About this episode
Aussie music festivals have been struggling since COVID.
Just this year, we've already seen hip hop festival Rolling Loud and Byron Bay's Bluesfest announce cancellations – weeks before they were supposed to go ahead.
One festival that never fully recovered is The Drop.
COVID restrictions meant some shows got cancelled back in 2020.
And six years on, ticketholders are still waiting for refunds, despite promises from a festival organiser who has gone MIA.
In this deep dive, we get into all the ways you can chase up refunds for cancelled shows, and whether would-be-punters of The Drop are likely to ever see their money again.
Guest:
- Adam Glezer, consumer advocate
