Waited till first ad break to see if they would have anything to announce re the debacle that was OCC Asutralia, but turned it off when nothing mentioned. Not interested to watch American Chopper anymore, just look at it now and think "arrogance". Wonder how many others have tuned out this week?

As OCC are staying with Russell Crowe for a while during their visit and they are working with him for the new aussie themed bike I wonder how Russell would feel if he knew that Pauly junior threw the Souths jersey he gave him away to the crowd knowing how Russell feels about his Souths team.

This way we all can have a voice.

I and my husband flew down from Queensland to see his favourite tv show ... a grand total of $1500 with tickets, flights and accomodation. We met a couple from Townsville who spent nearly $2000 getting there. We were all totally disappointed by what happened so as soon as we got home at 8pm on Sunday night, we all started emailing. I will put a copy of the email we sent to Chugg, OCC, Ticketek, Sydney Olympic Park (we actually got an email back from them the next day), Discovery and Foxtel. Count me in on the refund fight ... I realise I can't make them pay the total cost but a ticket refund would be nice. (I have a totally sore sunburn and a cold from the weather to show for it lol).

The email I sent is as follows:
I am writing to complain about the utter disgrace that your so called event actually was. We spent over $1000 to come to Sydney from Queensland to see our fav. tv show and what did we get????

We got to stand in the scorching sun for an hour and a half to get through the gate.

We had to wait in line for a hour and a half to get a bottle of cold water

We had to wait nearly 2 hours to get a hamburger.

We saw 4 bikes made by OCC, that looked like they were rolled off the highway - and not even new bikes they'd made, bikes from the first series.

We sat for 7 hours in first the scorching sun and then pouring rain to see the OCC boys - we didn't expect much from them themselves, but we did expect to see a proper bike show with Australian made choppers and custom motorcycles.

This event was a disgrace, poorly organised and poorly executed. The worst part was watching the OCC boys all day waving from their nice comfortable air-conditioned hotel suite.

Even though we fully realise that the OCC boys were not in charge of the event and really didn't have any say in how the event was run, we will be emailing them, the discovery channel, foxtel and anyone else we can think of.

It's also a pity that the impression they will have got from a very hostile, frustrated crowd will be how they remember Australia. This is totally your fault. Had we been able to locate any management on the day, we would have demanded a full refund on our tickets.

Oh and ps I have some excellent video footage of Paul, Mike and Vinnie hanging over the balcony of their hotel room .... that zoom feature has them right up close, like I was standing in front of them .....

Quite honestly it's a disgrace that this has been allowed to happen at all. As mentioned in 1 of my earlier posts (sorry bout the mistakes I was kinda pissed off to say the least-and yes we still are) We should have a right to a refund.

* What was advertised was not on display or in childrens rides case....didn't exist

* We paid for items that were not received

* We paid for entertainment

* WE PAID FOR A GOOD DAY OUT ...AND I MUST ADD US AUSSIES MADE THE BEST OF A VERY BAD DAY...from what I saw aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

The hat has a 'cheap sticker it instead of saying OCC it says "American Chopper'

Um... didn't we pay to see a show named Orange County Choppers Show ???? Why then were our tickets calling it American Choppers Show?

Not one item in the showbag *which was obtained by whining my behind off once at the Novotel and the guy feeling sorry for me. You'd also think that the 'Showbag would have contained at least 1 object with their Logo ? noooo and apparently they ran out of their own merchandise to sell aswel.

When I tried to argue saying "no you keep your bag" (thinking he was another VIP like myself the blonde girl just turned to me and said "Oh don't worry he knows the promoters and can get as many as he needs"

Oh I was told they sold out...???

I hope ur reading this OCC....btw i used a different site to get their details.
