Hi all, what's been your experience of getting into this event? I tried the lab back in May and it was a waste of time as the queue was huge and everyone seemed to just jump it. After 2 hours I gave up. I've heard snax is even worse.
Last year I had to queue for 4 hours, I arrived at 22 and entered at 2. That is the worst time if you don't want to queue for too long. An alternative is to arrive very early if you want to enjoy the earlier hours (we're talking 19-19:30 maximum, if the queue is very very long they might open before 23) or late in the night (one of my friends arrived at 2 and entered at 3-3:30, another arrived at 5 and there was no queue). Consider that the party lasts until the afternoon of the next day (15 or 16 iirc) and you get a free pass for the sunday party at Berghain, so you can stay until sunday night basically. Some people do cut the line but it's risky, if the crew notices you they will kick you out.
The thursday night is the naked party (lab only), the queue i s much shorter but be sure to arrive early, it starts earlier and ends earlier. In my personal experience, I was feeling kind of defeated after the 4 hours line and thought that there was no way it was going to be worth it, but as soon as I entered it felt amazing. One of the best nights of my life, if not the best
