It's missing Louis hours

Vienna 11/04/22

can't believe it has already been a week since I saw Louis and met @faithinlouisfuture and @fearlesspuff

are you ok though? like not hurt or anything? my friend's back was bruised because of all the pushing :(

Hiiii! Thank you so much for asking and sorry for the late reply, I’m okay thankfully (other than the aches and pains of not being a teenager and being in line and sitting on the side walk under the scorching sun for 12 hours and then standing in the crowd for the show to start for 4 hours). So a total of 16 hours of torturous wait!

I wanted to answer your ask to talk about the situation there, even though I’m pretty sure most people are already aware of it, and have seen all the horror stories on twitter. The organization of the concert (which Louis and team had NOTHING to do with) was one of the worst experiences of my concert going life. Of my life in general too I think. The organizers had ZERO concern for fans safety and well being. They told us they’d open the gates at 1 pm to let us form organized/civilized waiting lines in a snake barricade in parking lots on either side of the park but they didn’t do any such thing. There were two fan-made queues that led to the two sides of the entrance which then formed the entire crowd (separated by that runway barricade). One of the lines was absolute pandemonium throughout the 12 hours of waiting, and the other was thankfully a lot more organized with us sitting in twos on the literal pavement next to a very busy road. But at least we were sitting and that too in a very calm manner. Thank God my fellow solos and I chose to be on the more organized side. Can’t even imagine how the other side people survived!

Once they did open the gates at around 5/5:30 pm I cannot even put into words the kind of insanity that took place. There was no order, there was only survival of the fittest! People were pushed shoved attacked scratched I can’t even explain, I lost my jacket during the entrance part (but thankfully recovered it after the show from the lost and found of the venue - which the organisers had nothing to do with btw, the venue was simply rented by them for the concert). Cannot thank V and Max enough for being there with me during THAT madness. Max got separated from us right before the gates opened, V and I linked arms and entered together but then we also got separated when they were checking our ticket codes. I then found both again later on in the pit though lol, ended up being one person away from Max in the pit thank God.

Here’s a video of how packed like sardines we were in the crowd, constantly being pushed forward by the people in the back, and backwards by the people in the front. Loads of fights broke out in the crowd. There was an actual fist fight between two girls very very close to me too (directioners) 🙄 The thing is though, the literal second that Louis walked out on stage none of it mattered any more on a personal level! But that is not to say that the organizers shouldn’t somehow be held accountable for the way they handled it all, I hope that Louis’ team sees all the horror stories on twitter and doesn’t engage these people again for future tours, because they don’t deserve it. Just because most of us would undergo that sort of torture for Louis doesn’t mean it’s right, and that action shouldn’t be taken against the people that were supposed to be responsible for the safe management of the entire show.

hi love
