Starting today, anyone with a general admission or VIP pass for the Pemberton Music Festival can exchange it for a Tall Tree Festival ticket.
Pemberton Music Festival 2017 was cancelled last week after the company filed for bankruptcy and ticket holders were told they would not be receiving refunds.
Tall Tree Music Festival takes place June 23-26, 2017 atop Browns Mountain in Port Renfrew and will be celebrating their 8th year this summer.
“Tall Tree believes strongly in the bringing together of people and music to celebrate life on the west coast,” comments Emmalee Brunt, PR & Communications Manager for Tall Tree Music Festival.
“Following the news of Pemberton’s cancellation. Notably, that ticket holder would not receive a refund; festival organizers decided to offer a ticket – for – ticket exchange to provide those who suddenly found themselves out of pocket and without a festival experience this summer.”
Tall Tree Music Festival says it understands the inherent challenges operating multi-day festivals and sincerely empathizes with the organizers of Pemberton Music Festival; however, they do not agree with a ‘no-refunds policy’ on a cancelled event.
“In order to keep the industry alive in BC, event organizers need to instil confidence in attendees so that they maintain their interest and faith in outdoor festivals for years to come.”
