Labour Of Love - Apology
I would like to personally address concerns regarding the Labour Of Love party this past Sunday, September 1, 2002. An over abundance of people attended the event, much to our surprise. For most clubs and promoters this is a dream come true, for us - we had a nightmare on our hands.
The entire evening was dedicated to working crowd control and keeping everyone safe and walkways clear. This effected people who chose to walk around and see the various rooms and Dj's. As most of you witnessed this job was not an easy one. In total we had on staff 45 in-house security, 25 outside security and 10 Metro Police Officers along with 2 medic’s. We were overwhelmed at the amount of people who just kept coming. Most begged admittance even after waiting in line for an extended period of time.(some over 2 hours) Attempting to accommodate everyone I personally heard every excuse in the book “It’s my birthday”, “Half my group is already inside”, “My Girlfriend already went in” and on and on. Even after informing people that they would probably not get in. We are in the process of completing a door count and have over 500 fraudulent tickets unaccounted for, which in turn increases the volume.
The line-ups were unavoidable, we only allow so many people in the building at one time. Searching is also mandatory for each patron, this slows down the door but I think you’ll all agree that it is necessary for everyone’s safety. For these reasons we utilized the parking lot outside and offered complimentary music and entertainment for everyone.
I would like to personally apologize if you found your experience here on Sunday less than positive. Please except my invitation for you and a guest to attend a show or event of your choice over the next 3 months.
Sincerely
Charles Khabouth
Owner – The Guvernment Entertainment Complex
