Aag Alive ’09 Takes Place Late Night, Sharjah, 13th Dec 09

Update

The concert took place late at night. They didn’t live telecast. Pictures here.

Originial

The much awaited concert, which had already changed lots of destinations to rock our souls out has again been delayed. While the unprofessional organizers and event-managers were ruining the concerts in Pakistan, people had put their faith in Aag Alive since the event was managed by none other than Aag Tv.

The event has been delayed now for the 4th time starting from Lahore, Karachi, Dubai and then Sharjah. The first two delays were to move the concert out of Pakistan for security reasons. The event was then shifted to Dubai so that it may take place with “peace”. Right at the time of the event it rained heavily and the concert couldn’t take place. Even though, it was the responsibility of the management to make sure that no such mishap happens, most of the viewers still happened to forgive them since the event was delayed and not canceled.

KoolMuzone and some other websites kept the people updated with what has been happening and why the event isn’t being telecasted, but Aag took no responsibility to tell that to their viewers through their channel, website or through any means. I personally sent couple of emails to Aag alive team but none of them were responded. Their website wasn’t updated and the event just ghost-disappeared for most of the people who were relying on the mass media like TVs and papers. Those who were relying on internet were well-updated by music blogs.

Later that night, based on couple of confirmations, we came to know that the concert has now been shifted to Sharjah and will be happening on 13th of December at 6 PM PST. We informed as much people as we could via emails, Twitter, Facebook and our blog. But again, Aag wasn’t responsible enough to inform people about it. By 6 o’ clock update came over event’s Facebook group that Pakistanis can enter the event for free. The free entry was probably to let in as much crowd as possible since less people appeared at the venue. By 8:30 the concert STILL hadn’t begun and people had went crazy and started expressing their anger about Aag team on our Facebook page.

Aag Alive also disturbed the concert schedules of many of the artists. Jal had to leave for India while Noori and Atif had to perform at Lahore.

Some of the comments people have left for Aag team.

– This concert’s a disaster

– Come on guys we all should laugh out loud πŸ˜€ atleast humain “DUNYA DEKHAY GEE”

– Screw this concert all in all it has just been a waste of our time…not to mention all of the singers time..not to mention the mental stress to the singers, the management, and the sponsers:/ soooo stupid.

– Aag hy tu agay barho laikin paaani hee paani tu phir! I fink aag walay shud change ther slogan to somfin related to paaani buahaha

– The online team omg, hats off to ya’ll! πŸ™‚ Been posting and updating all this time. Keeping everyone “AAG ALIVE” πŸ˜€ Now I have no regrets that I couldn’t make it there tonight. Uff, so much chaos/confusion! Its just very….. SAD.

– You going for only a POST ? I am planning to write a complete FEATURE (akhbar-e-jehan wala :p ) on the event, starting from October,2009 till today. Postponing an event – not just an ordinary event , a mega event – 4 times can’t be forgotten.

I am banging my head on the table. πŸ™

–Β  Itna aagay barhay,logon ko itna bharkaya, aakhir mein kitna pani aaya, k hadiqa ne hamein facebook per bataya πŸ˜‰

– Aag to ussi din bhuj gayi thi jis din barish hui thi… ye to ek halki si chingaari bachi thi… aaj wo bhi bhuj gayi!!! πŸ™

– Barish ke saamne Aag ka kya muqabla

– GEO Network however has the audacity to tell everyone that they are the best. Their real focus is publicity not content and they are rather good at it!

– Waisay here in Abu Dhabi, Coldplay’s concert wasn’t canceled despite the weather. Heavy downpour. I’m sure many of those who went know about it. Khair, maybe Aag walay can learn something from this? (:

– fire records could hav made use of weather forecasting…?

– OH God… is say acha tou concert Pak main he hojata… :$

– lolx….ab to aadat see ha hum ko yah sunnnay ki πŸ˜›

– AAG TV a lame channel!

– How long ?? any updates ?? these people really need some perfectionism in their work, i mean, in such a grand event, u can’t afford to ignore time punctuality !

– Yes, definitely mate ! They lack in professionalism; but let’s just hope it turns out to be worth all the waiting πŸ™‚

– AAGADEATH 09 Concert…Zamaney neh dekh liya dunya kah sab seh bakwas concert :P:D

Happy Birthday Dr. Yezdani, COO Fire Records πŸ™‚
