SO WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE AT WGT
First let me make it quite clear that this page is not for bitching or sniping at the festival organisers. This page is designed to help the
organisers maybe make a few changes to the festival that would improve peoples experiences. I will publish issues here along with
any perceived mitigating solutions that you recommend to resolve the issues...

The suggestions listed below have come from readers of this website (there is no promise of a solution, I am not an organiser).

So you want to add something to this page?
Send me an email with the issue that you think exists at 'last years' WGT, along with your suggested solution to

ISSUE
SOLUTION
2009
1
Festival organisers not announcing bands that are playing at
the next WGT till Feb...this means that those booking hotels
and flights cannot pick up bargains (and reduces the amount of
people who will travel to the festival). A direct cause of  the delay
is that many people are booking to go to other festivals (that
have announced their line up such as Amphi, Mera Luna and
Summer Darkness).
Festival organisers should start announcing bands from the
December (or as soon as possible) before WGT to give people
who need to travel long distance the chance to book cheaper
hotels and flights.

1*
Not enough happening on the Friday of the WGT Festival
Have more bands playing on the Friday of the Festival at more
of the venues at an earlier starting time. Maybe an opening
show at the Agra or another large venue.
2*
Not enough bands playing on the Monday of the WGT Festival
Have more bands playing on the Monday of the Festival at more
of the venues
3*
The heat in Werk II when bands are playing
Keep the rolling back door open when bands are playing as the
heat is too much for many people to handle
4
Similar genre headlining bands playing at the same time at
different venues. Having Bands like Suicide Commando
playing at one venue whilst Grendel and Kiew play at another is
simply criminal.
Could the organisers please allow similar headlining bands (of
the same genre) to play on different days of the festival
5
Disabled persons access to venues
More effort needs to be put into access for disabled people at
all the venues, along with designated areas for these people to
sit to view the bands.
6
Not enough toilets at the Agra (Halle 2). This is clearly a major
problem, There are only two Portaloo (Dixi) cabins for
7000-9000 people. The female toilets only have three cubicles
(times two) and the male Toilets are stuck with one cubical and
4 urinals (times two). The Queues were huge, and I waited in
line for over twenty minutes to have a pee, everybody was
complaining and many people took to using the outside area
as large toilet, many girls were squatting between the trees
peeing, and men were using the wall. The provided toilets are
not good enough for the amount of people, there should be at
least twice as many toilets (especially as the area is now big
enough to house them)
More Toilets need to be provided to reduce the time spent in
queues when the venue is full. The Agra is the showcase site
for the festival, people travel from all over the world to come to
the best Goth festival in the world to probably see at least one
of the Premier bands that will headline the stage at Halle 2. Its
disappointing to wait in a queue waiting to use the toilet (to
answer a call of nature) rather than seeing the band that you
have come to see. Its vital that the organisers invest in renting
more toilets for WGT 2009.
