Gator Guards Orlando

Terrible attitude by security, yelling at performers and attendees. Employees of security company even openly complained about the company and the supervisor. One guard even told us that legally we didn’t have to listen to anything they told us.

I was at an event in Orlando , Florida Groves Fest, and I witnessed an ugly scene unfold involving someone in a blue Gator shirt named Joey.

After the Astroworld tragedy I've been wary of larger shows because security failures caused that tragedy. Joey shouldn't be in charge of a two car funeral never mind anyone's security
