点评:First off, we got to the venue an hour early so that we could get merch for the first world tour of the K-pop group called StayC. Unbeknownst to us, there was a fast pass. We got out tickets on presale and we did not see a presale for fast pass. So even though there is already a VIP, there is a huge number of people jumping ahead of you in line because of the extra sale of fast pass, which is basically a classist money grub move. So we got there an hour early, VIP line got in early, and then all the fast pass people jumped in front of our spot. It took an additional 30 minutes to get inside. The line did not move for twenty minutes straight after the doors opened.
So to summarize, we got there at 5:30, the doors opened at 6:30 and we weren't in until 7 pm. The show started at 8:00, so we waited another hour for merch inside. Then they cut us off because the show started. Okay, fine. We got in line for merch again 30 minutes before the show ended. We were not the only ones! A huge crowd of people squished into the merch area and it was borderline unsafe due to heat and human compression. At the end of the show they sold like 5 hoodies and then told us to kick rocks.
There was a large amount of boxes full of merch that was unsold. Never in my history of show going have I ever not been able to get my merch. The showbox is classist, only allowing VIP and fast pass ticket holders to get merch, and then not even attempting to sell all the merch they had. Buying merch, especially from a K-pop group such as StayC is not easy online, due to them litteraly being all the way from Korea. The showbox only sold merch to those who were giving them more money. Totally classist, and mismanagement. Will avoid this venue at all costs if possible. Beware of this place being an absolute mess.
翻译:首先,我们提前一小时到达场地,以便获得韩国流行乐队 StayC 首次世界巡演的商品。我们不知道的是,有一个快速通行证。我们在预售时拿到了门票,但没有看到快速通行证的预售。所以虽然已经有VIP了,但是因为快速通行证的额外销售,还是会有大量的人抢在你前面排队,这基本上就是阶级主义的圈钱之举。所以我们提前一个小时到了那里,VIP队伍很早就到了,然后所有的快速通行证的人都跳到了我们的位置前面。又花了30分钟才进去。开门后,队伍连续二十分钟都没有移动。
总而言之,我们5:30到达那里,6:30开门,直到晚上7点我们才进去。演出8:00开始,所以我们又等了一个小时才看到里面的商品。然后他们就打断了我们的通话,因为演出开始了。好的。演出结束前 30 分钟,我们再次排队购买商品。我们不是唯一的!一大群人挤进了商品区,由于高温和人体挤压,这里几乎不安全。演出结束时,他们卖掉了 5 件连帽衫,然后告诉我们要踢石头。
有大量箱子,里面装满了未售出的商品。在我的演出历史上,我从来没有买不到我的商品。展示盒是阶级主义的,只允许 VIP 和快速通行证持有者获得商品,甚至不会试图出售他们拥有的所有商品。在网上购买商品,尤其是从像 StayC 这样的韩国流行乐队那里购买商品并不容易,因为它们几乎都是从韩国远道而来。展示柜只向那些给他们更多钱的人出售商品。完全是阶级主义,而且管理不善。如果可能的话,将不惜一切代价避开这个场地。小心这个地方绝对是一团糟。
