the first day was halted for at least a hour and a hslf, and the second day didnt even make it halfway before it was cancelled
the drink tickets were super expensive and and when the event was cancelled on the second day nobody was issued a refund for their purchases. i saw a guy buy $150 worth of drink tickets only to have a veld employee tell him that veld had been cancelled due to an incoming storm and that the drink booth was closed. he never got his money as far as i know, just got stuck with a bunch of useless tickets.
also the advertising said that the event was going to happen rain or shine...clearly that wasnt the case. if i had kown they would have stopped it in the rain, i never would have paid $220 to go to less then one day of a music festival. caribanna is free and pretty dam wild, and it happens every year regardless of weather, and they have steel pans and and all kinds of speakers and generators, etc.
long story short, im not going to veld next year, i want my money back for my wristband, or at the very least a free concert including the artist that never got to perform on day1 (pretty lights) and on day 2 (above and beyond, hadwell, dvbbs, laidback luke, chocolate puma, gorgon city, etc) you owe the fans that much at least, we paid to see them, its only fair.
