I must say, I bought my ticket ahead of time and waited in the GA line with people coming from all up and down the east coast. What REALLY threw me off was when a guy from STEEZ PROMO, who claimed he, “ran shit here,” started at the beginning of the line selling a roll of little paper tickets, like the kind you would get at a carnival or an arcade for winning ski ball. He assured people that they were legit and would get them in, which they were/did, but he charged $40, a $10 dollar mark up from what I paid one day in advance. (I do realize they may have been $40 at the door, but it seems steep.) So what urks me about this is that I have friends who were further back in line who had ALSO bought their tickets in advance, and were never even allowed in because the place had reached/surpassed capacity. What the hell? Why are you pulling tickets out of your ass and selling them overpriced to people in line when you don’t even know how many “spaces” you have left in the club for those who already purchased tickets? Seems like SLEEZ PROMO was tryna make some cash because they KNEW that the place wasn’t going to last for another two hours ( I got in the club around midnight), or they just had no idea what was going on due to disorganization and unprofessionalism. Its a damn shame that it worked out this way. If it was an honest mistake, then they sure as hell better pull threw with this makeup party on Jan 17th.
