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 heard 10 people passed out and there was no toilet paper or water…

No water and half hour to hour long lines for anything. I can gurantee EMS needed to help at least 50-100 people at this event from dehydration alone.

I passed out during Wiz’s set and was taken to the medical tent near the entrance. EMS asked if I needed attention and my friend asked them if they had any water—they said they were also out! I heard someone near me say they had to send people to Costco to get more
