Lesson 4

Lesson 4- Week 2
Gah Vin and I went down to Middle School Centre to call up few place for information.

-GCCC
-Music Mania (Australia Fair)
-Pac Fair
-Future Entertainment
-Art Centre ( <-from GCCC )

We called up the Gold Coast City Council about 4~5 times to ask about

-Hiring area
-Water
-Security
-First Aid
-Contact with the Summerdayze
-Company supporting Summerdayze
-Total Cost
-If we can put up posters anywhere
-If we can set up a ticket booth in the Shopping Centres

We found out...
-Doug Jennings Park is a state owned park
-Band amount of money
-Shop Owners’ permission of putting up posters / Try the Library
-Call up Shopping Centre managers for ticket booth
-Ticket Tec at God Coast Art Centre prints tickets
-Alcohol free event
-Event manager plan
-People from council / police for security or private companies
-Queensland ambulance for First Aid

Finally by calling up the Future Entertainment, we found out that there were approximately 25,000 people at the Summerdayze concert.

While we were contacting down in the middle school centre, Tasolwrote down some quick notes on the 4Ps that are involved in our product.

Wristbands

We needed the above information to estimate how many people fits in the park and to calculate the cost of the wristbands and the caps. I felt successful getting the information about the population. Although we wasted time calling up places and not getting any information, I think we used our time wisely. If there were two telephones, we could have split up so it takes less time but unfortunately there was only one telephone.It was really nervous to call up places and it was challenging because it takes alot of time and patience to do. I thought to myself people who have jobs like this would have tough days.
