Since the O2 is not an all night venue, then surely a start time and end time must have been mentioned somewhere along the line. What's to stop other artists pulling a strop and playing for a few minutes whenever the hell they feel like it in future? Things get even more confusing when a curfew is thrown in to the equation, surely. Just does not add up.

This Midnight curfew figure is starting to sound like utter bollox. Someone asked the question earlier if he didn't walk off , what exactly would have happened at 11pm if they were still playing. Guess we'll never know.

cherub rock wrote: » Right... The troublemakers were CAUSED BY THE SITUATION! A situation caused by Axl and how MCD/ O2 handled it! Can you not see this??! It's not like a bunch of non G n R fans said "let's spend 70e each to throw a plastic bottle and boo!" for the craic. Feck, I was so excited about it and so let down and pissed off then that I was booing like a scumbag but he deserved it. The bigger the fan, the more insulted and the more anger I reckon.
ticketsthere wrote: » Well, I told ye my sources, can't swear by it ad that's why it's not mentioned in the review. But the O2 Carpark just had to stay open I suppose. Was it still open at 01:00am?

I left at 11.15pm on the LUAS (which would not have been running at 0.50, so no chance of me collecting my car from the Red Cow car park had I stayed either) after the house lights came on and there was no band on the stage. The security guy I was talking to advised that we (me and my family) leave as the concert was now over. Probably the same guy that fed you the curfew bollix and it all now looks like no one there last night was clued in to what the plan was at that stage. A shambles of an event.

That's 80, but half the time was changing the stage set-up. Fair enough people are pissed but at least use the facts to bad mouth them.
Thats not what I was told or the people in front and behind that were all asking MCD staff in the place what time GnR were to come on, we were all told 9 - 9:15pm.
Nerin wrote: » well you just said there in your post that you use official sources, i was wondering who? pretty straight forward. I won't be checking back on your site, read it earlier when someone posted it on twitter and found your review a little rough tbh. Especially telling each and every fan to **** themselves, even though it wasn't every fan throwing **** and acting like fools.
