From bad to worse...

You may be familiar with the little Snow Patrol fiasco we encountered not so long ago. Read below. Well, a new twist has emerged. I received this email this morning from Malik"

"Greetings from Global Breakthrough:

We have some good news and bad news.

The good news is you’re about to get a better ticket deal as a token of our appreciation and our way of saying we’re very sorry for any disappointment caused.

Here is the bad news…Official statement from Tom & Gary/Snow Patrol’s management:

We regret to announce that, due to recording commitments, Tom and Gary from Snow Patrol have had to cancel their DJ appearance at the Global Breakthrough festival in Cape Town at the end of this month.

They tried everything to re-arrange this scheduling conflict, but unfortunately studio availability & other circumstances do not allow for them to travel to South Africa at this time.

Tom and Gary are very disappointed about this and send their utmost apologies. They hope to make it over to Cape Town as soon as their schedule allows to make up for any disappointment caused.

Snow Patrol Management

Note! There has also been a LOCATION CHANGE. We’re not going to use Signal Hill anymore because it was more of a Snow Patrol vibe and it was really limiting us with regards to capacity. We’ve got two of the hottest DJs in the world coming out with Âme and Henrik Schwarz (LIVE) headlining that event as part of a special Innervisions showcase and we’re moving venue to accommodate the numbers. Also the weather has been just ghastly lately. It’s as if this wind will never stop blowing and we don’t want to blow the event over it.

The new, super exciting location will be announced this week.

Now that the budget has lost some weight we’re giving you back the added value as follows:

General Admission ticket holders can have 3 tickets for the Innervisions event featuring Henrik Schwarz LIVE and Ame.

Pre sale value for 3 tickets: R240 / On door: R420. Do the math. It’s a sweet deal, because really, we feel terrible.

If you’re actually not into cutting edge electronic house music, bummer, and thus you specifically bought tickets just to see the Snow Patrol DJ Set, then please email malik@global-breakthrough.com so we can sort you out a refund.


Cheers,

Let me know if I must jump in at any point here and elaborate as to how this is such a load of dodgy shit?

Sorry Malik, run that past me again, you have GOOD and BAD news? OKay, so explain to me how the ticket I paid for to see one band which then turned out to be only the two main dudes of that band playing their favourite playlist on their Ipod not coming to this sick venue can be accompanied by GOOD news?

Oh hold on, the sick venue has also been moved? To where I ask? You don't know yet you reply? Yes, you are correct that is super exciting.

I have an idea Malik, why don't you just invite people online to come over to your spot and we can listen to your favourite playlist and you can charge us a sweet deal? Must I bring my own chair?

Yes I will pursue the refund option.
