The Neon Lights Tour!!! Demi Lovato (Meeting Fifth Harmony) Columbus, OH

This was an AMAZING concert! The girls were AMAZING!!! We had meet/greet tickets for Fifth Harmony…..AND while we were at the concert, my daughter won a meet/greet contest….so, she had 2 experiences with the girls!!! Oh my stars, she was so happy!  This time we drove to O’Hare airport as we were able to get tickets via http://www.fly.com at a reasonable price. We flew from O’Hare to Port Columbus airport, I absolutely love CMH airport, small and easy to navigate. We stayed 2 (two) nights at the Hilton Columbus downtown (http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/ohio/hilton-columbus-downtown-CMHDWHH/index.html). We selected this hotel as it was walking distance to the venue & it had a pool :).  The Nationwide arena is centrally located to various restaurants.

The opening acts were Fifth Harmony and Cher Lloyd.  Of course, Fifth Harmony was amazing.  However, we did miss the majority of Cher due my daughter winning the Clean and Clear meet and greet.  Lastly, Demi came on stage like a lightening bolt.  She did not have the frills of back-up dancers and such, she didn’t need it….a true performer!!!!!

One major concern, you had to have a concert ticket in addition to having a VIP meet and greet with Fifth Harmony.  Consequently, with our meeting time being 2:45PM (they scanned the concert ticket at that time with no re-entry to the arena), it made for a longgggggg day!  Mind you, my daughter is 6, dead phone, and hunger creeping in.
