There were only a limited number of tickets that were sold (The event was sold-out btw), A source told me that there were lot of hopefuls that wanted to join in the event, but just patiently stayed out, there were hundreds of them, I am not sure if they were all catered since limited tickets, I guess there were also walk-ins who got lucky. I don’t blame them, from a far you get to see how exciting it was. At registration you get a free glow stick.
