FYF Fest in Los Angeles kicked off today with a new location at LA Sports Arena & Exposition Park, one of the best lineups of the year and a major logistical problem — the epic line to get in. The festival has admitted as much:
We know many of you are still in line trying to get in. Rest assured, scanning and searches are moving as quickly as possible. Thank you

When you get to the fest before any music starts and you are handed your program two hours later, there’s plenty of time to come up with warranted hate-snark to blast on social media. Just check out the comments in response to the above tweet from FYF, and look at some interesting comments and comedy gold below.
Can anyone confirm that you can get inside or is #fyffest just a line?

This line is worse than the U.S Mexico border line. #fyffest @FYFFEST

Local vendors are creating a WHOLE NEW ECONOMY selling things to people waiting in line to get into #fyffest @FYFFEST

Line from hell! People cutting, nobody knows what's going on. Starting to fear I might miss @slowdiveband. @FYFFEST #fyffest #fyffail

#fyffest patrons, plan for a 3.5 hr line at least! Leave now and chances are you'll be in by 8:30

I think we should get 2 free drink ticket for every hour we wait in line. #fyffest @FYFFEST

Ridiculous line. Inefficient and under prepared. We've been here for 2 hours! @FYFFEST #fyffest #fyffest2014

Best concert I've ever heard from a 2 mile line wrapped around all the parking lots. The worst. #fyffest

Theory: the people tweeting from inside the festival are bot tweets by @fyffest workers. There is no festival. #fyffest

I've seen two fights….but still have yet to see the end of the line #fyffest

Just avoided a 3-4 hour line and missing acts at #fyffest by walking to the front and walking in like I owned the place #thelineisalie

Should have brought a board game for the line in #fyffest

The line to get into @FYFFEST is 10 people wide and at least a mile long, stretching down MLK and around Fig. #yowza pic.twitter.com/J3H26SyQIF

Hope someone's taking aerial shot of #fyffest line to get in. Epic!
