Phantom56 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 DCI did screw up, but actually it was mainly the fans fault for the long lines. Not having their bar code open before they reached the entrance, (really?), and the majority of people foolishily brought bags with them. Why?? My group of five knew enough not to bring a bag or purse, and we simply walked around the long line to the entrance line without bags. We were inside in five minutes. People seem to have lost all common sense today. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought a small clear bag with my pill case. glasses, and phone. It took a miilisecond for them to look at my bag. We had our tickets up on our phone, too. Try to be a little more smug and sanctimonious, why don’t you? And why should I feel bad for bringing a small plastic bag with essential items I NEED when the lanyard people have giant backpacks with God only knows what in them.

We’re they all along one side, or on two sides? were attendees smart enough to walk to the shorter lines? I use to work for events in a big arena and stadium for part time work during college and depending on the event not all gates will be open. I worked at a sold out Madonna concert and of course the arena was fully staffed and all gate were open. I also worked at a high school football state playoff final at a major stadium and the crowd was around a third of capacity..probably the same as a DCI Champion event and not all entrances were open being that it wasn't a sell out.

If not, that's a substantial safety issue. Edited August 17, 2022 by C.Holland 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s ridiculous. when you buy a ticket, there's usually gate info on it. Example. Barclay's Center (Brooklyn Nets) on their tickets have "Entry: (street name) or (avenue name) Section (##)" There's also an email sent 1-5 days out reminding attendees of entrance policies, gate info, changes from regular operations. If this is missing... woof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
