This concert, part of Coldplay’s latest global tour, has generated significant buzz, with fans from all over the region flocking to the venue.
‘Chaotic queue management’
A WeirdKaya reader who wished to remain anonymous was present at the scene since 12 pm, however, shared that the organization of the event has been less than ideal.
According to the reader’s account, as the waiting area for standing zone opened at 2pm, many people began to rush in, ignoring the orderly line that had been established by those who had arrived earlier in the day.
This disregard for the queue caused frustration among the fans who had been waiting for hours, expecting an organized entry into the venue.
Litters everywhere
The situation at Bukit Jalil Stadium, already strained by queuing issues for the Coldplay concert, has been further compounded by concerns regarding littering.
Attendees, who have been queueing since the early hours, have reportedly left a significant amount of litter in the queueing areas.
A WeirdKaya reader present at the scene described the surroundings as being strewn with various forms of litter, ranging from food packaging to plastic bottles.
This accumulation of trash not only detracts from the overall experience of concertgoers but also leaves a bad impression to others.
