Eminem's boss responds to criticism: "This is the first step principle that applies

Eminem's concert at Voldsløkka in Oslo was widely criticized publicly and sold 55,000 tickets in six minutes in February.

Dagbladet reported that neighbors who lived near the arena reacted strongly to Eminem's photo ban. which allowed them to visit Pro Sec's security guards. Others contacted the Consumers Council because they were mistaken in buying expensive gold tickets, but found themselves far from the stage and the superstar.

Director of the Atomic Soul booking company and general manager of the Eminem concert, Peer Osmundsvaag, has so far said little about the debate that has erupted around the event in the media and on the facebook wall of the event.

– Seek to Hear

But he now tells Dagbladet that he thinks he has managed the huge event, despite the criticism.

– It's a quest to hear that they perceive it, but ours Measures were dictated by security. We did not have any serious event on Saturday despite 55,000 people in one place, "said Osmundsvaag.

When the public moved into the concert area from 3 pm, they were greeted by a security fence.There were those who had bought a ticket for 1495 crowns to drop.

We have a marker

All the way planned and placed there to relieve the audience closest to the scene but that It should be off was not Osmundsvag

– Therefore, this barrier was not drawn on the site map sent to the guests. As the innermost area could accommodate up to 3,000 people, it was decided from time to time to close it and set up a system for those who were there first. As a result, the guards looked and the guests found a marker on the tape so that they could go to the bathroom, eat and drink and come back, says the boss Atomic Soul

The Golden Circle region had a capacity of 14,000 audiences

– this is the first step principle applicable to such a concert. The location of those who stood further behind the circle of gold had been similar, barrier or not, because they arrived too late. I mean, we have informed you that you should meet early. Osmundsvaag

– Without checking how many people were in the last barrier, others could see other consequences, given the hot weather. Because people do not leave such a mail, so when they get there, they have to have the opportunity to eat and drink and go to bed, he continues.

– Would come out with info

A number of people told Dagbladet The Pro Sec Guards did not let them into the most intimate circle on the pretext that the area was reserved for those who had tickets in diamond circle, but there has never been any tickets on sale with this name. he's opposed to Dagbladet to acknowledge the responsibility of giving this message, which after all the sun marks has caused great confusion and irritation among the public.

– Aircraft knew us it would be so, we would have provided information that the innermost barrier existed in advance but the decision to close it was taken there to then stop the public after 3,000 people were crossed. Ette was the safest solution. There were very few who had to be transported over the barriers in front of the stage on Saturday because of the pressure, and then we managed to arrange something safely. Police feedback is very good, says Osmundsvaag

– Well-pleased

He believes the complaints relate to the fact that a lot of spectators n & # 39, were not particularly concerted. He estimates that 70% visited foreigners.

– We are, however, very satisfied with the way this has happened and we have added soul, skin and hair so that people can have a good experience. Let's see how we can do better next time

– How do you see the complaints sent to the Consumer Council?

– We take this directly with the Consumer Council and stay in touch with them, so I take it easily. Those who bought the Golden Circle ticket had it. Without barriers, however, we had damage, so it was the least of two

– Takes the fight each time

The platinum tickets of the concert, which some have bought up to $ 2900, are controlled by the seller. Ticketmaster. The price increases when the demand is high, and in practice these are gold circle notes, only at much higher prices, set by Ticketmaster.

– How did you work with the strict prohibition of photo? He came from the camera to Eminem and we take the game every time, but this time it was completely out of order. The decision was at the highest level.
