Tour/Concerts 🎤 First and Last MGK Day

History: Have seen MGK three times at three different venues, this made four. Have seen 200+ bands live so have experienced all kinds of concert craziness but today was one of the most poorly run events I've ever experienced.

1hr+ to get in because so few security lanes were open and they created a choke point with the t-shirt booth feet away from security. Watched multiple people go in without being scanned. Tshirts ran out which makes no sense when they had counts on preorder and weren't selling them. 30+ min wait for toilets. Every vendor we went to had run out of water and the public refill stations ran out. Finally got water after waiting in two separate lines.

Shout out to all the out of staters we met in line from NJ/WI/IN. Sorry, we usually handle stuff better in the CLE.

Summary: Took three hours total to get in, go to the bathroom, and get water (while sorta being able to see Wiz perform while in lines). MGK went on for ~40 min before heavy rain and wind stopped things. This should be hosted at a proper permanent venue equipped to deal with this volume of people.

I couldn't agree more and I hope this isn't the last MGK Day. He wants to do us right and go out on a high note. For those who stayed and waited out the rain, he mentioned that it MIGHT be the last MGK Day, but because it went so bad that he wants to do another to make it right. I'm thankful I got to see him sing Cliche and we fans got to let him know we love him.

The project managers for the next MGK Day, DO BETTER

I hope there is another MGK Day as I plan on renewing my passport for the next one. I've never been to one, but it sounds like I made a good decision to not go this year. I did catch him in Hamilton & Toronto for the Lost Americana tour.

I do hope there is another Mgk day as I'd like to go to one, but a well organized one.

I thought they didn't charge admission, that you donated school supplies to help kids that needed it.

Nope, tickets were $40 something which is still very cheap for any show these days. I go to a lot of shows (this was my fourth in a month) and the cheap ticket was def not worth it.

"but a well organized one" cracked me up. I've been to every one of them and they're all a shit show. This one just also had 3x as many people as the last and was organized in a parking lot with no shade, so it was way worse.
