update, regarding refund

ROCK4LIFE
INFORMATION LETTER



Dear Ticket Holder,

As you can imagine it is taking considerable time to administer, collate all the information to enable us to return peoples money, after the collapse of the ROCK4 LIFE festival.

The festival collapsed due to lack of ticket sales and monies being held in the I Med system are not available for 6/8 weeks.

The company has taken advice from various sources , but after advice from Bill Young of Ritson accountants we have decided to collect in all the monies due Rock 4 Life as the cost of using an administrator would eat into the ticket monies considerably which would lessen the amount we could pay back to out ticket purchasers.

We are at present reclaiming monies from our ticketing agents, and deposits from bands, this as I am sure you can appreciated takes time.

Once we have collected all monies due to the company, we will be issuing refunds by cheque to all parties who purchased Rock 4 Life tickets,
We would anticipate having all refunds paid to ticket holders within the next 8/12 weeks,
We would like to apologies for the lack of information, initially, but hope this letter of explanation helps the situation and eases your frustrations.
I would ask as a matter of courtesy NOT TO CALL the following, as these were ticketing outlets and have nothing to do with the running of Rock 4life.

These ticketing outlets are as follows:
Highland Hospice, NO27 bar Restaurant,
Online ticketing IRIS, Eden Court Theater, Bog Bain Farm,
Or any private ticket vendor.

None of these companies will be able to assist you with any further information

Should you wish to clarify matters please email caledonianproductions@googlemail.com and we will respond, all phone lines are un- manned so that we can complete the task of refunding your money.

...which would lessen the amount we could pay back to out ticket purchasers...

Surely the ticket purchasers must get a FULL refund, not subsidise the failure of the event to happen :eek: - that must fall on the shoulders of the organisers who would (or should) have insurance to cover every scenario?

Emailed them re position on why we may not get full refunds, at the googlemail address in the notice on their website, on 9 May and no response.

Went on to the website just now and their is now a "letter to creditors" dated with tomorrows date.

Absolutely disgraceful.
NB the dates.

"The company ceased to trade on 23rd April 2010"

So while they were spinning the following;

"call 01463 711482 and we will respond - all other phone lines are un-manned so that we can complete the task of refunding your money. "

They had already planned VOLUNTARY liquidation.
