Down with Rock in Rio System

My story is an example of what happened with most people when they tried to buy Rock in Rio's tickets. Since 10pm people were sleeping by the doors waiting for one of the 800 keys to buy tickets. At 5am, the line had about 400 citizens and growing, but no one responsible by the event was to be found, just the mall security guards. In fear of the line been cut by who would arrive later, some of the present organized a list with the name and the ID number of everyone in a very specific way that anyone of the event could use without problems
At 9am someone of the event arrived, the line was about 1200 citizens. Then they told us that just 500 keys would be distributed. We tried to give that list and suggest using it on the entrance, but they denied and we were forced to fight with each other for a spot on the line. More than 250 persons jumped the line revolting those who had arrived earlier and a big mess started. Then they called the cops, and more security. The result was a very unfair ticket buying, letting a lot of people who had arrived hours before without tickets and a lot who had arrived just a couple of minutes before with it.
We all want you here, but in the middle of all confusion and fights for spots I decided to make my movement against Rock In Rio. Why they needed to expend so much in security to repress the angry mob? It couldve been easily solved with just 2 employees doing an official list with the 500 who arrived early. Why they needed to take out more than 30\% of the keys? That was just greed, those 30\% were sold as a 2є lot, amplifying the profits of the event.
Rock In Rio, as an event, so far has proved its lack of planning and administration. The tickets sold on the internet were less than 20\% of the total. Sum it up with the few ticket booths in only two cities of the fifth largest country in the world, and keys for tickets ending up so early, we have people who couldnt leave their work or schools, handicapped and elderly people who couldnt buy a ticket.
Without any power to fight back, me and other Brazilians made this petition in hope this arrive in your hands before the show. We know your band don't want to make this just for people have fun, and since the birth of the band all the word have been benefited with the ideals diffused by your songs and the greatest prize you guys can have from your fans is far away from money or material things, its so strong that I can't put it in words.
Now we are the ones who are trying to instigate the revolt. Please, don't play at an event that is against all the ideals you guys had expended so much time to spread around the world....
