They oversold the event - I presume incompetence and corruption at Newham Council for saying the venue can hold 15,000. It can, but the venues inside the site hold 8,000 max. It was fine to begin with, then for some reason they made people queue to get in to Amon Tobin in the main tent - by this point the queue for the Subnitz was already ridiculous. The main venue was empty but the queue was an hour long.
Once inside the main tent, having queued for an hour, wasn't about to leave to queue again so was stuck in it. It just felt like no-one knew what they were doing. Security was drastically understaffed.
Then after Doom - who was programmed wrongly anyway - waited an hour and a bit to be told that Snoop wasn't on. I've got a low threshold for bullshit and live an hour's walk away, so we went to leave, by which time there were riot police around which definitely meant I left. I'm glad I was sober.
I thought it was all very funny - especially the middle classes running to complain to the police (!) - "I paid 50 pounds for this!" - I mean, hahaha. Run to the pigs for help. Please.
I just hope the Olympics runs as well as that, basically. I think the lack of apology - even if they have to word it weird so they're not accountable - is unacceptable, and I think taking down the Facebook complaints page which doesn't even leave people with a means to re-address, is frankly unforgiveable. You were responsible for fucking people over, somehow, at least fucking listen to them moan and hate you afterwards.
Oh, and it was my birthday. Hurrah lol!
