Meeting Ed In Portland 10/5/12

I got to meet Ed when he performed in the Bing Lounge in Portland, Oregon. As soon as I found out he was performing I started listening to Live 95.5 religiously to try to be caller number 9, and well I was after calling in on 9 different occasions. I decided to make him a bracelet and also gave him an Oregon pin.

On Friday I went to wait in line for the Bing Lounge. I gave the lady my name and she went to give me two passes and I told her it was just me and I ended up getting a front row seat!! Everyone got sat down and Ed came out. He played Lego house, You need em I don’t need you and A Team. Finally it was time to meet him.

 I told him “I know you like Pingu so I made you this bracelet.” He took the bracelet, smiled at me and said “This is really sick actually.” We took our picture and I left to go get a spot in line at the venue.

The concert was absolutely amazing, I was only about 10 feet from the stage. I stayed after to try to meet Ed again but it started to get late and I had to drive alone for an hour and a half.

Is there a designated area for each venue that you would meet Ed at? I'm seeing him in Febuary in Los Angeles, but I keep worrying about missing the opportunity to meet him just because I can't find him. I know you probably don't have every venue he goes to mapped out in your mind, but what would you reccommend for me to make sure I don't miss anything? Thanks for answering xoxo

There’s no designated area…. Every time I’ve met him, it’s been by his tour bus - Hope that kind of helps :)

I’m aware of that… There are a few “holiday” type of shows happening that Ed will be at in December, I just can’t post info about them until they are all officially announced!

Heyyy I was just wondering what is the dress code to a ed sheeran concert+what kind of merchandise is sold at the concert? Thankyou again in advance

Asked by: Anonymous

There’s no dress code, just look cute! - and I’m really not sure what merch will be sold at his UK tour but it’ll probably be similar to what was available during his recent US/Canada fall tour which you can find here: http://mysheeranexperience.tumblr.com/post/31895889233/this-is-for-those-wondering-what-merch-is :)
