A new trend has divided many people on the internet, and it’s related to paying a visit to see the late Queen lying-in-state.
A lot of sellers are selling wristbands for hundreds of dollars, so you don’t need to stand in line all night to see the queen.
A lot of royal fans have expressed extreme dedication to paying the Queen a visit, and due to the popularity, they’re standing in line for more than 24 hours straight.
But if you’ve got the money, you can now purchase a wristband that allows you to mark your position and not collapse your way to enter Westminister Hall, where the Queen is currently lying in state.
Some are expressing sheer joy at the arrival of the wristband because they claim hundreds fainted while standing in those never-ending queues.point 408 |
On the other hand, there are plenty who are desperate to get the easy way out, and if that means chucking out extra cash, then so be it.point 109 | But they’re being called disgusting for promoting such acts on the Queen’s death.point 190 | 1
The news comes despite a massive crackdown taking place on eBay. Sellers have been forbidden from the act of selling such things, but others are still managing to do it somehow.
Meanwhile, a new report has shed light on how such bands will not be letting you skip the line anymore. And that’s why sellers are being discouraged from taking part in such tactics to make a quick buck.
“If that was the case, then people like David Beckham and the thousands of others would have gotten in much earlier than they anticipated,”- mentioned critics who condemned the act.
The highest single bid for such wristbands is going in thousands, and people find the endeavor beyond heartbreaking. Meanwhile, one woman who bought an extra wristband is willing to sell it at a cheaper cost. And the reason why is simple. She wants to raise proceeds for a cancer foundation.
After being a cancer patient herself, she feels more proceeds need to be made, so she’s taking part in the act. But again, she was met with great criticism.
