Sylt is considered "the holiday island for the uberrich". When the idea was first considered, their mayor carelessly spoke to the media that he feared the plebs coming to their island and do lower-class stuff, in short, getting on the nerves of 'regulars'. Which was the inspiration for Germany's youth to - very loudly - start planning the invasion of Sylt to drink cheap beer from tincans and do lower-class stuff. Add our liberal-democratic federal finance minister to the mix, who will get married on Sylt in mid-June, and you got a perfect storm. Something very similar happened in the 1990s, when the Bahn had a cheap ticket - back then, riot police was sent to Sylt to avoid lower-class tourists getting too annoying. This time, though, it's likely going to be a lot worse, because of things being more organized thanks to the internet.
