They are setting up a pop up store for the event. Most likely big heated show tent, or at least these sort of events tend to be arranged in such during winter. It's also only for people 18 or older, which basicly means that there will be free booze to drink.

Lock ins are rare in Finland and never used for full priced phones like Jolla. Also DNA already confirmed that Jollas won't be locked (IIRC).

Not overstated, pretty mild saying. The only thing to correct is that it should "ne kusee mun silmään"
