The organizers must be barking with courage
Hungry Entry Control.- They have just approved a law that allows entry to the concerts with food and drinks… only that happened in Peru, don’t get too excited.
If there is something that bothers practically everyone, it is the absurd restriction on entering events with drinks, leaving attendees at the mercy of the prices charged in stadiums, venues and auditoriums, where a bottle of water costs the same as a monthly fee for the gym you never go to.

Now concert tickets will not include starvation
The initiative promoted by legislator Katy Ugarte Mamani will allow entry to these events with their own drinks and food to avoid being victims of prices considered abusive. A libertarian dream, but with your cold spaghetti topper included.
The objective of this law, as Ugarte mentioned, is “to restore the balance between consumers and organizers of private massive events, preventing citizens from being forced to consume products within the venues.” Basically, Peru has just taken the first step so that one day we can bring some chips to a concert without feeling like smugglers.
Although this is great news that urgently needs to be replicated in our country, there are also some “rules” for these new provisions. The water intake must be in a sealed, transparent and resistant plastic bottle, lest someone think that your Bonafont is vodka, or worse: Tonayan.
Regarding food, these must be similar to those sold within the premises, thus ruling out the possibility of entering with a roast chicken to share with the other attendees, especially if they bring the munchies on top and they were already savoring the breast.
Finally, it was established that event organizers will be obliged to install drinking fountains to guarantee free hydration of attendees, something that will undoubtedly hurt their lazy pockets, accustomed to charging for water as if they had brought it down from Everest itself.
The world is healing. Or at least Peru has already started. Now Mexico needs to do what it always does: copy it, but badly and with bureaucracy.
