Many bars/club do the same exact thing with their NYE parties.

Everyone knows NYE is a shitshow amateur hour. If you’re going to one of these big gala events expected everything to run perfect and for it to be a underwhelming crowd then you’re foolish.

Even if other attendees act like amateurs, that should not affect the host delivering on promises of reasonable access to food/drink/bathrooms/etc. That's primarily what this is about.

I'm sure they do. But in those cases, attendees at least know who is responsible if they felt their experience was lacking (even if the host does nothing about it). And owners/hosts are more likely to at least listen to complaints because they have a reputation to uphold. And attendees can leave a review on Yelp/Google/etc. In contrast, the hosts of these big NYE parties conceal their identities to avoid accountability.

And you get access to those things at the mass majority of these events. Yes there might be a line but you get access to them and probably easier access if you pay for “VIP”.
