Gelsenkirchen wristband screw up!! BIG SH*T!
When I think about it, I'm so mad at Gelsenkirchen security right now!!
We were supposed to get wristbands at 13:00, so we arrived at 12:00, right on time.. It wasn't very crowded so we decided to queue up at 12:30 (after having a grand ol time in one of those port-o-cabins) right behind the people who arrived earlier... Then one of the security guys came and told us we would get wristbands at 15:00, I mean hello, it's 26 degrees Celsius, blazing sun and almost no shade?? Then we were told to move the queue to a different side of the box-office. If we failed to comply, nobody would get wristbands at all. So we deicided to follow the instructions and be nice and do as we were told. All of a sudden all hell broke loose, people who arrived later pushed to the front, there wasn't anything going organized and well. Then at 15:30, they finally started to give away wristbands and as always, it was a struggle and all the plans the security made, they ignored.. So basically after 1,5 hrs of standing and nothing happening much, we almost were at the box-office and then: NO MORE WRISTBANDS! The as*h*les had already opened the venue, so the general audience had the last wristbands inside already...they couldn't make the pit bigger, because people were getting inside already and we were left with about 300 Backstage-members, who also paid $40, with NOTHING... after a while some figths broke out, people were getting very mad and it was just f*cked up! We were then told we would get wristbands for the 2nd pit, but hey, that's not what we paid for, right Mrs. B??? So people decided to get in and claim the 2nd pit wristbands, but they were refused all of a sudden, it was chaos and utter crap! So to make a long story short (after seeing the chaos at previous tours): 1) Security should make lines with people who arrive first, getting first service! Is it so hard to use some system?? use some of those iron things so we can make a line?? (sorry, don't know the English word for Dranghek!!) 2) A representative of Backstage with JBJ should be there to make sure every member will get a wristband for the 1 st pit! (that's why we join that lame club) 3) When we are told distribution starts at 13:00, shouldn't it start at 13:00? I mean, 15:30?? hello?? 4) If anyhing goes wrong, shouldn't the general public have to wait for the FC members instead of the other way around?? STOOPID!! It's so frustating to see that the security who suc*ed the most (Milton Keynes 2001) are the only ones who could organize giving the wristbands away properly. I feel very cheated by Gelsenkirchen security, Backstage with JBJ-management (where were you when you were needed) and what could have been a great day was spoiled a lot (concert kicked ass by the way) I fear for Amsterdam, since the organizer there (Mojo) have poop for brains as well.... aargghhh! |
YES the MAGIC word FENCES (dranghekken), we're like animals we need to be caged in to behave!:mad: :oops:
I am sorry it turned out really bad for you! We arrived at 8 am and ended really in the back of the first pit behind all the people that arrived later and pushed themselves up front oh well :twisted: What can you do? And yes I am holding my heart for Amsterdam, cause Mojo sucks, wish they didn't have that stupid monopoly position! Cynthia |
Man, reading your experiences sure makes me affraid for next tuesday :(
Why is it SO difficult to SET UP SOME FENCES??? I wonder about that EVERY TOUR :mad: I just hope these incidents are a rarity and not 'usual'! |
