The Bieber Touch - Pollstar News

You have to hand it to Justin Bieber. When the singer invites his fans to visit his orbit, as he did with his debut My World and its follow up My World 2.0, he takes it seriously. In addition to connecting with fans all the usual 21st century ways – like his fanclub (BieberFever.com) and Twitter – he’s also taking one of them on a trip to The Bahamas.

Has the screaming stopped? Good. Gabriela Schwartz, senior director of marketing for Bieber’s label Island Def Jam Music Group, gave me the inside scoop on all the details of Justin’s “Golden Ticket 2.0” contest. And it’s a sweet one.

So here’s the deal: The first 1 million physical copies of My World 2.0 contain an insert with a unique code. Enter the code at JustinBieberMusic.com/GoldenTicket2 and you and three people of your choice (that’s right, you don’t have to take your annoying little brother!) could be basking in the sun at The Atlantis Resort in June.

While you’re there, you’ll get the full JBIP treatment, snazzy accommodations, awesome tropical grub, sweet Bieber swag and special activities selected just for you (including things like swimming with dolphins!). Plus you’ll be sitting pretty for a sneak peek at Justin’s summer tour on June 12.

This could be your ticket to an island paradise.

If you don’t score the grand prize, there’s still plenty of killer stuff for the poor, unfortunate “runners up.” Lucky dogs.

Second prize is the opportunity to appear alongside JB in a video for one of his upcoming singles. Just think. You could be discovered and become the next Justin!

Third prize is a VIP package for a show on the “My World” Tour, which kicks off June 23 in Hartford, Conn.

Even the winner of the lowly fourth prize (who wouldn’t even make it onto the winners platforms in the Olympics) comes out of this deal on top. They’ll be the proud owner of an autographed Justin Bieber guitar!

The lucky fan who lands the fifth place prize might need extra security: a package will be arriving at their door in the near future containing the very latest in must-have JB gear.

And that brings us to what, in some contests, might be considered the “consolation prize.” But JB doesn’t roll like that. So the sixth prize winner – wait, did I say winner? What I meant to say was all 10, count ‘em, 10 sixth place winners will score a Nintendo Wii console. How awesome is that?

Are you still sitting there? Why?Justin and this fabulous haul of goodies are waiting!

And you have a head start. See how much we love you?

No purchase necessary. For complete rules and details about the contest and prizes, look online at JustinBieberMusic.com/GoldenTicket2 or see the back of a Golden Ticket from inside My World 2.0.

(Author’s note: I’m really glad to see that Justin has such loyal fans who love him so much. But everyone here at Pollstar is a little concerned about the number of fans posting their emails – or even worse, phone numbers. This is a very dangerous thing to do, especially considering the fact that many of you are young people.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH JUSTIN BIEBER’S GOLDEN TICKET 2.0 CONTEST IN ANY WAY. WE JUST WROTE A STORY ABOUT IT.

While I can hope Justin reads our site, I can’t guarantee that he’ll ever see your comments or pleas for tickets.

If you want to enter the contest, you must either buy a copy of My World 2.0 or visit JustinBieberMusic.com/GoldenTicket2. Those are the ONLY ways to get in on this contest. Leaving an email address in the comments on this story or on the photo of the golden ticket will not get you anything.)
