Z ROCK 08 UPDATE
As everyone is aware the credit crunch has been hitting all aspects
of the western worlds economy. During the last 9/10 months we have
seen events
such as Firefest, Progpower, Thunderfest and many others either cut
back or completely cancelled. Z Rock 08 is not alone and despite the
efforts of
the team behind the show this years event has been hit. As of
Thursday last week the entire Saturday was going to be pulled,
however
after consultation with the acts and other people involved the
decision was made to stage the show for the sake of the scene, the
last thing it needs is another
festival disappearing. We where on target to make a £9000 loss this
has been reduced to a possible loss of £3000 by not bringing Black n
Blue over for the show.
Before anyone points the finger, no tickets have been sold via our
site since April 22 thats 2 full weeks and sales from the outlets
have been low during that time when they should be flying. To
compensate for the loss we will be offering a £5 refund to those who
paid the full price for their Saturday ticket and £3 to those bought
theirs at the discounted rate. A simple form will be given out on
the Saturday for people to complete with details of their ticket
no's and such payments will be made when we return to our offices on
May 22.
Fridays line up is as advertised and Saturdays remains the same
minus Black n Blue, on a positive we are currently looking into the
possibility of touring Black n Blue during the autumn to support
their forthcoming album.
