Review of Sunbourne Festival x Tranzmission x Garage Nation @ Hainault

Overall rating: 2.5 Verified review

Security need FiringšŸ˜”Been going this festival for years but how you're security treated my husband is not acceptable, he had to go hospital where they bruised his private area so bad, all day he was getting poor treatment, never had this problem from any security at any festival but these was blatant Racist imo spilled out my water at the door, the VIP treatment was terrible & not sure if I would return to this festival, you have ruined Tranzmission for my partner & myself, even when the big gust of wind blew everything over the fence instead of letting my husband look for his hat after explaining what happened, instead they try to kick him out of the festival, they let me go to look but when they come back they searched me rough again like seriously wtf Who are these Security team?

Review of South East Soul, Reggae & Ska Festival

Overall rating: 4.5 Verified review

The upsides to the Soul, Reggae and Ska festival was: (A)The music which featured old-school tunes that I grew up with which is always a plus. (B)The atmosphere had a friendly party vibe which was well appreciated as the weather was typical festival weather a (washout). (C)Ticket prices were extremely reasonable especially as me and the Misses also booked car parking.

The downside to the event from my POV was that there was no prior warning either in the advertising or at the venue that strobe lighting would be used once it got dark, I found it to be so uncomfortable that we had to leave (much to the disappointment) of my wife, before the final act.

Review of AWOL at Tranzmission 2024

Overall rating: 3 Verified review

Music and line up of dnb artists was absolutely wicked the venue was rubbish ! Would have been better at hainault forest. The drinks pricing was an absolute joke !! Way over priced then last year ! Also the vip ticket i bought for better toilets and bar was not worth it only 2 toilets in the vip area and long waiting time as everyone was pushing into the line the vip bar was way to small i paid that lil bit more for a better time and having some kind of seating but was very disappointed by this

Review of Tranzmission Festival x Sunbourne @ Hainault

Overall rating: 2

The event overall was disappointing! My friend had purchased normal tickets, but I managed to pay for a VIP upgrade when I reached the front of the queue. I was told that there were proper toilets and a separate bar, only to be greeted with two portaloos and a shabby bar, which ran out of water very quickly! The female bouncers were disgustingly rude and obnoxious when searching your bags, and unnecessarily confiscated items. The main reason I attended was for the old jungle AWOL sets; however, I heard none of these. It was just very heavy drum & bass, hence why I spent most of my time in the garage tent. I feel cheated by the whole event!

I paid for VIP tickets, but am at a loss as to what I actually paid for!! A small area set aside, 2 toilets (one of which was stuck shut for some time) and plainly not enough chairs for the amount of tickets sold!!??
I do believe that the drinks and food prices are likely to put people off going to many more of these events. Maybe the organisers should consider lowering the ground rent prices for the pitches, then, the pricing for the food and drink could be more reasonable.
Music was amazing.

Review of Tranzmission Festival x Sunbourne @ Hainault

Overall rating: 2 Verified review

What was that? very disappointing. No old school stage, I like the jungle rolling, not stop/start with wannabe rappers ruining every tune. No big top, no atmosphere, not edgy just no atmosphere! Still no refund from lyte. Assume original event was cancelled and this tin pot event was put on instead? Feel like i've been mugged right off.
