To have the crowd there, they need some kind of entertainment's licence. Because the incident happened on Friday night, there was no way they could get a licence for the Saturday night at short notice.

I don't regard that as a valid excuse for them. TV companies worth there salt plan for the unexpected. Clearly they had not done so this time. They should cater for the possibility of a major technical hitch and yes that would include obtaining a licence in advance to cover for the unexpected as neccessary. As I said another downer for BB4 that could have been avoided.
