Was absolutely devastated by my experience last friday for SYSTEM, I've been going to this event at various venues for years now, and it is always the highlight of my month when it's on - The security at the door were extremely rude to me and my girlfriend, I understand its protocol to be thorough but to be treated like cattle and to be personally insulted is quite out of the ordinary for me, as a serial club goer.
The real problem was that both me and my girlfriend enjoyed the gig for a matter of five minutes, before security grabbed us and threw us out - why? Because I took it upon myself to let the cloakroom staff know that they were being EXTREMELY rude, one particular member of the staff did not speak to us for five minutes and left us standing right there (probably because the cloakroom wasn't open yet, but could we get that information relayed verbally? no), When we expressed to him that his behaviour wasn't particularly professional, he thought it was appropriate to stare at my girlfriend, it was unbelievably weird, and rightfully so i told him off for it- Apparently expressing discontent at such treatment is worthy of being kicked out.
I have never been kicked out of a club, in my entire life, and i'm used to extremely strict policy at the door, such as Fabric/Electric/Cable. There are entire forum threads dedicated to this particular event, and looking back at the reviews, past the obvious shills, it is obvious that i'm not the only one complaining.
Such a sorry state of affairs that this place has been run to the ground, i used to love the vibe, but it seems the security and the staff have been allowed to rule with an iron fist, much to the detriment of anyone simply wanting to have a good time without being accosted.
In short, this place has been ruined by security and staff, all experience a power trip of epic proportions.
