My much-anticipated day came yesterday. I arrived at La Tolda in Plazuela (the venue) at around 11 am and managed to get in after 10 - 15 minutes of falling in line outside the tent. Entrance fee is free for Citibank cardholders and those who are wearing Crocs. Non-cardholders on the other hand need to pay Php 20. When I get in, there were already a lot of people rummaging through the large boxes filled with crocs footwear. The products are segregated into kids, womens, mens and unisex. There were areas for bags and a different brand of flats as well.
Newer models are not available for sale but the older ones are also nice so all is good. I got this McCall Ballet flat in cranberry, originally priced Php 1550, for Php 775 only. It is also available for sale in purple.

Re-entry (for free) is not allowed so better make up your mind before paying because the payment counters lead to exit door. There were five counters and it only took me like 15 - 20 minutes of standing in line.
If you are a Crocs lover and want to hoard a few pairs without doing a major damage on your pocket, watch out for events like this. In the country’s capital, the discount can be as huge as 90% so it’s really worth the time and effort. I suggest bringing an umbrella in case you need to fall in line under the sun, fan (for obvious reasons) and a bottle of water. Also, make sure that your stomach is full before getting inside the venue because food is not allowed.
