Fans Line Up (and Camp Out) 4 Days Before Eclipse Premiere

If you're in downtown LA over the next few days, don't be alarmed at what appears to be a mass epidemic of homeless, swooning youth. That new tent city outside Nokia Plaza is Twihard central for this Thursday's premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Team Edward and Team Jacob camps began lining up early this morning for wristbands that will determine their positions in the fan viewing area during the red carpet event.

Combined with today's Lakers parade, that's a lot of fan frenzy to control. In an effort to moderate the crowds, Summit Entertainment issued a set of camping guidelines on its "premiere info" website. (You read that right: There's a website dedicated to the movie's premiere.)

Eclipse Premiere - Fan Line and Camping Rules & Regulations

TWILIGHT Fans are allowed to begin lining up at NOKIA PLAZA L.A. LIVE no earlier than 6:00 am on Monday, June 21, 2010.

Overnight camping is allowed in designated areas only, starting in the Nokia Plaza. Please follow all directions advised by L.A. LIVE and Summit security. Please note, that special wristbands will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and each fan must be present to receive a wristband. Each wristband will be numbered and reserves a space in the Fan Viewing areas for the Eclipse Red-Carpet arrivals in sequential order. The wristbands DO NOT enable access to the Movie Premiere.

Fans will be asked to change location as Premiere set-up begins on the Nokia Plaza on Wednesday morning June 23rd at 6:00am.

PARTIAL LIST OF RULES AND CODES OF CONDUCT:

• ONLY Standard Sized Pop Tents will be allowed (4'x4' [16 sq. ft.] or less. No oversized tents, staked tents, etc., due to limited space)

WRIST BAND DETAILS AND EVENT DAY LINE UP TIMES

Twilight fans will be given wristbands starting at 6:00am on Monday, June 21, 2010. Wristbands MUST be worn until the premiere is over. Any wristband that has been tampered with or removed will NOT be considered valid. Any fan arriving without wearing the original wristband they were provided will not be allowed into the viewing area. There will be periodic spot checks through June 24, the day of the event. On event day, fans will begin lining up in sequential order based on their wristband number.

2:00 PM: Wristband #4700-5000
2:30 PM: Wristband #5001-5300
3:00 PM: Wristband #5301-5600
3:30 PM: Wristband #5601<

If we've read that correctly, there are around 1,000 wristbands up for grabs. Meaning, they were probably all claimed well before noon. We sure hope the campers brought something to read...
