Blastfest 2017 canceled 3 weeks before event[views:4315][posts:3]___________________________________ [Feb 2,2017 9:41am - Alx_Casket ""] Bergen: Blastfest canceling the festival because of poor advance sales. We had a board meeting yesterday. Where we realized that it was sold too small tickets. We are not allowed to drive on the creditor's expense, so we had no choice. But it is with a heavy heart that the festival will be closed, says Longva Støl. We've paid out in advance to all bands. This money is lost. It revolves around several hundred thousand kroner. We will also pay back money to people who have already bought tickets. - Why did you then get your tickets in advance? - I will not speculate. Blast Fest has enough had a poor reputation in the past year. And it's been poor ticket sales earlier and. We tried to save the festival and reputation, but the audience would obviously not have a metal festival in Bergen. We must accept the consequences, says Longva Støl. Well fuck, my first trip to Norway is going to be a bit different than expected. |
