[Ticket-entrance] Kids under 6 rule and Goodie bag lane will not be implemented

[Robert (aka Number3)]

Hello Thomas,

It’s a pity we didn’t get the chance to talk in person at RevSpace this 
weekend. I think that would have made things much easier and clearer for 
both of us.

In my earlier message today, I shared the latest developments because 
the situation had changed compared to what I previously communicated. I 
thought it was important to ensure you had the most up-to-date 
information.

I wasn’t aware that you had already suggested months ago that the badge 
should be handed out by Team:Badge. That information wasn’t shared with 
me. I was asked to coordinate the welcome package, and at that time I 
was informed by Christel that badge handout would happen at the entrance 
gate.

I also noticed you’re no longer in the Signal group that Lukas created, 
where much of the coordination around the welcome package and badge 
handout has taken place in recent weeks.

Could you help me understand why you feel you’re not involved in the 
welcome package? From my perspective, its handout at the entrance does 
touch on team:entrance.

I am open for a short call to clearify the situation tomorrow, let me 
know. I am available all day for WHY related work.

Warm regards,

Robert / Number3
