I feel like this has to be a reference to the fake Cathedral Heights Metro station from House of Cards (also Netflix).

Even if other attendees act like amateurs, that should not affect the host delivering on promises of reasonable access to food/drink/bathrooms/etc. That's primarily what this is about.

I'm sure they do. But in those cases, attendees at least know who is responsible if they felt their experience was lacking (even if the host does nothing about it). And owners/hosts are more likely to at least listen to complaints because they have a reputation to uphold. And attendees can leave a review on Yelp/Google/etc. In contrast, the hosts of these big NYE parties conceal their identities to avoid accountability.
