Drake โ€“ Summer Sixteen Pop-Up Shop Reaction

What!? Another pop-up!?

Having gone the first time he did this back in April, I started flashing back to the 3 hour wait in line and wondered if it was even worth it. Then I thought twice and said to myself, โ€˜Drake did give us free shirts last time, so maybeโ€ฆโ€™, just maybe he might give out some more free gear.

I found outย Drake has 4 shows for his Summer Sixteen tour at the Madison Square Garden this week, so the pop-up would be open all 4 days rather than the 1 day they had before. There is no way they would have a shop open 4 days and not want money right?

I arrive mid-afternoon to a line ofย about 300 or so Drake fans and counting. From teenagers to middle-agers, drakes eclectic fan base always makes for interesting โ€˜people watchingโ€™.

I know the drill, so I hop in line and start to wait..wait..wait..waitโ€ฆwait.ย Drizzy had us all right where he wanted, like โ€˜Controllaโ€™.

I wasย one of the last 20 people allowed inside before the shop closed for the day. ย After all that wait, at least 100 people got sent home. One guy honestly looked like he was going to cry!ย Fans might be โ€œOut here looking for Revenge!โ€

I get home then tell myย partner about my day and her reaction was perfect:

โ€œSo you just waited in line all day just to walk into a store and buy something? Your so cure babe but thatโ€™s ridiculous!โ€

Apparently she thinks I am crazy for waiting in line hours, just to spend money in a store. Are pop-up shops a good idea? Or is it all just ridiculous? Would you wait in line for hours just to buy merch from your favorite artist? Rate the the Summer Sixteenย pop-up experience. Tell us what you think in the comments.

Conclusion
Drake's Summer Sixteen pop-up shop was great promo and an interesting way to reach out to fans and give out exclusive merchandise. If only they could have done something about the wait times and a lot of people unfortunately got left out.
