Review of Super Sonix 16+ Halloween Special
My friends and I had an incredibly bad and disappointing experience at the Super Sonix event on October 31st in Wolverhampton. We started to queue up and after a 10 minute wait in line, a security guard took my friend's water, wrongly accused her of underage drinking, and forced her to leave immediately, grabbing on her arm. When we questioned his actions, he shouted at her to exit the queue, prompting us all to leave with her.
Later, as we rejoined the line, the same guard informed another staff member that my friend and now I (we are mixed race) were not allowed entry, while our two white friends were let in without issue. This felt incredibly unfair, especially since we saw many white girls and boys drinking without being questioned.
Our white friends spoke to the guard and asked why me and my friend weren't allowed in and he told them he will speak to us in a minute. Our friends called us over to relay what the guard had said, but he saw us talking and then accused me and my mixed-race friend of trying to "sneak in." We were just conversing with our friends on the other side of the barrier, and we had already had our tick*ts scanned, so there was no way we could have been sneaking in. Ultimately, we were all kicked out of the line and told to go home. We were furious after spending £30 on tick*ts and £20 on a train, only to be denied entry. Another security guard asked if we were under 18 and whether we had a way to get home. Since we were all under 18 and couldn't catch the train for a few hours, she spoke to the main guard ( the one who kicked all of us out the queue), who simply told her not to let us in.
After standing outside for an hour, we tried to rejoin the queue and after another 10 minutes, faced the same guard who once again told us to leave. Eventually, after speaking to him, we were finally allowed in.
This experience highlighted some serious issues: the apparent racism of the security staff, their aggressive handling of the situation, physically touching and pushing teenagers and the overall poor management of the event. We left feeling cheated and frustrated, having wasted our time and money. My friends and I will not return to this event again.
