Shenzhen Cultural Fair: I Don't Even Know Where to Start. #WTF
-
It was tough for regular attendees. We just wanted to get a stamp, that's all.

I'm truly speechless...

So, don't you think this is the organizer's fault? Right from when ticket sales began, they used 'Shi Ge Qintian' (note: it's 'Shi Ge Qintian,' not 'Shiyue Qingtian') to draw people in. Naturally, the fans came expecting them. But then, the organizers failed to manage crowd control properly. They were even still using them to boost ticket sales on the very morning of the event! Countless marketing accounts were hyping it up. If there hadn't been so much promotion, far fewer people would have attended.

That's odd. I was also at Hall 15 yesterday afternoon and could come and go freely.

As a long-time fan of the Cultural Expo and someone who spends a fair bit there every year, I'd actually suggest they don't need to invite celebrities. Today's fans can be a bit much. We just want to browse, look around, and buy local specialties and cultural products; we really don't care about the celebrities. Besides, I didn't even know any celebrities were scheduled to appear before I went. My big takeaway this time is how much our domestic provinces' economies are flourishing – their local offerings are increasingly worth seeing and truly distinctive. I barely glanced at the international sections, or even Taiwan and Macau. For me, the real 'top draw' of the day was the Digital Dunhuang exhibit.

The organizers were probably acting out of safety concerns. It's understandable.
-
It was likely for safety reasons. Totally understandable.
-
It was probably a temporary measure; people could get in later on.
-
It's tough for everyone. They restricted access for safety reasons, so we could only check out the other halls. Celebrities are nice to look at, but safety is more important.

When it's packed with fans, closing the venue is indeed the better option. This kind of situation should qualify for a refund, right?
