Hitting the Wall

A huge celebration for the anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s destruction was planned. You needed a ticket to get in. If you did not have a ticket, you would be blocked…by a wall.

To celebrate the Berlin Wall coming down, another one was erected in its place. At the MTV Europe Music Awards Wednesday night, revelers who came out to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the fall of the wall were met with an unpleasant surprise. Event organizers had thrown up a barrier to prevent non-ticketholders from getting views of U2, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z performing. Some 10,000 free tickets were made available for the open-air concert celebrating the historic moment. (Daily Mail)

“Irony” doesn’t really fit this situation. If I had to pick a better word, it’s would be, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
