They did not think it was such a big deal so they didn’t beef up the security. BUT. I had also heard from other first hand accounts that HotTopic only figured a couple hundred to show up too, which is ABSURD. Regardless, I think HotTopic should have done a follow-up on security and the like.

    So, here is where it gets really messed up.

    I was there listening to all of this about it being canceled. Even the HotTopic Rep said it was canceled, so A LOT of people, including myself, left thinking it was useless. Some people were staying, I guess, because they thought it was a joke. People missed school for the chance to go to the event.

    THEN, I found out later when they opened the mall and the HotTopic store they started selling the wristbands and t-shirts! And the event was UN-CANCELED. That was COMPLETELY UNFAIR to everyone who waited in line patiently, came from other states, came earlier, and people like me who were there and had the chance to buy a wristband (since there were not a lot of people at the time the mall was about to open) but left because authority said it was canceled!

    What a mess.

    I am boycotting HotTopic until they make this up.

    And I’m suprised the girl who got her nose broken hasn’t sued.

  • kristy

    Ok so ive been trying to call Hot Topic at King of Prussia for the past hour and they’ve been engaged. Either they’ve taken phones of the hook lol or a million other ppl out there desperate for info like me are flooding the lines. Does anyone have info on Robs appearance at King of Prussia on Thursday ie what time we can line up, if we can leave and come back after tickets are bought? Oh and what time did other ppl line up at san fran etc to get tickets, i just want a rough idea of how early i should go? Help would b greatly appreciated!

  • Eli Nicole

    every hot topic and new updated websites have said no earlier than6am since of the sf mob

  • Mandy

    What about LA??

  • kristy

    So im guessing ppl will b hiding in thier cars at like 3 till they can line up lol anyone else going to KOP, if so, what time do u plan on getting there?

  • ash

    So I have herd alot of different times of whwnto b there can any one give me an actual site to look at. it would really help!

  • Amy

    If the mall has parking lot security they will not even let you stay in your cars in the lot to wait.

  • Eli Nicole

    this link shows robert saying he knew the event in SF was cancelled as a diversion and then admits he should not have said that

  • Valentino

    saw robert today up close and personal! Here it is… I was in front of him!

  • Catrina

    Hey everyone guess what..
    If you want to be one of the people to get an exclusive wrist band make sure you don’t show up when Hot Topic claims there going to begin selling their wristbands..
    On their website they claimed to be selling them at 7:30 a.m …no sooner..
    and that anyone camping out to buy tickets any sooner would be subject to arrest..
    Darryl Kinsley ,”I made the decision to begin selling the tickets because their we’re already 500 people lined up and waiting.”
    it’s good to know following the rules means something..
    when asked why they had not informed people of this decision (false advertisement) they responded “we didn’t want what happened in San Francisco to happen here.”
    THANKS HOT TOPIC
    its good to know all the Hot Topic employees could get an e-mail out that night to all their friends and family informing them of KInsleys decision…
    GOD BLESS AMERICA

  • http://myspace.com/emilyyypce emily

    I went to Kind of Prussia last year, and actually got my wrist bands and was able to go to the signing and meet Rob. All I know is the more cooperative that you are with the people there, the smoother things will go. Everyone there went more than out of their way to make sure everything was going well, and it really was a good time. Everything was very organized and professional. You seriously only get maybe 30 seconds in front of Rob, and they literally rush you in and out. But, it was so worth it. Have fun guys.

  • Dexe

    I went to the Stonestown Galleria (San Francisco) madness last year with my 12 year old cousin. We drove out there while it was still dark and waited in a line that wrapped around the building and then we were all run off by the cops because people got trampled at the front of the line. I just don’t have the energy to deal with that junk again. I’m gonna see if one of my friends who is working on the movie can let me bring in my cousin so she can see how they work with story boards and computer graphics instead. And maybe Robert or Taylor will be there… they’ve been to my friend’s work before!

  • courtneyevans35@yahoo.com

    OMG i hope they come to seattle i’m a HUGE twilight fan i cant stop reading the books…..I WANNA MEET THE CAST!! it would be so much fun.

  • niki

    Ok, I’m so confused I live in Indiana but I’m willing to drive to Chicago for this signing but when should I show up to stand in line? I’ve heard a lot of different times :(

  • Jen

    They updated everything on hot topic. Pretty weak cast appearances. No Kristen, Taylor, or Rob :(

  • Lisa

    Last year at King of Prussia mall we waited from 9pm THE DAY BEFORE to buy the tshirts the next morning. There were already 500 people before midnight. I suggest if you go…..plan on camping out all night long. Then we waited in line for over an hour at the actual signing to see Robert for 20 seconds. I wouldn’t do it again.

  • Amanda

    it would be better if they atleast added a stop in Georgia. I live in Alabama and could make it to Georgia. I can’t make it to Florida.

  • Angie

    They could at least get the date right as to when “New Moon” will be opening in the the theater’s, it’s not November 21st, it’s November 20th!!!

    Hope that helps!
