Woodstock 50 Cancellation Rumors Arise after Ticket Sale Delay
In a new report from Billboard, it was revealed that artist representatives were informed that the on-sale date for tickets has been delayed. The news has led some to believe that Woodstock 50 may be at risk of being canceled.
The official quote to artist representatives from talent manager Amanda Phelan is as follows:
"There is currently a hold on the Woodstock 50 on-sale date. We are waiting on an official press statement from Woodstock 50 regarding updated announce, ticket pricing, and overall festival information. We will get this information to you as soon as we receive it."
It appears the artist representatives are beginning to show their concern for the well-being of the festival as one unnamed agent told Billboard, "No one knows what the hell is going on but there is clearly a problem." Woodstock founder, Michael Lang, denounced the concerns as merely rumors and went on to explain the significance of the festival and provide assurance that his festival would still go on.
