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!
