Martime Festival
Having visited the Maritime Festival,it is clear Qatar has a long way to go to learn about event management.
The shambolic stampede to get tickets to watch a couple of seals in a small pool was a sight to behold!
It is obvious that a free event like this will attract lots of people so either charge for entry or make the facility big enough to cope with the number of people who are attending.
It was the same at the circus in Souq Waquif last year,and we all know about the fiasco with the Asian Cup Final.
I was there queueing for almost an hour around just 3 meters away from the staff distributing the ticket. When they started giving, less than a minute they told us that there are no tickets available. It was chaotic and disorganize even though the event started few days ago.
do you mean to say that there were spectators for this event.. which means that the festival was a huge spectacular awesome success..
