Did the notice about being able to withdraw cash without an account only pop up on the very last day?
They certainly had enough opportunities to squeeze out some extra profit from us.
I’m telling you, I read the fine print, but most people just don't pay attention to the small details. They should have used Walmart-sized signs at the reload stations and given a heads-up to the staff at the counters. IMHO 😉

If they aren't allowing Kanye West umbrellas inside, fine, but that's if they apply it to everyone. They can't just pick and choose based on who they feel like; it's just like the camera policy—I'm not a journalist, yet I strolled right in with a massive DSLR while my friend was stopped for her tiny point-and-shoot.

Selective enforcement isn't a great look. It's either everyone follows the rules, or no one does.

I wouldn't bother using an umbrella during a concert anyway; I'll need it for the ride home from the venue. Hopefully, we have enough common courtesy to not bother the people around us.🙂

The prices are laughably high; festivals abroad are wild, but people there tend to have higher salaries. I didn't find my money lying on the sidewalk; I work my tail off for every paycheck, so I value every single dollar. We all know what the standard of living is like here in America, so let's not try to sell watered-down Jay-Z for gold prices.

The staff might be polite, but they aren't particularly helpful.

The organization is, as always, absolutely flawless. 🙄

That whole situation with the credit card receipts was basically an attempt to play people for fools. I actually took the time to read through the fine print on the first day, and it explicitly states in tiny lettering that you need to hold onto your receipt if you want a refund. That was it—no other warnings anywhere else. Now, once a group has had a few drinks, they start panicking about where their receipts went, only to realize the next day that if they don't present the original, they’re out of luck. One guy in my group almost... $167 The card was sitting there with zero balance, yet everyone somehow managed to spend themselves into a frenzy trying to drain it—I’m pretty sure that was exactly what the organizers were banking on. By the following day, even though it's the fifth day of the festival, they're acting like we don't all need every single receipt; just one will do. They’re playing the merciful card now, but honestly, if you've lost your receipts, you might as well grab one more round of drinks just to squeeze out a little extra profit for yourself. On the final day, of course, the generous souls in charge announced they'd reimburse everyone regardless of missing paperwork. How noble of them.

The cost of food and drinks has become absolutely ridiculous. $6.00I won't even get started on the food.
A bowl of noodles for about four bucks. A cocktail for five.

They couldn't even provide rain ponchos with the tickets, so now everyone's stuck buying them from scalpers at the venue. What a total disaster.

They actually confiscated my umbrella at the entrance, even though it’s barely four inches wide. It’s hilarious because people are literally stumbling off the pedestrian bridge into the water while intoxicated, yet they think a tiny umbrella is the real security threat. Luckily, the staff wasn't paying much attention, so I just tossed it into the grass and snatched it back the second the attendant turned her head before making my escape.

The staff is completely clueless about their own surroundings. I asked four different people where the press center was located—since it wasn't even marked on the event map—and not a single one of them had an answer, not even the folks at the information desk.

People’s selective outrage and the way they cherry-pick what matters is honestly exhausting. One day they’re obsessing over some high-end Rolling Stone camera gear, and the next, they’re refusing to let a friend hang out with an idiot. It makes no sense.

🙄

Thanks. I’m still curious, though—how is it that we didn't have to pay a single cent for solar power all those years, keeping everything completely clean? 🤷
Either someone around here this year is acting like a total hand cream fanatic, or there's something else going on 😁

I apologize if I’m posting in the wrong section; please feel free to move this thread if necessary, as I wasn't quite sure where this belonged.
I live in a hilly residential area on a very steep street, and we've just been hit by a snowstorm.
This year, the city snowplow didn't make it up our street—though, being hill dwellers, we're used to it and just grab our shovels 😁—but strangely enough, the street is perfectly clear just five houses down from us.
They are located at the top of the hill, while we are at the bottom near the main road.
Essentially, for the plow to reach their property, it has to pass right by ours.
Our neighbors claim the plow actually passed our house but skipped us because we haven't paid for the service, whereas they have.
Now, there are five of them, but I honestly can't recall ever hearing that snow removal is an extra fee, nor have we ever received a bill for it in years past. Could someone clarify this for me so I'm not left in the dark? Is this something included in our standard municipal taxes that I somehow missed, or is there a specific way one "pays" for snow plowing? Am I overlooking something obvious?
Thank you so much.
