Field Day Festival On The Receiving End Of Complaints
Published Monday, 13th August, 2007 at 9:12 AM
Music fans who attended the Field Day Festival have been venting their frustration on the events MySpace page, after problems with toilets and bars.
Angry ticket owners claim they had to wait up to two hours to get served at the bar and toilet queues ran up to an hour wait. What's more, those who attended are also complaining about the low levels in sound quality.
Fans are however, reporting that the rest of the event was great fun. Organisers have now issued a statement which reads:
"Thanks to those of you that attended the first Field Day. Hands up, we got swamped. Sorry. It was our first festival, and there were clearly too many queues."
"We did not oversell the event and the numbers of all toilets and bars were approved by the council."
"However we clearly didn't anticipate the demands on the bars from a Field Day crowd, and it clearly wasnt anywhere near enough. Next year we will be at least doubling both bar and toilets."
"We feel very disapointed about these problems, and hope that it didn't affect your enjoyment of the music and other activities too much. We appreciate all of the feedback we have received and will be taking it all on board."
"Thank you once again for attending the first Field Day, we will improve."
