Bids for Gold Coast Big Day Out Tickets

A Slap in the Face for Genuine Fans?

An old news article states that organizers of the 2007 Big Day Out have canceled tickets sold by Online Scalpers. Who do they think they are punishing? The article also says that ebay was taking legal action in the Federal Court over the Big Day Out’s new anti-scalping ticket policy.

Well as it turns out, ebay won the case because it was found that ticket conditions were misleading and deceptive under the Trade Practices Act.

The terms and conditions for the sale of Big Day Out 2009 tickets state that “the Promoter reserves the right to cancel the ticket without a refund”. Maybe they are going to hire more staff this year to police Online auctions and newspaper classifieds in order to catch buyers and cancel their tickets again

Imagine showing up to the Big day Out Music Festival all excited with genuine tickets that you have paid for, and the Promoters don’t let you in! Would you blame the scalper, or would you say that the Promoters of Big Day Out are against Free Enterprise?

Don’t get me wrong, I really do think it sucks that fans pay through the nose for scalped tickets. What gets up my nose is the backward way they go about trying to do something about it, by dissapointing genuine fans who paid through the nose!

People will be traveling from far and wide, from country and regional areas. I think these ticket holders are holders of genuine tickets and should not be punished due to participating in the Free Enterprise system.

The flip side of all this is if nobody ever buys tickets from scalpers, the scalpers themselves would stop buying the tickets.

A construction worker told me yesterday that after seeing co-workers suffering from bleeding noses, nasty coughs, and angry skin rashes, he decided to do the right thing and not return to the Mining Construction site located at Mt Isa Queensland after his scheduled R&R.

Required PPE In Some Areas

The man also concludes that there could be a heavy-metal poisoning risk due to the mandatory blood testing conducted at the companies expense on all workers. It is reported that lead, copper and zinc levels are so high that sweeping or blowing is prohibited. (Tell that to the wind!)

It is also reported that on this particular mining construction site, 60 workers have quit in the last 150 days and that this could be the reason why they have stopped issuing winter PPE jackets even though it is pretty cold in the morning.

Workplace bullying such as name-calling, mocking and embarrassing (pussie, harden-up, making fun in front of peers etc) of blokes who report health concerns and injuries have also been reported.
