The hottest ticket in Hollywood is 2,500 miles … in Fairfax County, Virginia. It’s bigger than the Oscars. Bigger than a Grammy. Bigger than Amy. This is Depp vs. Hurd.
It was a madhouse in the courthouse … when the trial first began, fans began to line up around 5 a.m. in front of the building – but now it’s off the rails with Amber in the stands.
Fans began queuing at 10pm on Sunday to start at 9am on Monday … just to see Amber … which prompted the sheriff to post a sign the next day that read: “Restore the queue for Johnny Depp and Amber Viewers are not allowed to walk or camp at the Courthouse before 1 a.m. on hearing cases. “
As for the on-site determination process, we were told that court clerks have about 100 wristbands to distribute – on a first-come, first-served basis – for the main courtroom and an additional 100-150 wristbands for the overflow room. . and still dozens of fans have been rejected.
Our sources say that there were screaming matches when people broke the line. And take that … there’s even a black market with people offering money for wrists.

The crowd is almost entirely Depp’s supporters … he receives a heroic welcome almost every day when he arrives. It’s safe to say, even if the process doesn’t go his way – he will still have many fans to show his support.
