sorry, but they have plenty of experience in making these events.... they make plenty of money out of it.... and £30 is a lot of money and there is a standard you come to expect as a minimum ... things like bars and queues should never be an issue because it is folly that over the many years in business they have not figured out how to facilitate the process


as for the sound system not working right.... bloody hell... it is a music event.... it's like going to watch the formula 1 and the cars don't work..... they had all day to sort out the music system...

all the excuses are invalid and lame. these organisations are supposed to be the top dog and professional... so just keeping quiet for the sake of it or 'the scene' is not correct

the fact is it's about making as much money as possible and cutting as many costs as possible... that's the issue...!

and as long as people are willing to digest the cheap quality, the longer it will go on....

Firstly £30 is not a lot of money for entertainment, in the last couple of years I have been to rock concerts, west end theatre, the opera, football and cricket matches. They have all cost more (some, a lot more) than £30 and apart from the cricket they only last 2 - 3 hours, also they all have long queues at the bar.
Secondly a rave is not a concert, it's a dance. How can you worry about sound quality when you have blokes yelling, girls screaming, horns, whistles and an MC doing their bit over the top of it all. From my position in the techno room, I couldn't tell there was a channel down and it was loud enough. If you want sound quality, stop mucking about with your 1210's and buy yourself a Linn LP12, then you will really hear what's on your records.
I do agree with your last sentences, however it was my first rave, so i have nothing to compare it with........i just enjoyed the whole night.

U obviously attend these types of events for a different reason than me then.... cause it isnt just for a "dance" for me....... I attend purely for the music, so i would be expecting an excellant sound system. And with the billing it had, it should have been a superior system to most imo, so having a channel missing and a severe lack of bass is a disgrace!

p.s. £30 is a lot of money for me! then included the expense of a 600mile round trip as well if i was able to attend.
