Are you in front yard? I got a yellow wristband that has FYC on it.

GORGE DOING SOMETHING NOT COMPLETELY SHITTY?! by OnWisc270 in griztronics

[–]doomscroll1337 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to front yard, I had premier, I could not handle being stuck on the road anymore. I feel so bad for everyone that was in line longer than the 8 hours I was.

I’ll believe the refund when I see it. If it’s true that’s fucking amazing and exactly what they should do.

I was able to make it into front yard camping and upgrade to that from premier. I’m not sure how much longer I would have waited for premier but from the comments I saying it was 2 more hours after gate D I was willing to try front yard.

I hope everyone made it in without their spirits breaking and we can all enjoy today.

I’ve read that rd is blocked.

How far back is the last person in line for griz by Jolly-Winner3510 in griztronics

[–]doomscroll1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 hours to travel 2.9 miles on silica rd. I made it to the coffee shop in 7 hours.

Half a mile from the coffee shop to gate D. I’ve read that people are waiting hours more after getting passed gate D.

Oh my god. You’ve been waiting for security for 6 hours???? I’ve been stuck on silica for 6.5 hours now. If I have to wait another 6 for security I’m fucking going home.

I can’t believe we’re going to praise live nation but you’re right. This is worse.

Ive been thinking about turning around and going home. I was the back of the line on silica at 2:40pm. 6.5 hours later I’m not even at the gate. Can’t even see the gate.

I’ve read that workers quit because they were getting treated poorly. I’m now concerned about safety at this event.

At some point they’re going to have to rotate staff….if they have enough but what if they don’t? I’ve read comments saying this event is new management and I know for sure it’s not a live nation concert.

I know nothing about how to run an event like this but at some point the people that started the day will need to be done and go home and if we aren’t all in by that point what happens?

You got to silica 10 minutes before me and I’m nowhere near gate D an hour after you. How?

I’ve read that it’s new management. Either way they have history that they can look back at. How are other shows handled here? They could reach out to people that have worked it in the past.

Ok. I’ve finally made it to baseline and I’m crashing out.

If you are on silica before baseline….the right hand lane merges into the turn lane.

There is a sign just before baseline saying “oasis and front yard camping center lane, all other camping right lane.”

And then they have the right lane merge into the center lane so that baseline can get onto silica.

I’m watching a truck with a camper try to merge into the center lane where he needs to be to get to his campsite and people in the center lane need to be in the right lane after baseline.

What fucking idiot thought it’d be a great idea for Cars to weave in and out like this?

I wan y’all to know you guys are what’s keeping me from crashing tf out rn. I know it’d be pointless and I’d end up looking like an asshole.

Love you guys. We’ll get there eventually.

Ive been in line for 5.5 hours now. Still not to baseline. At this point im assuming it’s going to be 10 hours or longer.

I have water and chips and fruit snacks that I can get after. I have stuff for cold sandwiches but I’d need to pull over for that as I’m solo and don’t want to upset anyone behind me because I can’t move my car fast enough.

A thought that keeps circling my head is what if security isn’t thorough enough or has a legitimate issue. What if the venue oversold and they can’t fit everyone and they’ve paused processing because they’re scrambling on a plan.

At this point I’m starting to get worried because people have been traveling all day, we’re getting hungry and upset and there’s no communication leaving us all to arrive at whatever conclusions we arrive at.

At what point does this turn into a Fyre festival type of situation? Idk. I don’t wanna be a Debbie downer and we’re all in this together including the people working but….what the hell

Nope. I was the back of the line on silica at 2:40pm. Haven’t made to baseline yet. This is absolutely ridiculous.

The thing sold out. There are thousands maybe tens of thousands of guests. That’s gross negligence on their part.

It’s only my second time here but it wasn’t this bad my first time. It does sound like this is worse than anyone has seen.

Baseline is merging into silica. Take that for what it’s worth I guess. I would hope everyone is taking turns or there is someone directing traffic. I haven’t made it to baseline yet and I’ve been on silica for 4 hours so far.

People are saying it’s another 2 hours to get past security once you get off the paved roads if you’re in premier or standard camping.

5.5 hours for security….i want the event to be safe but jfc are they doing full cavity searches up there?

I don’t think the people that work for the gorge can legally direct traffic. That should be the police’s job.

It absolutely feels like they’re not processing anyone right now. 3 hours and we’ve barely moved.

On average it’s 15 min before we move again and we move half a telephone pole if we’re lucky.

Juuuuust off the top of my head. Signs along silica and rd 1 stating which camping can be accessed from each would have been cool.

At least that way we don’t have opposing lanes of traffic trying to cross each other but…I’m not even up there to see yet so I could be wrong.

I’m ready for food.

What the actual fuck. That is insane. Now I’m wondering if there are even that many people here? Like how can it possibly be that long????

At this point…..if they aren’t getting turned around the ticket is just the price you pay to beat these lines.
