I went to the event with a crowd of 40 clubbers from across the North West, and I am not on my own in saying we were VERY dissapointed
But after reading serveral forums, I am also VERY dissapointed with 'Missing's response, forums are there so customers can share their views about a night, without being slated or called a 'drugy' just because they dont hold the same view as the promoters
I understand that some things were out of their control, but surely they can not blame us for being dissapointed.
I understand that the volume had to be turned down, but even so, there was not sufficient speakers in the right places to start with.
We had solely gone to Missing for the oldskool warehouse, yet in comparison to the other warehouse, it didnt seem that much effort had been made.
I can see that a lot of hard work obviously went into this night, and I cant say that I didnt enjoy it at all, but I dont feel that i got my £17 worth, its all very well and good having top named DJ's but if you cant hear what they are playing what's the point?
If they knew from the start about the noise reduction, could the promoters not have put a sign explaining the situation, rather than leaving the punters confused and annoyed (especially in the case of shutting early and DJ slots moving, because obiously we couldnt hear at the back)
I dont see anyone who was there on Friday, attending the venue again, for that sole reason, and I'd feel wary of attending another event,to be honest.
I understand that it was out of the promoters control, but what about the punters? We need to know that if we are to pay money out for a night, we'll get what we paid for. But it seems only the venue management,the promoters & the DJ's get paid, and we the punters are left out of pocket.
I hope there is another Vibalite, Comulsion, Goodtimes event, but held at better venue, even if it isnt in a warehouse - with better soundsystem etc - the decent thing to do, would be to offer those dissapointed punters a discount on thier tickets.
