Guns N’ Roses delivered a stellar 3-hour performance at the Changi Exhibition Centre last night (Feb 25) to a crowd of 50,000 but that can’t be said true for its organisers LAMC Productions.

Their Facebook page has been inundated with complaints from the public for the “nightmare” organisation, as some commentators put it.

Pearl Ang posted her comment: “The logistics was phenomenally a NIGHTMARE.”

LAMC has noticed the complaints and posted that they “pledge to refund the unspent RFID credits.” But their post has not sit well with many.

Those who bought tickets to the concert got RFID wristbands that allows for cash top-ups so that actual money need not be exchanged at the venue.

Unfortunately, concert-goers spent a lot of their time lining up – from topping up their credits, to separate food and drinks lines, toilet queues, merchandise queues, entry into and exit from the venue as well as lining up for the shuttle buses.

There seemed to be more waiting in line than actual enjoyment of the concert.

Melinda Wong said she “had to miss parts of the concert just for all this lining up.”

What made it worse was after all that waiting in line, drinks and food ran out, and there was no way to get refunds back for unused credit.

Anthony Horsnell wants an explanation:

Safety also seemed to be an issue for Hanis Zakaria:

Despite the many complaints, there were some who had a better experience than most.

Jessie Cheah is one of them:

For this concert-goer who bought a Pen A ticket and still has $50 unused credit in her RFID wristband, the bittersweet experience has tainted the amazing performance Guns N’ Roses did.
