| Comment | Yeah, and if your favourite artist is playing X Festival, because X Festival can afford to fly a headliner in since they're stiffing everybody else, ultimately that helps nobody. It distorts the playing field and puts the festivals who do pay their bills at a real disadvantage when it comes to booking acts.
Also plenty of people booked tickets to Playground because they wanted to see Kellis, or Hot Chip... It seems clear that those weren't last-minute cancellations from Covid or other illness. Looks very much like a "bait and switch".
Not to mention all the punters who can't get refunds on their wristband balances. (And why is that even a thing, rather than just taking contactless payments directly?)
The only solution is for punters to stop giving their money to these muppets. |
