Got it from a guy down there who was walking around and talking to some guys who worked at the venue…

The art is going to be part of a pretty elaborate secruity set up to prevent gate crashing..

Basically there is going to be a facade as seen in the pictures followed by a holding area

From what I was told

They will pat down say 100 people at a time…Have them enter a holding area after physically showing someone their ticket, once there you will give your ticket, get it scanned and enter the venue.

Once the “holding area” is cleared they will allow another group of people through to the holding area and repeat process.

This will allow a buffer I guess and avoid bum rushing and catapaults over the ticket…

The dude my buddy spoke with said that “a few hundred” private secruity people will be there are well…Probably the same company the band used at Festies…

Take it for what its worth…Instead of just having “pens” the band probably thought why not at least make the front entrance into a bit of a piece of art…
