Tiki Disco

Seriously love tiki disco, but bought a ticket a week ago to the boat event tonight; upon arriving at 635, we waited inline until 805 when we were turned away — they had reached capacity. We had already bought tickets, mind you, but they had given people who didn’t have tickets a spot BEFORE THE PEOPLE WHO HAD PRE PURCHASED! This event was so disorganized as a whole. No one knew what was going on. It was a zoo. The people working the event knew even less as the boat took off. Such a dissapointment and waste of my time.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had in 10 years of living in NYC. This was billed as a free event and had so much potential. A huge line of patient, cooperative people were told the venue was at capacity and waited for HOURS to get in. However, the entire time we were standing there, make believe VIPs steadily drifted past the line and were admitted with handshakes and backslaps. This was a potentially great party that was mismanaged in the worst way. I finally came to my senses after asking a woman holding wristbands if there was any point in continuing to wait in the «regular» line. She rolled her eyes at me and acted confused about what I was asking while waving in a friend of hers that was just arriving.
I understand that at any venue there will be people with connections, a list, friends of DJ’s etc, but lying to the people that are patiently waiting and not letting ANY of them in for over 30 minutes at a time is foolish and unnecessary.
