I was there and it’s all true. I slept outside the venue at night to get barricades. People were just so rude. Someone even tried to pull me off the barricate to take my spot by hitting me but luckily the security saw this. Incredible.
Paris crowd sucked, I just saw rude and violent people.

I really hope Green Day will not perform at this venue again honestly. I didn’t have standing for this one and the organisation still was horrendous. There were hundreds of people still outside while Weezer started playing. I missed about half of Weezer’s set because of them!
I did hear about the queue for the standing area being also disorganised by staff. I know this is a new venue, but surely by this point they should know people queue early to secure a good spot and to respect the queue.

i have a completely different impression about this venue/this evening i showed up a bit later than entry time (paris traffic suuuuucks), but even with many people already waiting to get inside it took me about 15min max to get in, easy i had standing tickets, the venue was overwhelming huge, sound was on spot, people were moshing, you could easily go out and in if you need a break, beer was easy to get, probably one of the better shows i have experienced in a while .. I was alone in the standing area because my gf got a seating place, but i meet many friendly people from france and other parts of the world at this evening, i feel sorry for you guys if you made bad experiences, i know frensh people can be rude(?) ignorant(?)

If I remember correctly they let the people who had standing tickets get in first, that might be why you didn't get to wait long to get in. We had issues with security who kept on giving us conflicting info about where we needed to enter the venue (there was weird color coding to label the different entry points) and had to make people in our area wait about 1h to get in because they didn't have anyone to scan tickets I believe. I have nothing to say about the venue once inside though, soundstage is great, the facilities were very good as well. I didn't have to queue for ages to go to the toilets which was very much appreciated haha I am from France, and yeah unfortunately people (especially in Paris) can be quite unpleasant haha
