    I'm just gonna tell the SU that they can pay up or I complain formally to the CSC or whoever they report too. I doubt Genockey wants the college administration down his neck as not refunding is illegal and they do represent the college.

    Nobody with a ticket or wristband was turned away at the door as far as I know. There was just hundreds of people outside who were very wet and rumours confused them and they left.

    I blame Arthur.
    Rumours? Four Guards and then a couple of bouncers told me to feck off sure.

    I was the only sober one not shouting expletives at them actually! I'd love to sit in a lecture with you. "Oh my god, he asked another question!".

    The ironing is delicious.

    Take a week off from the forum. It is not the first time you have tried to pick a fight with other members on this forum.

    What can you do though?
    Complain to the college, complain to the venue, complain to the people who give the SU, and SU ents money.

    And when I say complain, I don't mean whinge, bitch or attack. I mean a short, well written, polite complaint and with respect to the SU, request for full refund.

    Some drunk girl gave me a broken wristband 10 minutes before I got there and I got in; it was a fantastic night. Hope this helps.

    Guys,

    No one will be getting money back frankly. If you ever look on an event flyer or ticket, all say ROAR, which is right of admission reserved. Essentially for any event they never gaurantee entry.

    What happened Thursday was beyond ents control. Genockey is extremly pissed off about the situation in fact.

    What happened at the Academy was not only there, same thing happened to Diceys and Dandelion amoung others aparently. Essentially the Guards shut it down.

    So why are people saying plenty got in without a wristband? If the bouncers weren't screening adequately, it's up the SU to call them on it and get money back. It's not for individual freshers to do it - especially if things got so out of hand BECAUSE the bouncers weren't doing their job.

    Well then in that case I don't think people selling the tickets and wristbands should have been saying things like "you're only guaranteed to get in if you have a ticket or wristband".

    They can put whatever they want on the ticket, but that doesn't waive your rights as a consumer.

    I think it's illegal to do that actually. What different does it make if he's annoyed though? If you bought a jacket from a shop, bring it back and he blames the manufacturer and becomes "really pissed off", would you let him off for the refund?
