IMPORTANT message from CARGO
A message from the CARGO team:
Hi everyone and our apologies for the delay in posting this up. A few of us were out of town over the weekend and we’ve finally had a chance to sit down, examine ticket sales and ultimately put together this reply. We would first like to thank everyone who made it out to our Roger Sanchez show at Plush this past Friday, November 4th. We appreciate your patience and understanding and to all of those who have replied to the various threads on these forums with info, your help is also appreciated. The situation: To cut right to the point, the Vancouver Police have been really hard on Plush as of late and have the ability to close down the door or call the venue “at capacity” whenever they want. We were NOT over capacity and did not oversell the Roger Sanchez show despite anything you’ve heard from your friends. – Those that were at previous Roger Sanchez and CARGO events know that we have visually had a hell of a lot more people in that venue before! Even on Saturday, October 29th at G-Man and Rizk’s (one of Vancouver’s longest running and most respected promotion teams) Big-Up Saturday’s, the Vancouver Police not only shut the doors down at 2AM, they actually shut the whole club night down at 2AM! On the popular Monday, October 31st show there, again the Vancouver Police also made it difficult to enter the venue. My point in stating this is that it doesn’t matter the promoter or the night, the Vancouver Police have the power to do what they want with the door when they want and this is exactly what happened at our Roger Sanchez show. Vancouver doesn’t have a lot of large capacity venues that allow us to afford bringing in the massive talent that we do which is why we host our large shows at Plush as it is the largest “legal capacity” venue in Vancouver. In terms of bouncers letting in non-ticket holders or personal friends in the venue ahead of our ticket holders that were waiting in line: The team at CARGO have come down hard on the venue management over this issue and have shown them each and every complaint that has been posted on this issue and have stressed to them that this can never happen again. – This is especially important with the Vancouver Police monitoring door traffic and “perceived capacity” as they have been as of late. TICKET HOLDERS WHO DID NOT GET IN: For anyone who did not get in, please contact your original ticket sellers either they be personal sellers, at Boomtown, Clubvibes.com or Clubzone.com. They have all been informed of this and on how to deal with refunds. Any advanced ticket holders who did not get in, will be issued a free ticket for the upcoming CARGO Christmas party at The Caprice with Stonebridge on Sunday, December 4th. Once again CARGO apologizes for this unfortunate situation that was beyond our control and can assure you that we are in discussions with Plush’s club management to do whatever we can to avoid any similar problems at our shows moving forward. Should you have any further questions or complaints, you can contact me directly or you can email Azim – [email protected] or [email protected]. We will do our best to respond to those emails in a timely manner. Should you have complaints, please also accompany those with suggestions on how we can improve our nights also taking into account that there is a bigger picture (in this case the Vancouver Police) to the problem. Thanks and hopefully we will be seeing some of you at our upcoming events: This Friday, November 11th = ERIC MORILLO at Plush Tuesday, November 22nd = BENNY BENASSI at Club 686 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4th = STONEBRIDGE at The Caprice Sincerely, the CARGO team - Azim, Savio, Ami and Kraig Last edited by Kraig; Nov 08, 05 at 06:36 PM.
