Meeting Enrique Iglesias, 10.05.2016. Serbia, Belgrade - my experience | airport + concert

A few days ago Enrique Iglesias had a concert in my country, so before that me and my friends were applying for all kinds of contest to win meet&greet. You don't expect someone to say his, but fortunately none of us won any.

So we decided to do it on our own and the first thing we though of was to wait for him at the airport. He was supposed to arrive on may 9th, the day before the concert. So three of us plus a girl we met there gathered at the airport that day and there was a lot of reporters too. Everything was perfect because we were the only fans there and we didn't even doubt that we'd meet him and take pictures. We waited for a few hours but then we found out that his flight was canceled, and that he'll probably arrive the next day at 3PM. So we came to the airport again, and one more frend joined us and we also met another girl later that day, so now there was 6 of us. The weather was terrible that day, we had to wait in the rain for hours, and none of us had an umbrella so we had to hide underneath the flag that one of my friends brought. I wouldn't say that it was hard for me to wait for two days at the airport, because I was there with amazing people, so I can't really complain about that, it was pretty fun actually, even the first day when Enrique didn't arrive.

So during the day we found out that he'll probably arrive around 5PM, and I think at 4PM a plane landed, so we all prepared and hoped it was him. But then someone told us that it was some politician. Anyway we decided to welcome him when we saw who it was (Dragan Marković Palma) and we burst into laughter, you wouldn't understand why if you're not familiar with him. He asked us who are we waiting for so we joked that we're waiting for him, but of course he didn't bought that. Then we told him we're waiting for Enrique and he asked us if we all have tickets which was very kind of him. After that we decided it would be fun to take picture with him and he was very kind to us, and gave us a number so that if we visit his Aqua Park we get everything for free.

But let's get to the most important part of the day. Around 5:30PM Enrique finally arrived. Us and the reporters got very close to the door and waited. I have to say that most of the reporters and paparazzi ended up being very rude which shouldn't really suprise me but it did. Enique almost didn't realize that fans were there, because we couldn't get to him from all the reporters who were trying to interview him, which he didn't really care about. I believe if we weren't there he'd just ignore them all, get in his car and leave. 

Fortunately we all got close to him and took pictures, but sadly we didn't have any time to talk to him. Although it all happened so fast we all got nice impressions of him. I can definitely say he is a very kind and caring guy. He saw how the paparazzi were pushing us so he called us to himself and even pulled some fans to him to take photos. 

When it all ended we couldn't even believe what happened and that we were so lucky, but after all that waiting there was no way that we wouldn't get what we came for. And then we were headed to Kombank Arena where we arrived at 7PM, and waited in the rain again to get in, but even though we came that late we were in the first row.

I already went to Enrique's concert in 2009. so I kind of knew what to expect. It was awesome, and I gotta say he has an amazing band, and all of them together are so energetic and unique! I think one of the coolest parts of the concert was when he brought a guy on stage who sang "Stand by me" with him. It was very funny and entertaining. We were very exhausted but it was all worth it, and we would do it all over again! Maybe to some people it's embarrasing or stupid to do all of this but who cares? :D This is one of the best experiences in my life so I wanted to share it all with you and I really hope you liked this post. :)
