I
came
to
Warsaw
to
ul.
Tamka
43
especially
much
earlier
and
I
stood
in
a
30-person
queue
in
the
cold
to
buy
tickets
for
an
additional
concert
of
the
winner
of
the
18th
International
Piano
Competition.
Fryderyk
Chopin
-
Bruce
Liu.
Tickets
were
also
to
be
sold
online,
but
from
12:00.
The
Institute's
box
office
opened
at
11:00,
so
for
those
who
showed
up
persistently,
there
was
a
great
chance
to
buy
tickets
for
their
dream
concert.
It
is
known
that
buying
tickets
online
for
a
crowded
concert
is
a
lottery.
At
11:00
we
were
allowed
inside
where
the
cash
registers
are
and
we
all
stood
and
waited
for
the
sales
to
start.
When
I
asked
the
young
cashier
why
tickets
were
not
sold,
I
heard
the
answer
that
sales
start
at
12:00!
I
said
then
that
a
lot
of
people
standing
in
line
had
no
chance
to
buy
tickets.
The
young
man
confirmed
that
I
was
right
and
he
knows
that
tickets
sold
simultaneously
at
the
same
time
on
the
Internet
will
sell
out
in
a
few
minutes,
but
he
has
no
influence
on
it
because
it
depends
on
"the
top".
I
asked
him
to
call
the
management
and
start
the
sale
earlier,
but
he
said
he
wouldn't.
will
do.
The
young
cashier
also
did
not
provide
me
with
the
telephone
number
of
the
people
responsible
for
this.
The
sale
started
just
before
12:00
and,
as
I
expected,
the
tickets
sold
simultaneously
online
ended
after
7
minutes,
even
though
there
were
over
several
hundred
of
them.
The
second
half
of
the
queue
left
unscathed
despite
waiting
for
over
an
hour
and
a
half,
first
in
the
cold
and
then
crowding
in
front
of
the
cash
registers.
To
put
it
mildly,
I
felt
like
a
balloon.
Especially
since
older
people
who
came
specifically
to
buy
tickets
directly
at
the
box
office
were
ignored
because
not
everyone
has
fast
internet
and
a
knack
for
surfing.
Thus,
a
large
part
of
the
people
who
came
were
ignored.
To
be
clear,
my
one
star
does
not
apply
to
the
exhibition
at
the
Institute.
It's
about
disregarding
the
time
and
sacrifice
of
people
like
me
who
have
been
left
to
the
wind.
