On seeing black bear on the 6th Dec I was disgusted at the lack of security/help within the venue. Particularly security guy standing to the right of stage as you look at it.Older guy.balding.glasses.
The crowd was a young crowd and at full capacity.Four guys came barging through crowd knocking groups of girls to the floor and screaming.One the guys physically attacked a girl whom went off hysterical. They where shouting heads off and holding up phones with message "got any pills".
This was right under he's nose and saw him actually look and look away as if couldn't see.It went on for a while.I also witnessed two people snorting cocaine and a guy flicking he's lighter. Clearly visible to staff.
I understand this stuff is part and parcel of gigs but for it to be blatenly ignored, I was shocked & a little disappointed as been to venue so many times.I probably wouldn't suggest sending young adults in alone.
