When is a queue not a queue?

[bexj]

Just announced on the official website, access to Shangri-la after 10pm will be through Bellas Field near the cabaret tent...and it says to take notice of the Sequential Access Management System, which apparently is not a queue.

Go figure?

[Bisque]

You'll be far too fucked by that time to call it a sequential access management system.

Queues a queue but not a cue.

[johntrfc]

your not 'queuing' to get in your 'waiting for space to become available'

[snipe]

This system sounds unfair against Samuels and Samanthas.

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

This conjours up images of these in my head!

[posthuman]

That's been on the maps since they were published. No big deal, here's hoping Arcadia and the Dance Village will be sufficient to divert a few people away from the SE Corner.

didnt see this lol

[Keef]

There are very clearly marked 'entry' and 'exit' points so I reckon this is just going to be a fancy one-out-one-in system, just like the bouncer on your local bar or club with his little clicker counter thing.

Sequential Access Management is a great name for a band.

Still a euphemism for a queue though...

[lucyginger]

Yes miss pie! Lets start a band!

Ooooo, a shiny new Sequential Access Management System eh ? That sounds nice (although I'm not sure if it's actually Geek Speak or Marketing BS ) but either way if it means there ISN'T a queue then it's gotta be good and all that ! Hmmmm, maybe they will even have a similar Sequential Access Management System at the gates on Wednesday as well so there won't be any queue there either

it's a knockout

if looks could kill, they probably will

with great website news, Glasto without queues

... and don't be snogging those baboons while you're queuing your Access is being Sequentially Managed either cos it's way to pervy even for the naughty corner

This year arcadia moving may well take a lot of heat off the south east part of the site also they are trying to make the dance area more interesting, I just hope they dont drive away all the crowds as I will have nothing to do, but hopefully any delay getting in will not be that long .

Apart from making the whole south east area of the site bigger I'm not sure what else they could do ?

Its the opposite of queueing for the tube after a game at Wembley, where the police kindly announce that your are in a queue. There are a load of people in front of me and behind me, I think I can work out for myself that I am in a queue.

[rachbon]

Is it just the same as 2011 then?

As others have said, hopefully Arcadia's new location will take some of the crowd away from the SE corner. I can't see it being too bad for queues.

Really this sort of access is only there because the area is so popular if you didnt have it at times it could be dangerous, if the crowds go somewhere else, I imagine we would have more open access,

Im working in this area and part of my job will be wandering round and seeing how crowded things are so I'm pretty interested in whether people will not bother coming in and stay in silver hayes or arcadia, the traffic on the railway line between the se and arcadia will also be interesting
