Dear Big Concerts...

Dear Big Concerts,

As the premier (read only) international live show facilitator in South Africa, I think your company is lacking in a few areas.
Namely logistics and research.

Lets start with logistics.
You ran out of beer at last years Colab. You either over estimate or under estimate crowd attendance for gigs and then go on to book venues that are entirely unsuitable.
You either undersell or over hype events.
In effect, you haven’t found the right balance for your advertising and promotions.

Research.
Do you do ANY research, at all? If you do, fire that person immediately! They are obviously not paying attention to social trends or what the public wants. When was the last time they even went to a gig not sponsored by 5fm?

You work with 5fm.

You are obviously losing money, seeing as how your ticket prices are the far side of exhorbitant, that even touts find it hard to sell them.

You obviously need a good kick up the arse.

So hire me immediately!

Thank you,

Insano.


Digg!

Ooooh... I'm ready for all the chaos!

We're coming up to JHB for this concert. The one thing that gets to me is that you're not allowed pass-outs! How absolutely ridiculous!

actually, i agree with the no pass outs rule, esp considering the location and a whole list of other issues. Again, Big Concerts could have avoided it by thinking the event through...
