INCIDENT	Fri 14 Oct
HEADLINE	David Guetta Concert
Josh [16] was fortunate enough to get a ticket to the David Guetta concert and has been dreaming about the event ever since. .... just how awesome could "the most awesome night ever" really be? Josh lives in Durban but family friends would take him up to JHB - they too were so excited for the show. On Friday afternoon, the DJ on 5fm advised "IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 18 DONT EVEN THINK OF GOING, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN, YOU WILL BE STOPPED!". Well, Josh was gutted. When we booked the ticket on Computicket we had not noticed the age restriction - this is a separate complaint as it appears pretty much as small print - surely something as material as this should be more prominent?. Anyway, he couldn't risk the cost of driving to JHB only to find he was too young to go in, so he had to abandon his dream. He was devastated to say the least. David Guetta is his hero and this was his only chance to see him live. Guess what - it turns out there was no control over access and age was of no interest to the organisers! Many of Josh's friends had an awesome night at the show! 5FM made too much fuss about age, Computicket too little and the organisers none at all ! Very annoying!
