Fans were looking forward to the day of the event, but it didn’t turn out quite as they had hoped. According to the Échele Cabeza organization, many attendees realized that tickets had been oversold, since the space was designed for a capacity between 600 and 700 people, when in reality approximately 1,200 tickets were sold.

Additionally, users denounced that the security personnel restricted their hydration, since They were not allowed to drink water from the bathroom because “it was not drinkable” and the bottles had a value of 10,000 pesos each, a fairly high cost compared to what it is really worth in the market and that for many was unaffordable.

“Once again overflow capacity, restrictions for the vital minimum of water, use of sistances, police who do not exercise control and more complaints give context to the death of a young man at a party this Saturday night in Chapinero,” said the collective through his Twitter account.

The other attendees denounced that the death of the young man, who responded to the name of Miguel Rodríguez, was due to the negligent conditions that the place arose, taking into account the excess of people, the lack of hydration, the possible consumption of substances and the lack of ventilation.

Several users affirmed that the organizing company of this event was also in charge of ‘Red Room 2 Freakshow Fetish Party’, an event that took place in July 2022 and in which a 26-year-old named Ricardo Rojas was also killed.

For this reason, Internet users called on the public to stop attending these types of events organized by the same company: “Ravers, stop supporting these events. Let’s not allow groups that care more about money than life”, “You have to stop taking risks, we already know how those badly planned parties end”, “If you don’t know how to do things well, you better not do them! No more of this, there are two. How many more? Are we going to learn to cancel collectives that don’t care about ravers?”

Given this, the group asked the District Government to exercise stricter regulations for the organization of these parties in order to guarantee the safety of users: “The reduction of damage is inherent in leisure spaces and night entertainment with the objective to have more effective strategies and to face a phenomenon and social practice such as substance use”.
