Even from the cheap seats! Experience of a lifetime.

Warning - Actually getting in there is quite an ordeal. They have gone to great lengths to prevent scalping. On the day of, first, you queue before 1pm to get a number. We were there at 12:15 and we got 50&51 after they verified us with our passports and we also got forms to register which we filled out and returned. Every attendee must be there in person. Then we came back at 4:30 and queued up again this time to get a pink slip - and again every person is validated. So by 5:00, all 150 attendees with their pink slips end up in a mob around the ticket doors and finally you go in numeric order to buy your tickets, but after your pink slip is checked along with the forms. An extremely manual process and very tedious. And of course, finally you get to buy your tickets - the cashier actually enters info off your form. And do you know what is unbelievable - the 4 or 5 people who are doing all of these procedures are all elderly! There is a lot of yelling (to be heard) and dealing with a lot of stressed out wannabe customers.
