April 2025Sadly I wasted 40 euro's on this disaster in the true sense of the word. The crowd basically consisted for the majority of alcoholics and the delusional security guards at the entrance thought they were placed at a kindergarten. There was no queue, no waiting people and the fence went all around the corner so we walked around the corner and where the fence ended around the fence into the lane exactly as we're supposed to, but when we were almost at the ID check (just walking cause no one was waiting) apparently a random person we didn't know behind us climbed over the fence (not even skipping the queue because there was no one). The security person who was undoubtedly itching to show everyone who was boss, seriously opened the fence and commanded us that we take another walk around the fence because of our 'friend' that we didn't know. The security bloke must have been under the impression that he was being perceived as powerful and fierce, since he was completely unaware of the extent to which he was making a fool of himself. It was a very interesting experience, I never knew that you don't have to finish elementary school to become a security guard.
