No doubt fans cause trouble at Ellen show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 21 May 2009
No Doubt fans caused chaos on the set of ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ on Monday, after being turned away from an open air gig being performed by the band for the TV programme.
To be fair, it sounds as though they had some cause for complaint; many loyal fans waited more than seven hours in the sweltering California heat to enter, and despite the fact that they all had reserved tickets, around five hundred of the would-be gig goers were refused entry to the performance. One fan told Perez Hilton: “At 4:15pm an Ellen rep with tons of police came out to say they had underestimated how many people could fit in the venue and (told us to) go home”.
Surely that should be ‘overestimated’…? Well, anyway, it seems that the fans who made it to the concert didn’t have much fun either, one of the ‘lucky’ few saying: “My nose started bleeding and no one even bothered to see if I was OK. The security guy just gave me a napkin. Two other girls fainted because of the heat”.
