Mega snake in the middle of Munich: special event causes rush on Saturday

Numerous Munich residents got up very early on Saturday. In the middle of the city there was an extremely long queue - for a special event.

• In the middle of Munich, a long line of people forms early on Saturday morning.
• Numerous Munichers are waiting in front of the National Theater for a special sale.
• An ARD journalist shows how big the crowd is with a video.

Munich - Instead of sleeping in, many Munich residents had other plans this Saturday (8.2.): They left for the city center early in the morning.

The reason for the rush is not the start of sales of a new iPhone *. The people of Munich set out to get unusual pieces from the costume sale of the Bavarian State Opera.

Mega snake in the middle of Munich: Bavarian State Opera sells around 5000 costumes

The National Theater opened its doors at 10 a.m. - around 5000 costumes, masks and fabrics are sold from the Bavarian State Opera.

But if you want to try your hand at the costume collection, you should have stamina. Already over an hour before the start of sales at 10 a.m., a long line formed in front of the entrance to the National Theater.

Munich: ARD journalist Natalie Amiri films snake in front of the National Theater - "Goodbye bargains"

ARD journalist Natalie Amiri showed how big the rush was on Saturday morning with a video on Twitter. She films the queue of people waiting, who, for example, pass the time reading while standing in line.

If you think that you are half of the Orientalin, you have to be there extremely early, if you stand in the cold an hour before the costume sale at the Munich Opera ‍♀️ ... Good-bye pic.twitter.com/JdSHpNIYrD

"If you think you are half of the Orientals to be there extremely early, if you stand in the cold an hour before the costume sale at the Munich Opera ... Goodbye to bargains," she writes.

However, Amiri does not have to be afraid to get any bargains - at least if the answers to her Twitter post are at stake. "Oh, that will be fine - there is so much that they can't buy everything in front in the queue," writes one user.

Another comment shows that queuing is even more professional: "All beginners, nobody has a folding chair, thermos flask and a blanket with them."

Perhaps other Munich residents who, as late risers, also want to sell their costumes, take the suggestion to heart and bring a folding chair with them that makes waiting more pleasant. The National Theater is still open until 2 p.m.
