This just happened, BLOC shut down because too many people onsite. Snoop dogg cancelled and venue is being closed down by police. Feeling for the punters and organisers alike. Can anyone shed light on what went wrong, and if saturday is still on?

Yeah I would be Livid. Hopefully the alteast got out of the chaos. I guess JamesHK was right about it being a half finished shamble of a venue.

good thing i would never spend $1000 on this sort of thing b/c if i did... there's no refunds for plane tickets

I've heard the ticket scanners stopped working and they weren't checking tickets, word got out all you needed was a copy. We won't know until the statement obvs.

I thought this would have been really cool to go to, the city thing i thought was a great idea, really disappointed on behalf of everyone who went.

Can confirm this as my mate said he didn't get searched or ticket checked. Could this be one of the main reasons why there were bare people if friends of friends kept passing tickets?
