Need a postal address for Live Nation

JDE_4

I hope this is in the right place but I need an address for the concert organsisers Live Nation so that I can write to them with my observations about the utter mayhem that was James Blunt's concert at Harewood House on Friday. I've had a look on their website but there isn't a postal address listed. Can anyone help me as I really need to vent my spleen on this one? :mad:

The main points I need to complain about are:

1. There were staff searching people's bags and confiscating glass bottles on the way in yet when you reached the performance area there was a bar selling...glass bottles.

2. There was no organisation whatsoever and no walkways identified so people were literally sitting themselves down with their picnic and refusing to allow people past them, 20,000 people in a field with no-one organising it and once you were in there was no way of getting out to go to the toilet (and I won't even go into the state of them, as a seasoned concert-goer even I was retching).

3. Because of the lack of organisation people were having full-blown stand-up arguments with with each other with a few blokes going toe-to-toe and strangely enough no security staff intervened yet an elderly couple near us lit a tealight and suddenly they swooped like the SAS demanding they put it out as a 'safety risk'.

4. Mr Blunt himself (I know, I know!!!) was only just above average and sang for just over an hour, we left before his encore as we couldn't face the carnage of trying to get out with everyone else.

5. The whole event including booking fees raked in around £1,000,000 and none of it seemed to have been spent on organisation or in ensuring the safety of those attending.

I also intend to fire a letter off to Leeds City Council as they are responsible for Harewood House's entertainments license.

Rant over, feel a bit better for that

I really appreciate that, thank-you very much :beer:

I'm quite sure it'll do no good whatsoever but it might make me feel a bit better:)

did it state anything on the back of the tickets about bottles? when i went to the foo fighters in june it said no glass bottles or cans only plastic bottles 500ml or under acceptable so i bought some of mineral water and was then astonished to have to remove the lids (and even remove the sucker thing that you pull out to drink the water through -on some bottles) and throw them away before being allowed to enter the venue (hyde park). when we got in there they were selling bottles with lids attached. beats me.

but what im trying to say is check what the t&c on the back of the tickets are incase you make a buffoon of yourself complaining about something that may have been clearly stated (this isnt a pop, im sure you are not a buffoon)

Lol, don't worry, I've been called worse

It did say on the back of the tickets about no glass bottles so I won't be complaining about that but i will be asking why their glass bottles were deemed to be perfectly safe! In any event it made me feel slightly less guilty about the fact that we successfully managed to sneak ours in, twas like being 15 all over again

I went on Sunday to Leeds Lastle and exactly the same thing happened. The thing that people were annoyed about was the fact they had called that morning and been told glass bottles were fine. :mad:

Do you know if the same company were responsible for all his gigs, or should I contact Leeds Castle?

If it was a 'Summer Nights' gig then i think Live Nation were responsible (and I use that term loosely).
