Rave?

That's not even counting the matter of grabbing food in between.

Yes, it was an inconvenience last year. It might be quicker if they offer 254 and 148 shirts to the 1st people to make it to the other area?

The 2014 party was brilliant. I must have missed the rave though. Too busy eating the free food no doubt. Last year was a huge disappointment after 2014.

I think at that point it becomes a danger. I nearly broke my arm during the finals scrambling to get to my seat before the final Einstein match began (I fell over a full row of seating, landing on my forarm on top of a chair two rows down from my seat). If you offer such coveted prizes I wouldn't be surprised if people actually did break bones falling in their rush to get to the other side.

Cool idea, but I like the suggestion of them announcing chairman's from the Einstein field and then having the music going while people move better from a safety perspective. Those chairs are quite solid and hurt a fair amount when you land on them wrong.
