Tot scandalul asta poate fi o oportunitate excelenta pentru cei de la TicketPoint sa-si fidelizeze clientii printr-o reactie prompta si prin returnarea integrala a banilor. Am scris despre asta pe blogul meu aici.

So , what happened exactly ? Since the second part of last year (2008) Emagic was in competition with another promoter ( a real one !) to bring AC/DC to Romania. We entertain very close relationships with the bands exclusive agent (C.A.A.) , which is also the agency behind STING (Sala Palatului - Feb '09), SANTANA (B'Estfest headliner on July 4) , DURAN DURAN, ALANIS MORISETTE, etc.., Final news on AC/DC was : No show in Romania in 2009 because the band does not see Parc Izvor (the only place where we saw such a show possible) as suitable at this stage. End of story. Pity. Hopefully we get a propper stadium in 2010 and we can try again. On April 5, announcement of Bucharest Rock Arena (BRA). Made by PLAYCOOL ! PLAYCOOL ? Let's check the site. Hmm..doesn't look like much... You can vote for PINK FLOYD ? U2 ? AC/DC ? Haha... These guys... Funny... Most of the acts on the list are either NOT touring, NO longer existing , NOT playing festivals, NOT touring in that period, etc...Late april 1 joke, no doubt. Press release signed by Erhan Douhan. Let's check who this is on google. Nothing comes up. Let's check Playcool on google. Again nothing. Let's call some friends in the business in Israel. Who ? Nobody ever heard of Mr. Douhan. Okay... it's a (bad) joke. Clear. But why is the romanian press not asking themselves all of the above questions ? Shouldn't some journalistic alarmbells start ringing ? Did any journalist call us to find out what we know about it ? Nope. Okay, whatever. April 6... the journalists start 'telling us' ... it's U2, it's AC/DC .. AC/DC is 100% sure. Guns & Roses also ! Hmmmm.. Okay, better be safe than sorry. I e-mail AC/DC's agent. Immediate e-mail back : '100% not true. Try to find out more. We'll deal with it.' Okay, we gather all the info we can. Find out that PLAYCOOL SRL was set up on March 16, 2009 , has one shareholder and a founding capital of 200 Lei. Give all the info to AC/DC's agent. April 7, I leave for Belgium to get together with my family to celebrate Catholic Easter. Get home late on April 12. News! AC/DC officialy announced ! City full of posters ! Tickets selling like crazy ! I again inform the agent of AC/DC. Playcool chose their moment to 'run' their fraud well. They announced and started selling tickets in the catholic easter weekend when everybody in the west (agent, band, management, it-people, website hosts,...) is on holiday and not too much can be done from their end. I try to call Cristi Busuioc (One Events) to warn him (as I do believe that HE is innocent and is just being used by 'PlayCool'). He's in a meeting. I send him an sms to call me back after the meeting. He forgets. I call the people from TICKETPOINT. I warn them. I tell them NOT to pay any more ticketing money to PlayCool as I have solid information that this is a well prepared hoax to 'take the money and run'. TICKETPOINT says they will follow my advice. Luckily they did ! They promised me that all ticket buyers will get their money back! Great ! April 14 (yesterday), Cristi Busuioc gets in touch with CAA and finds out for himself that AC/DC has no intention to play any festival (or other show) in Romania this year. He's shocked. The 'official pressrelease' by PlayCool 'i.e. the festival has been 'amanat'' is just another lie. There will be no Bucharest Rock Arena organised by PlayCool ! Cristi makes it very clear in an official statement on Realitatea. He is now considering sueing his 'partners'. Waste of time Cristi. Go to the police. These are crooks. They should be put behind bars and/or never again be allowed to set a foot on Romanian soil! So... smart guys from Playcool huh. They played it cool indeed. Wanted to make some quick money and I am soooooooo happy that TICKETPOINT followed our advice and did not pay them the (majority) of the collected ticket money (Thx Andrei !). At least that !! But WHY, dear music journalists and well informed bloggers, WHY are you SO EAGER to give NEWS; just 'news'. UNCHECKED ! NOT CONFIRMED ON THE BANDS WEBSITE! FROM A SOURCE (PLAYCOOL) THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ! FROM A SOURCE THAT PUTS 'PINK FLOYD' ON THEIR WEBSITE AS A BAND YOU CAN VOTE FOR TO APPEAR AT THEIR FESTIVAL ! FROM A SOURCE THAT ANNOUNCES 'THE BIGGEST ROMANIAN FESTIVAL 'EVER' JUST 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE FESTIVAL ! YOU EVEN TURNED IT INTO 'THE ROMANIAN WOODSTOCK' WITHOUT THINKING TWICE ! WHY ? DO NOT ALL YOUR JOURNALISTIC ALARM BELLS RING ? SHOULDN'T THEY ??? In the meantime tickets in excess of 1.000.000 Lei (!) have been sold for this NON-Show.... And the money ALMOST left the country! I can only hope that it is a lesson for the future ! AC/DC is NOT a band that you can announce while on the OFFICIAL AC/DC site (www .acdc.com) there is no mention of this show ! 75% of the bands that you speculated on to be 'the second big international act on Bucharest Rock Arena' are NOT ON TOUR (but nobody seems to care). This is pure speculation in a stupid race to have a 'scoop' ! It's bad for the fans and thus for Romanian showbizz. Yes, I am angry... Sorry. But more than that, I am sad. We are -together with a few other serious Romanian concert promoters-working like horses to give Romanian showbizz a professional profile and I think we are doing a pretty good job in difficult circumstances, but please - media ... HELP ! Let's keep rocking, but let's stop being naive! See you at B'Estfest ? It's happening ;-) !!! Guido

