8PG Events Recap at Sterling Manor - Disappointing Experience 👎

I went to the 8PG event at Sterling Manor here in California expecting an exclusive, sold-out experience, but it felt like a letdown. They’ve pulled this move before when marketing the event as “sold out” only to suddenly have 10+ free tickets available for giveaways at the last minute if you repost their flyer. I wanted to go to the previous event cuz I keep getting their ad on IG but I couldn’t find a babysitter. It’s frustrating, especially since I actually paid for my ticket while others got in for free.

It also felt like some of these brands are added to fill out the flyer because their IG’s had zero history it’s as if they made them a week before the event. That should have been my red flag.

It’s not about the money, I had one night with a babysitter and chose 8PG over the Zalympix event, which, judging by what I’m seeing online, looked way doper. Instead of an immersive experience, the event felt more like a big vendor flea market. Sure, it’s cool to see vendors getting their bread, but I was hoping for more. The highlight (or lowlight) was a guy rolling up a massive key for everyone to smoke from which was funny, just not my vibe. Overall, I left feeling bummed and wishing I had picked Zalympix instead.
