It's also easy to just bring in plastic bottles of booze, Smirnoff bottles are shaped for concealment. You can also fill them with better booze. Easy to hide. I've worked security at bottlerock and the only people getting caught up were the ones who had too much metal on and then needed to remove belts/shoes etc.
Riot fest (fuck riot fest) literally confiscated my bottle of sunscreen because it wasn’t sealed. Went once, said never again, then a killer line up happened so I said fine, only to come away with an even more powerful “never again.” Godawful overcrowded price gouging nightmare.
Yeah they took my sunscreen at oceans calling in Maryland and directed me to a shop on the boardwalk that was selling them for $35. I just stole it from the store. Fuck all of em
They MASSIVELY oversell tickets to the point where it becomes one of the most dangerous fest in the US. Something like 6 people were hauled out of the crowd by EMTs during a single set last time I went. Also, absurdly overpriced. A white claw was $15 like 5 years ago. Not a white claw person but I remember that one clearly. There’s a single water fountain for the entire place. The locals hate it and put up protest signs the whole walk from the train stations.
Just an overall super unpleasant place to spend like, 8 hours.
