Live Nation owned by Clear Channel who own more than 40% of US radio and who own Ticketmaster who sell most of the tickets to events run by the company they own and then charge you a commission. Capitalism's great though, its all about the competition. I worked on GnR in Slane in '93 - the day before they arrived we were all briefed not to look at his Axl-ness for the duration. At Slane there is a small stream immediately behind the stage, and two small bridges connect the stage area to the backstage compound, production offices and catering. Usually, a one way system operates: on this occasion, the band insisted that one bridge be for their exclusive use....... It is my sincerest wish that MCD get whats coming to them for treating it customers so poorly.

His lecture during the jungle made the crowd boo more. I dont agree with people throwing anything on stage and MCD suggesting it was anything other than beer is a complete joke. 2 of my mates who came dont have jobs and that was a huge amount of money for them for nothing. We all travelled from Belfast, Clare and Cavan overnighted it in a hotel in Dublin and were told to go home by security, no refund, what a Joke. It is my sincerest wish that MCD get whats coming to them for treating it customers so poorly. Please someone start a well organised boycot!!!!!! 6 of us went all standing tickets and the crowd werent infromed about why there was a delay by MCD and he didnt acknoledge the wait.
