It was more like a family occasion, with many noisy children and even infants They must have also occupied the chairs and hence the problem More of Party workers or kariakartas and their friends and family. Parking was mess too. We asked 2 traffic cops where the 50 coaches for delegates leaving from? The answer 'I don't know' https://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukiffi3/15838149512/in/photostream/ Those who were in already, entry denied, locked door from inside https://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukiffi3/15836597545/in/photostream/ Spare Blank Invitation Cards / Pass were available at the venue with the people I asked one, I got two.
