chat to Rock Ness organiser Jim King

[andrewandrew]

Hey so what is everyone going to ask?

I think we should all prepare a good structured list of quality questions that we all want to hear answers to

agreed?

[Fizzy2734]

What entertainment is gonna be there, PLEASE A ROCK BAND TENT.

BUT more importantly what are they doing to try to ensure a festival for next year given recent economic problems.

Is this gonna be an F5 in forum type chat?

can we asked why its been advertised as a 3 day fest?

[Kasabianite]

He should be quizzed on the shocking communication through the official website, it is an embarassingly bad site for an event which is flogging tickets at 140quid a pop.

For all that i applaud him for agreeing to do this sort of thing at all, surely a live chat 9days before the event is a bit of a waste of time. Perhaps he could be asked if this sort of thing will be done again a few months ahead of Rockness 2010 so any complaints/suggestions from this year's event can be rectified for next year. Any moans about next weeks event will be swept under the carpet.

Because its Friday, Saturday, Sunday?

Where is this live chat actually taking place!?

[_Warriors Dance_]

I'm not gona be able to be there for it unfortunatly. I don't have much to say but I want to know his reactions to the moaning posts we've been making. Someone should "cam " it. Or do a report on it lol. Get the press involved!!

the 'chat' is happening in this forum, rather than in the chatroom - this was (I'm told) Jim's choice, he was offered the chance of using the chatroom instead.

The advantage of course with it being done in the forums is that the chat remains here for posterity.

Credit to Jim King for doing this. I believe that the Rockness organisers actually listen to what the festival goers have to say. For instance the toilets in 07 were rotten, loads of folk complained. So in 08 they were immaculate. It's little things like that which make people go back to festivals.

Yeah there are a few problems to address but in the whole I feel treated well compared to other fests(cough, T)
