‘Civil War’ between Billie Eilish fans for the organization of tails in their concerts

The concerts of Billie Eilish In the Palau Sant Jordi last Saturday and Sunday they made the public vibrate with their naturalness and emotion by giving a show of great visual impact and an electric environment from beginning to end. However, the organization of the event, especially with regard to accesses, caused a lot of controversy among the artist’s fans, some of which formed a tail from a week before the day of the concert.

It is so much the fury for the 23 -year -old artist that on June 7 a group of girls went to Palau with the purpose of keeping their place in the tail and ensuring a place of privilege on stage. Given the great expectation created, the official account of the fans of Billie Eillish Spain He informed the fans that a system was going to be organized by which numbers were going to be granted that would give the right to keep a place in the tail, but without having to camp all week in front of the Palau.

The decision caused a strong discussion among fans through social networks, where many young people complained about How unfair it was for those who do not live in Barcelona And they had to travel the same day of the concert not being able to access the cast of numbers and therefore a good place during the show.

“What bothers me the most is that they let a group of girls organize how to proceed with the theme of the row and Live Nation or the Palau say anything about it,” complained a young woman through Tiktok. “I am not even going and it seems completely illogical that organize in this way,” said another.

The conflict came to such an extent that on the 8th, a group of fans contrary to the shift system went directly to the Palau to complain and give voice to the victims: the ‘civil war’ between the fans became visible. As a consequence of the controversy, Billie Eilish Spain’s account released another statement by saying that a traditional concert day was going to be followed, remembering that The City Council is prohibited camping in the enclosure. «We could also have silent and dumb the last. What we are not going to tolerate are the faults of respect and constant threats that we have been receiving. We say that at all times our intention has been to inform and try to do everything as organized as possible, ”they exposed on their X Billie Eilish Spain page.

Upon the day of the first concert, on Saturday at 10.00 in the morning there was already a row that turned all over the Palau and despite the fact that it was prohibited, many people camped, although without anyone coming to throw them out. Throughout the row there were food and drink carts and large groups were formed that welcomed those who were alone: Despite the suffocating heat, the tail itself was a party.

The confusion, however, soon arrived. When a few hours were missing for the concert, a second row was created that was nourished with newly arrived people, before the stupor of those who had been forming the first tail hours. No one was right to discern what the ‘official’ row was and Palau’s staff never made an effort to clarify it. “People arrived, got off the bus and put themselves in the second row without any consideration,” explains a fan that came from Terrassa a few days before to settle at a friend who lives nearby.

«The organization of the Palau for great concerts leaves much to be desired. It was horrible, ”adds the same fan, to which his voice adds another follower of Eilish, who denounces the lack of organization once the Palau was accessed, where the itineraries were not clear to access the first row, the ‘Barricade’as the fans call it.

Logistic and coil problems on the margin, the view of the American left a great mouth flavor among the followers, which 18,000 tickets sold out who were put on sale for the two concerts of El Palau Sant Jordi, the only two ‘shows’ in Spain.
