They've blamed the municipality and the fans themselves for the traffic problems experienced at the Cape Town leg of The Killers' tour of South Africa... but in their "formal" statement, Big Concerts seem to have glossed over the reasons and stated that it was a combination of the nature of the event and the road network around the venue.

Despite a rigorous planning and risk assessment process conducted by the organisers of the concert and regional traffic authorities, the road network around the venue was unable to handle the sheer volume of traffic congestion, which resulted from the event.

This was the first time that the venue had been used to host an event of this size. As a consequence of last night's concert, the experience gained by the organisers will surely be valuable for future events at Val de Vie and other locations in the area.

Additional traffic officers and parking ushers were called in to assist with the load challenge and everything possible was done to untangle the unfortunate gridlock.

It appears from reports that most ticket holders made it in time to see the Killers performance, despite the regrettable and unexpected traffic challenges that they experienced.

Big Concerts has requested that all complaints and comments be addressed to the organizing team by email at info@bigconcerts.co.za, in order to allow for the experience of fans to be considered and improved on for future concerts.

What do you think? Is this apology enough? Will you support Big Concerts ventures in the future? Have your say below!
