All aboard the 303 bus.
It seems to be events of a certain genre and ethos though, glade, bangface, waveform..... all electronic, all ravey events.

To be fair waveform isn't exactly your normal UK Festival, it is really as close to you get as a free festival as most people are part of one of the crews or another!

And it's happening a little bit too often, IMO.

For £99? And Dreadzone?

Yeah, agreed.
Im now unable to use £80 flights to newquay, after bangface was cancelled when the council lowered sound restrictions and the sound quality became unmanageable for the organisers.

yeah but waveform seem to pay everybody in tickets and it has the highest % crew to punter I have ever seen at a festival and that's saying something. When it was in Norfolk the Q to pick up crew tickets was huge and then there were 3 people in the paying Q.

These also tend to be perceived as the most "problematic" events.

oOOps, [edit]
I'm sure Somerset council were more than happy to impose restrictions that were normal for Glasto that a small festival couldn't cope with.

Waveform was originally a spin off from Sunrise Celebration which used to have what seemed close to a 50/50 punter to crew ratio so I'm not really surprised that was the case.
The chances are a big chunk of the ticket money will have already gone out on non-refundable stuff. For a small festival I can't see how they could refund everyone unless the organisers have personal wealth to call on. If the company has other events or income streams like Live Nation or AEG or whoever then of course they can refund everyone fully. It's shit for people who purchased tickets of course.

i think you need to look at the events individually: secret promotions spent 2 years failing to make glade profitable, i was at the last one and it was somewhat sparse.
if you let most people in for free the few who paid £99 aren't exactly going to feel great, i certainly wouldn't.
a different case altogether.

Bottom line is they have tried to be legal and its been made impossible with rules and regulations, massive police cost etc. Time to go back to free parties!
