Before going to the event i was well up for it, it took me 1hr to blag a mate who was skint to go.

we had no ticket due to not havin anyone to go with at time but 3 of us went in end. paid £45 by tout outside but due to line up i thiught it was worth it. got in 4000 in a 3000 capacity club and it goes down from there so here it is in pointers

arrogant staff includding doormen and toilet attendants

way way way to hot

dould only find 5/7 rooms

bullshit lineup marco v meant to be there turned out marco verde (sorry mate but u aint marco v)

music ok but djs poor (cant fault some and feel sorry for the next point that affected dl's

that much sweat n heat caused equipment to fuck up

£4/5 for line up times that were wrong (never mind payin for them)

Hi,

I do agree on some points: it WAS HOT, EXTREMELY HOT, BASICALLY TOOOO HOT - I hope they will fix their air conditioning system or install one if they don't have it there yet!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was no toilet paper and it was only around 2 am. I left my bag in cloack room. Later on that night I had to pay 1 pound to get it just for one minute to get sth out of it - it was ridiculous and a pathetic rip of.

Other than that music was great and I do enjoy it.

Dear DSIers, HFers, clubbers, Wildchild Fans,

Many thanks to every single punter that bought a ticket and came to our 4th Birthday Event @ SeOne last Saturday

Please see below comments and reactions to your points regarding the event:-

Heat:- After last years event, Wildchild and the venue invested somewhere in the region of £700.00 to bring in additional industrial fans to the venue to keep air circulation better then before and improve the clubbers night, its clear that we still need to action further to make it a cooler place to dance and enjoy.

The event in terms of demand, hype and ticket sales was an overwhelming success and busy clubs unfortunately will always be hot, we will acontinue to do everything we can to provide comfort for clubbers.

Ticket price:- £23.00 ticket price was the final instalment of our final tier of ticket prices. We like many others successful promotions, give our audience and buying public the opportunity to buy cheaper, lower priced tickets.

Earlybird tickets were £15.00, standard price tickets we’re £19.00

Wildchild did NOT at any time charge £45.00 for a ticket. Touts often get hold of tickets via various outlets and decide to charge very high prices when events sell out, this happens at any successful event, rave, concert or football game and cannot be stopped by Wildchild unfortunately.

Sound:- Wildchild worked tirelessly alongside the venue and the venue’s chosen sound company to get the best set ups available for this event.

Capacity:- We originally planned to do a 4,000 capacity event @ SeOne. Later down the promotion, we were told that we could no longer use the extra capacity planned and the event was reduced to a reduced capacity.

Neither the promotion or the club would allow the event to run over capacity due to safety concerns and controls put in place by local council regulations

Marco V:- Please see below comment and official statement from Marco V’s UK Agent, as you will see, Marco was officially confirmed for the event and we were let down very last minute, myself and WiLDCHiLD do not take lightly to DJ cancellations and pride ourselves on putting the very best line-ups we possibly can:-

Due to complications out of our control with another booking at Sensation in Poland, DJ Marco V will was not able to attend the Wildchild Party in London on October 28th for which he was originally booked to play a 2 hour set at.

A private jet was scheduled to take Marco V to play at both parties and due to a miscalculation we discovered that it was not going to be possible for him to make both events, this was an error on behalf of the jet company.

Marco would like to apologise to any clubbers who travelled to see him play and as his manager we are currently speaking with Wildchild Events to plan a replacement date in 2007.”

Sincere Apologies

JAY PIDGEON


Mark EG:- As you will see from the comment listed on Harderfaster by Mark himself, he was unable to play WiLDCHiLD due to a severe back injury, please see his below comments:-

“From harderfaster:- I just wanna say how sorry I am for not being able to play on Saturday. I know you all paid good money and I really hate the fact that I let some of you down. I can assure you it was nothing to do with Wildchild.

Unfortunately on Monday my back went. I mean it wasnt like I was doing anything major - just getting changed to get up. I felt a twindge - it's happened a few times before in my life and you think 'Oh dear, here we go again'. And sure enough, it was downhill from there.

