Chris Isaak at Mornington - what a steaming pile of crap that was! The event management was woeful, seating was shocking (it looks like they were prepared for a crowd of about 100 - anything after that you couldn't see a thing) Couldn't see the stage never-the-less the artists. We were crammed in a space between the stands and the racetrack at an impossible downhill angle, we were near the back (having arrived 10 minutes after the gate opened but being put into a HUGE queue with only 4 people checking bags - when the line got too long, the simply took the people from the end of the queue and made a new line - so late arrivals got in LONG before we did. Waited 40 minutes to get a soda $3.50 - cheaper than water at $5.00 a bottle. ticket-holders got so angry they finally intimidated staff into opening another area for seating but that was even further down behind a hill - I'm sure they didn't see anything. the latest arrivals got to sit in the racetrack stands - but half of that seating was behind the sound tower that blocked huge amounts of space. Honestly, it was the worst run affair I've ever seen. I hope Chris Isaak's management company hears about this and SUES the hell out of Andrew McManus. Seriously, does anyone know of an action to get your money back? Oh yea, I was one of the idiots that paid full price - I know there were 2 for 1's on the market for a month before hand. Met another couple there that just walked right in the gates after the concert started. No one manning it to take the tickets or check their bags. PATHETIC. |
