Problem at the West Gate
Posted on 10/12/13 at 7:10 pm

It was hot, very crowded, and very slow. We got at the gate at 2PM and just barely made it inside for kickoff.
When we finally got to the guy scanning the tickets there was still a large crowd behind us and I told the guy "you have got to work faster than this". So, two of the scanners angrily replied "sir, we're working as fast as we can." "No, I don't think so" I said on my turn. I was kinda hot and bothered.
Apparently, they couldn't see the screens in the sunlight on their little handheld scanners and it was taking about 15-30 seconds for them to verify each ticket. Multiply that by thousands of people and you can imagine the problem.
The game was fun, though.

Rex, you're lucky one of those guys didn't punch your arse. They told you they're working as fast as they can. Come on man.

I picture you causing a ruckus at the gate like the French Mistake scene of Blazing Saddles.
COME ON GIRLS

Damn.
I had a trident in my backpack too.
So many deadly, three-pointed, iron killing instruments.
So few IRL encounters with Rex.

Life is so difficult. Use your brain and calculate your en-route time and leave early enough to avoid this terrible hardship. Do you wear a watch?

We left in plenty of time. It's ridiculous that it would take so long to enter the gate.

The game experience is wonderful, but it costs 500% more than it used to. Most of us can't afford it anymore.

When you wait till 30 mins before kickoff to get to the gate :
1. Don't be surprised that there are a lot of people there.
2. Don't get pissy because it takes a while to get in.
3. Hold youself accountable and admit that you should have gotten to the gate sooner to avoid any crowds or delays.

Long story short: you're an a-hole IRL as well as on this board.
Germans as hell.

Exactly, get to your seat much earlier and enjoy a few cocktails you snuck in. It's not that complicated Rex.

Everything will be O.K.. The Republicans did this and Cruz had his techs in from Texas helping,so next week we'll have the veteran Obamacare techs at the gate with some experienced Park Rangers helping, they need more money for their pensions and age 52 retirement. All will be well Rex, under Obama, Right?

It sounds like the only problem at the West gate was Rex.

bullshite. Don't keep customers waiting in line in a hot crowd for 30 minutes. I would have gotten there earlier, and normally do, but I had to wait on my visiting Army nephew, as a matter of fact.
