Samhain Festival - 26th October 2014

The mix of buses/shuttles to the countryside and people drunk or on drugs just doesn't go well theres always hassle. Anyone who has ever been on a mystery tour,college ball, wedding/stag/piss up to the middle of nowhere would tell you that. Samhain were trying that but for few thousand people, madness to think from day one it wouldn't be a disaster.

no problem with people on drink or drugs really, it was the organisation that was a shambles. they could have all been sober and it would still have been the same outcome.

The promoters’ response is best described as mealy-mouthed. After patting themselves on the back by citing the “huge amount of effort and planning” that went into the event (clearly not, judging by the complaints) and saying they are “a team of people who are passionate about throwing parties”, they then blame “a number of different issues, some of which were out of our control”.
As outlined above, the issues which went wrong and which caused the fans who’d shelled out for the event to be angry about how they were treated – the bars, the queues and the buses – were completely within their control. You open more bars, you stock more drink, you hire more people to drive the buses and sort out the queues and you make sure the sound for each of the stages is A1. All of this costs money but when you have 5,000 people paying up to €65 a ticket, you have the money to do so.

Anyone know if this is happening this year?
