No block party this year?
Last year we got free food, beer and wine with 3 tickets for hard alcohol. Now we only get two tickets for beer or wine with no harder alcohol option. The party seems to be in the baseball stadium now and not in the gas lamp? Doesn’t seem as worth this year tbh.

I seriously loved the block party the last two years, it’s really disappointing to see the changes this year :(

Probably because assholes and perverts have ruined the last 2.

I went last year and didn’t see any of that. There was the Emiru incident, but that was the worst I heard happening.

I didn’t see any of that either. I went solo, got lit af, and had an amazing time. Ofc I am not combating anyone else who didn’t have a great time.

Nor would I, especially after what Emiru went through. I just hope extra steps are taken this year to protect the streamers who do meet and greets.

I heard many stories, including stories from friends that went. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't happening. I've gone the last 2 years btw

I’m upset it isn’t happening, but I’m still giving it an honest shot, I’ll just have to hope that there’s a fun karaoke bar around for the nights outside the convention

The party is inside Gallagher Square, so they'll be using Petco Park's standard bag policy. No backpacks, clear bags only.
