He says that there was a long queue for those who had not exchanged their ticket for a wristband before the festival started. – As we recommended doing in advance, says the PR manager. He claims that the queue came in a short time, because many festival participants turned up at the same time. – There was no queue when we opened today, but it is about everyone coming at the same time, he says.
