A few of my comments about #DayofDays2024 and then we’ll bury it alive. 
1. Peacock had no proper or firm structure in place on how to handle the rows of seating and then keeping track of those in line and directing them off the stage into a new area.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
2. Fans were cutting. Once on stage and through the line they had been waiting for, they jumped directly into another line ON STAGE. I think this gave the illusion to the workers that new people from the seats were coming up. They were not.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
3. In section 1 specifically, everyone who had waited the first time moved forward for session two. We waited through lunch, through the Day Players—this was in addition to waiting already done through the first session. If we moved, we lost our spot.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
4. When Peacock came out with new rules in the second half, they immediately broke them! We couldn’t believe the insanity one worker who immediately took people from the back of the line who hadn’t even been waiting like the rest of us. Some had already been on stage.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
When our disdain of that absolutely bonkers move was very audibly vocalized, that’s when the mood shifted to this idea that we were unreasonably entitled, when in fact, we had been the ones following the rules the entire time.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
5. Some Peacock people appeared to simply not give a [!@#$%^&*] about the event, the fans, or anything going on. I wonder how toxic of a work environment that place must be. Nobody looked happy. 

Nobody had microphones either, so they’d be talking and only 1 row in the front cld hear

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
Nobody came over to truly check in on us. The disdain for us was real. People in Peacock shirts saying they don’t even work there. They had no answers, but they had a ton of mouth.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
Here’s an example: After finally getting on stage at 3:40 pm and getting through the line by 4 something, some fans who had waited in the same seat all day decided to get glimpses of the stars! So we stood from afar and watched people go through the lines on stage.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
One guy told us rudely to clear the stage so they could do the Q&A (they were still signing!). When we explained why we were there and how long we waited he said “IT’S A FREE EVENT” in a tone that insinuated that we expected too much from something we didn’t pay for.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
Well he’s wrong: Everyone PAID to get there. I invested my time and gas and the $40 parking fee. It didn’t cost to get in, but I didn’t [!@#$%^&*] float here on a cloud. Nobody did. We told him he was rude. He repeated it. I really almost didn’t stay for the Q&A and promo.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
At that point, the endless waiting and watching people cheat and cut and then those following the rules not being supported or treated well doesn’t foster the happy feeling the host poked at us for not having.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
6. The host tried to make that shitty situation work. Unfortunately, after hours of waiting, nobody wanted to play his games—they kinda followed the Peacock line of we were ungrateful rude assholes, when we were just sticking up for the right thing and continued to get

He did get boos. Sorry my guy, ur the face/voice of the production. You ask us how we’re doing while being mistreated, you’re getting boos! Nothing personal. Just awful event business. 

But don’t make us feel bad for not being okay with sitting doing nothing for HOURS.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
7. One line of fans somehow managed to COMPLAIN their way from the back of the line to the stage. Someone Walked them through the side to HIDE it from us. We sat and watched people cut and cut, but were the assholes for calling out all the bad moves.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
But the juicy tea here is that it was said by one fan that one of the people associated with Dishin Days was behind sneaking them into the stage before people who had been waiting hours and hours.
 

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
8. Nobody seemed to want to listen to the people in the seats who had been waiting. Why there was confusion when several people explained the situation was WILD. I did stand up and speak out for myself and others. 

When you have ME being loud in public, you’ve really fucked up.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
9. At the end of the day, this was a FAN event. The actors appreciate and understand our dedication to the show, but the Peacock event people don’t—AND THIS IS ONE OF THEIR PEACOCK ORIGINALS!?This is not some random title they’re hosting. Truly embarrassing and disheartening.

Matthew @WhereAreYouBabe
Everything this year felt like it was done begrudgingly, and they turned the fans (the ones following their [!@#$%^&*] rules and paying their Peacock subscriptions!) into the bad guys here.

Sorry, the John Black in me is not buying it. Stefano, get back.

Question from @doolfan777451
Were you able to meet anyone? I feel so sorry for you guys of what happened.

Yes—around 3:40 pm after hours and hours of waiting and skipping lunch, I got to go to station one. But that was it. I asked if we could just get into a line since we had waited both times til the end. They did not allow that.

The actors were great! The staff running the show let us all down.

Damn. This is a shame. Hopefully, everyone involved in putting this together learned their lesson for next year.

And yeah, Tony Moore (the host) can be a little snobby and catty. You can see him act like that on Dishin Days sometimes.

I mean, isn't it held every year? Or were there new organizers? 

[AMCOLTLLover]

Damn those tweets are wild but so accurate. I was right all along. 
I noticed that more and more people got brought up from somewhere no one saw to the stage while the waiting ones got screwed over. I didnt imagined it lol

It was the first time being held inside that theatre. Normally it’s outside but it was too hot last year. But it seemed to work better outside than it did inside lol hell even my boys with winter jackets appearing like Dan (EJ) and Stephen (Steve) yet they are freezing lmao

If someone has already posted the link to this thread, sorry to duplicate. It seems to be by far the worst description of one person's experience yesterday. 

https://x.com/WhereAreYouBabe/status/1853004967839236234

Now, of course, I see that Jane's already got it. 

My only comment is that last year people fell all over themselves complimenting Peacock on doing such a great job & seeming to have so much enthusiasm for it & the massive contact with fans. Now, this year, could not be more different!!! Whoops. Blew that.

A great read. Thanks for sharing your time at the event. 

[AMCOLTLLover]

Some were lucky to get Rob sitting behind them with his girlfriend while the days players were playing their music. That was cute

And it was In the 90s yesterday here. 

Cold front finally on the way Tuesday. We'll be down in the 60s for election day.
