I emailed Insomniac about the line & parking. The response:

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting in touch. We totally agree that the long wait and line outside was out of control and we're going to make sure it never happens again. Some of the steps we are planning to take (along with many more) are:
- Opening the doors much earlier, including doing a soft open where we begin admitting people to the show before the event officially begins
- Building multiple entrances on opposing sides of the coliseum to balance the crowds. If you've ever been to a USC football game, that should give you a good idea of what sort of entrance layout we'll be using in the future.
- Increasing the number of turnstiles per entrance as well as aggressively ramping up the amount of security staff present at the entrances to help speed up the security screening process.

The security staff were both unprepared and understaffed. Unfortunately, the Coliseum has a contract with the security company (CSC Event Security) that prevents us from hiring our own, more professional security staff that are better suited to dealing with the large crowds who attend our events. Next time we are going to heavily manage the security staff to make sure they do a much better job.

The long wait was in no way planned and we would never do such a thing in the hope that we sell more VIP tickets because of a long general admission line.

I also agree with you about the parking situation as well, unfortunately that is also out of our control. The lots around the Coliseum are owned and operated by independent companies who pretty much just gouge people who come to the area for events. I wish USC or the Coliseum would use their clout to bring these people under control, but I don't think it will happen any time soon.

We always put the people who attend our shows ahead of greed, unfortunately the companies we are sometimes forced to partner with don't share the same idea. Our main goal is to make sure everyone has a good time - if that doesn't happen, we haven't done our job. Long lines, bad security and expensive parking are things we dislike just as much as the people who deal with it firsthand.

Thanks for getting in touch and for coming to the show, I hope you still managed to enjoy yourself on Saturday despite the problems you encountered.

Thanks,
Matt

i know hes just one person but "benny benassi stole the show"
yet everyone on here has basically trashed him....



Come on, it was some random person thinking they know what they're writing about.
Sure, it makes us al upset when we know they're talking out of their ass, but there isn't much we can do. (well you could write to the editor, but see if that works...)

Sorry honey, I was the one grabbing you. I hadn't seen you in a long time.


Posted by KarenLuvs2Party on Jul-02-2008 18:57:

So are we doing an encore at Nocturnal? I'll buy the tickets =X. hahaha


Posted by TSG on Jul-02-2008 19:03:

Thinking about it.


Rizo! Nice quality pics! Too bad I didn't see you.

Bucke, I missed CircuitGrounds too! Too bad we can't re-take/re-do EDC... I would have cut in front of the line way on early and checked out all the stages. Well except for the Drum & Bass one.

I hate to say this, really


there is so much complaining about this party...


If there was just one single party like this on the east coast, excluding miami, every year... people would be crying for more.

The west coast scene is a rare item in this country. Over here in New Jersey / New york, people have their houses raided for playing electronic music if there are over 30 people there.

Theres almost no scene from New York all the way down.

Please everyone be happy with what you have, yes there will be problems, but people alllll across the country have nothing like those partys to ever experience!


There were problems at the party, and parking and lines sucked, but I cried from being so happy I could see that partys somewhere out there are still alive, for people to come together in one place and share the music.

I was sober.

Maybe the cops are trying to prevent more guys from looking like this.

its because we are spoiled that we complain, there is a high standard for parties on the west coast, especially because of the money we pay. Promoters are making a killing out here, people are just complaing i think to remind them to serve a good product.
