Awful company which I experienced from

Awful company which I experienced from the Liam Gallagher Knebworth concert 3 hours to get out of the car park 1 member off staff to wave them out 2 hours moved 10 meters I had to sleep for an hour to let the traffic chaos calm down The organisers want to be a shamed obvs purse strings over staff allocated numbers and safety Also not enough vendors for food

Shambolic

If I could this company -100 I would appalling have no clue on disability pure shocking the way they are so disorganised and treat disabled can t believe they go under the bbc weekend Verbally abused discriminated put through appalling less favourable treatment

A genuine disgrace

A genuine disgrace Attended a festival in Crystal Palace park in July 1 No shaded areas provided at all in the middle of the hottest summer on record Only way to escape the blazing heat was sheltering behind bins signs etc There was some tree cover however that was only for VIPS and we had to pay in order to get there 2 No access to drinking water The water from the provided fountains was literally like bath water It was horrendous 3 x1 Drinks tent to cater to thousands of people There were 60 min wait times just for bottled water largely stood directly in the sun 4 6 each for TINS of Budweiser It s 15 for x18 in the Tescos 2 minutes walk away I have emailed called Festival Republic roughly 15 times and yet to receive an acknowledgement let alone an apology Disgusting I didn t think companies would be able to run like this in 2022

Hired a transphobic homophobic shuttlebus driver

Hired a transphobic homophobic shuttle bus driver who owned the main taxi company during event at an event where most of the performers where drag queens absolutely shocking All sorts of unprovoked abuse was hurled around during the entire Wilderness event terms I can t even share on here as they are so un PC After seeing their boss do this all the taxi drivers soon followed This left the drag queens exposed to huge amounts of verbal abuse mockery and more These guys don t keep any sort of complaint logs so despite me passing this on to multiple people in event nothing will get done

Awful company

Awful company driven by greed Throwing perfectly good tents into the rubbish when they could be donated to those who have lost there accommodation Shame on them altogether Money talks

Cannot meet the needs of people with access requirements

Terrible - applied for access arrangements months in advance and it s now less than a week before the event and I have no idea if I can go or not as they haven t replied to my access request Have sent two emails to ask for an update called twice got voicemail both times and sent a request via the online form Absolutely terrible Wishing I d not bought a ticket as I m so anxious about if I ll be able to go or not and if I need to book transport and everything else that it s been taking over my thoughts for the last couple of weeks They have no idea how to support neurodivergent people with access requests and should not offer a service they cannot fulfill

Worst festival events company

Worst festival events company I have ever worked for they put mine and thousands of peoples lives at risk at download festival this year The lack of general common knowledge was appalling so many health and safety violations it was shocking The multitude of complaints and bad reviews speak for themselves they re awful FR and Live Nation do not care about peoples well-beings and will happily put you at serious risk

Festival Republic shouldn t be allowed to organise anything

Greedy money grabbing Melvin Benn has done more to ruin UK festivals than anyone else Pulp on 1st July at Finsbury was a disaster never seen such long queues for bars rude aggressive security dangerous exits points audience treated like cattle in pens Don t go to anything organised by Festival Republic a nasty vile company
