A diabetic man slammed the organisers of the Bryan Adams concert in Mumbai after he urinated in his pants due to the lack of washroom facilities at the event. He urged the management to organise things properly before bringing down international artists.
Sheldon Aranjo, a media and entertainment professional, also shared a picture of his soiled pants as proof, saying that he had nothing to be ashamed of as he was a diabetes patient with incontinence issues.
In an open letter addressed to Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and EVA Global Events, Aranjo, said there were only three washrooms at the venue that hosted at least over 1,000 people.
"I PAID to PEE (in my pants) at the Bryan Adams concert. Shocked? you should be. While the flow of traffic into the concert was fine, the chilled Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre ensured that my bladder flow was just as good. So I made a bee line to the loo. Only to see a serpentine queue! I knew I would NEVER be able to hold that long. So I was advised to go to the other end of the pavilion!" he wrote in a post on LinkedIn.
He said that as he went over to the other washroom, he was denied entry as it was meant for the "other category".
"I had a Gold ticket. So I made a dash for the nearest tree (which meant dodging a few well meaning security guards as well). Finally, I managed to empty and "release" the pressure (but not before soiling my pants!)," Aranjo wrote.
According to him, he also heard several guests complaining about the "amateur management" of the concert. The attendees mainly complained about the long queues at the washrooms, the unnecessary hassle of loading cash onto the invite, and the food stalls at the venue, Aranjo said.
"Thankfully #BryanAdams managed to save what would have become a rather forgetful evening! This is NOT a rant. It's a CRY for help," he wrote.