...sau tamplari, sau curisti. Ca organizatori nu poti sa ii numesti. Mi-am luat 8 bilete la Belgrad sa plec impreuna cu niste prieteni pe care evident ca le-am si "praduit" cand am aflat ca vin AC/DC la Bucuresti. Credeti ca mai sunt acum bilete la Belgrad? Sa-i futa cainii din Giurgiu pe One Event si pe Play Cool si pe toti mortii lu' Dan Voiculescu si toata Antena 1 si toti muncitorii d'acolo!! Si sa nu-i sune dup'aia! Si Oancea sa se uite! Si daca au o pisica pe-acasa sa-i suga pula sobolanului meu de pe umar!!

one event este vinovata la fel ca si toti implicatii !Cum se emit domne bilete inseriate fara a avea certitudinea ca vine sau nu vine cineva? Voi chiar credeti facatura cum ca ei erau sa trimita 300000 catre sc play cool ?pai de ce au facut op fara sa il trimita? tocmai ca sa arate ca ar fi putut fi tapiti !Problema e simpla asa cum spune un ante coomentariu Era vorba de un alt CARITAS patronat de niste disperati .E criza . e foame de bani !Unii sunt in gauri financiare din care ar face orice sa iasa! Ganditi-va ! daca romanau se inghesuia sa ia bilete deci ar fi intrat bani multi asa cum au crezut xcei implicati??Pai one event ar fi facut plata sigur tot catre firma ei fantoma si apoi dupa colecta publica ,ar fi declarat pagubitilor (reteta nu e noua) ca si ei sunt pagubiti de sc play cool srl ,deci banii de aolo tre sa se returneze !Romania trezeste-te !

One Event au aflat "cu stupoare" ca festivalul pe care-l organizau nu se mai tzine :)) Si, evident, de vina sunt altzii, unii care au fugit cu banii si care nu mai raspund la telefon! Pai astia faceau impreuna un concert cu AC/DC vorbind la telefon? Hai sa fim serioshi...

adevaru este ca era cam din scurt sa vina :). Asta nu dovedeste decat amatorismul unor organizatori romani. Acum inteleg de ce vin atat de greu trupele mari in Romania, pentru ca nu sunt organizatori capabili sa organizeze evenimente mari.

@ tzepesh: Corect! De fapt,mi se pare ca One Event sunt "co-organizatori" cam la toate concertele pe care le fac...care-i ala pe care l-au facut pana acum fara sa aiba un partener? Sper sa nu alerg pe la Diverta dupa banii pentru Placebo!

Dar "seriosul" co-organizator One Event de ce nu a verificat realitatea contractului? Existau multe indicii din care un promoter competent sa devina suspicios. Acum, toata lumea (promoteri, presa, public) sufera, iar el anunta "lucruri serioase". Cum vine asta? Azi ne batem cu pumnii in piept ca aducem ac/dc si a doua zi nici usturoi n-am mancat, nici gura nu ne miroase...noi suntem organizatori seriosi... Poate, dar atunci, daca nu hotzi...incompetenti!
