Providence Park Security Nearly Finished Scanning Tickets From Saturday’s Post Malone Concert

Over 30,000 fans of pop-country flocked from all over Washington and suburbs of Portland to Providence Park on Saturday night in hopes of enjoying a Post Malone and Jelly Roll concert. The venue and its staff had other ideas. ⁣

With the show slated to start at 6:30pm and doors opening an hour before, the large early-arriving crowds were met with no signage or direction from venue staff and began waiting in an amoeba-like gaggle to enter the venue. The confused and poorly trained venue staff did their best to admit people to the show, but a lack of organization led to huge delays and dangerous bottlenecks. ⁣

“We had some slight hiccups, but I’m proud to report that our highly competent event professionals have almost completed processing all of our ticket-holding guests into the venue,” stated Providence Park Concert Director Jaqueline Portola. “As a special treat, tickets double as a TriMet pass, so attendees who don’t have the patience to wait a third day to enter can take the bus home free of charge.” ⁣

“I love these artists and they attract a crowd of fans that is generally punctual,” said Rosie Bonilla of Tacoma, Washington as she neared the front of the line at 11am on Monday. “So I hope there is still some music once we get in. Maybe Posty will do a quintuple encore or something.”