I went to see a Chiropractor on Wednesday as I was in major pain. You really should have seen me trying to walk through the city streets to get there. What a nightmare! Anyway the Chiropractor laughed when I said I still wanted to do my gigs at the weekend. Like I say this has happened a few times before and usually it's about 5 days before it gets to the point where I can at least get in a car, so I still had it in my head I would be able to do it. This time has been alot worse and when Saturday came it was impossible. I had no option. I also had to cancel West Fest - one of my favourite events. Nightmare.

It's now Monday and I'm a little better. Don't know how many of you have had back pain before but it's a killer. You really can't do anything. Anyway, I'm now having regular trips to the Chiro, and I'm changing my lifestyle. This can't happen again. No more sitting at the computer for 12 hours solid! And I've enrolled into the gym too which is totally not like me! Not sure when I'll be able to start going but it's about time I started looking after myself I think.

So look, many many apologies to everyone. Just thought I'd better come on here and explain the situation. None of us are getting any younger eh...

Take care u guys.

Mark”


Paying guestlist:- Every person that asked me for paying guestlist, had the same response, “paying guestlist does not guarantee entrance into the event, buying a ticket does guarantee entrance.

WiLDCHiLD can put your name down on the paying guestlist but if we sell out before you get there, we cant let you in unfortunately as we have to give correct priority to ticket holders who pay their hard earned cash upfront for the event.”

Lanyards / Set times:- WiLDCHiLD sell lanyard set times at all of their major big events, SeOne being 1 of them.

Poster set times were up in the toilets but were taken down by clubbers as has happened previously at our events.

If a DJ does not come to the event on time and misses their set as happened with a few DJs on Saturday night, it makes it very difficult for WiLDCHiLD to try and fit the DJ in. WiLDCHiLD cannot be held responsible for DJs not allowing enough time to get into a sell out venue.

Therefore this can make the previously planned set times incorrect

Toilet attendants:- The toilet attendants are employed by SeOne the club and NOT by WiLDCHiLD. For future events please let me know your stance on these employees on whether you feel we should draft in our own polite friendly staff.

As I have always stated, please feel free to e-mail me on reece@wildchild.tv or call or text me on 07886 578679

I will always do my very best to help in any way possible. My replies will not be instant as we are usually run off our feet for around 17/18 hours a day

If you want to speak to any of my partners please feel free to do so as we are a team of four :-)

All the best, enjoy your raving,

Reece

for and on behalf of Gem, Scott, Richard and the loyal team at WiLDCHiLD!

Take every above word with a pinch of salt.

The Wildchild team have since admitted that "at the time of printing the lanyards, the set times were correct".

Marco V does NOT appear on the lanyards.

Therefore at the time of printing, the Wildchild team KNEW Marco V would not be appearing, and they chose to NOT announce it.

They knew some clubbers, like myself, would not attend if they announced it, they knew they would have to refund some tickets, so they chose to say nothing, meaning clubbers like me wasted money on flights, getting to an event, to see a Dj that they KNEW wouldnt be there.

Guys - if you feel like youve been shafted by this bunch of wasters, avoid all their events in the future and hopefully they will learn that they cant treat the people putting money in their pockets this way.

as organisation gos it was a bowl of runny cat shit!!!!
but i did enjoy myself to a certain extent( the extent that the only good 2 hours were when lab4 and proteus were on), needed to do sommin about the volume of people, at least the main room could have been at the back where the big trance room was so we didnt get a constant stream of sweaty fuckers pushing past to go between rooms or to get balloons etc, i wont be returning, we drove for 6 hours from manchester in high spirits to come to this for my birthday and were let down, my mate morgan was due to play in the funk deluxe room.......did he play ive not had chance to ask him, i didnt see his name on the lanyard,would have been nice to show some support!

hmmmm - another cut and paste jobby by Reece - is that as much effort is giving to any comment about his event ?

I didn't go so can't state - but I will tell you one thing - the After Party at Twist Kicked arse - one of Cally Gage's best set's and glad I stayed away from this due to my love of Twist !

(suspect cut and paste job above as he is sitting counting all the money he made ??)
