All over Twitter that this has just been down by the cops due to unsafe crowd management??

What an absolute fuckup. I'm not there but I'm so angry with them for not getting the simplest of things right. I can't imagine how the people who paid to go over feel. Anyone who ever goes to any of their events again is a dickhead.

What was the exact reason? Too many people without tickets, or a new venue not being able to cope with so many heads arriving at the same time? People going fuckin nuts on their facebook page, saying they were standing in a non-moving queue for up to eight hours. Some people saying they were getting crushed??? Bizarrely they were tweeting all night that the event was a success! Very strange that one.

Anyway, be interested to hear exactly what happened.

I think bloc have too much riding on this to fuck things up. If this was a failure - and with the ticket sales so well, it's arguable already that it can't be a failure - it could prove troublesome for them.

Hey Kenny are you a psychic or sumfink?
