Final yr, metallic followers have been spurned by the Capulet Fest, a three-day metallic pageant that was imagined to occur at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway on June 28-30, 2024. Over the course of some days, the pageant slowly deteriorated: capability was lowered, then bands have been axed, till lastly the final day was absolutely cancelled. Now there may be closure for people who requested refunds to no avail.
At this time, Connecticut Lawyer Common William Tong introduced a settlement with Capulet Leisure and its proprietor Estevan Vega of as much as $50,000 in refunds. Moreover, for a interval of 5 years, Vega and Capulet Leisure is not going to be allowed to host any music festivals except they’ve secured a efficiency bond to cowl refunds to ticket holders within the occasion of any cancellation.
In a press release, Lawyer Common Tong shared:
Vega and Capulet made main guarantees they couldn’t ship, and the failure of Capulet Fest 2024 drove Vega out of business. Our investigation has at all times been about two issues — ensuring this by no means occurs once more and getting refunds to followers. The state is taking nothing from this settlement. Each greenback we may squeeze out of Vega and Capulet goes to fan refunds and restitution. Going ahead, Vega and Capulet are going to be below strict orders to safe efficiency bonds and tight commitments from contractors earlier than selling something. And in the event that they screw up once more, you higher consider we’ll come down on them like a ton of bricks.
In case you are in search of a refund, you must a written request to Vega’s lawyer, Mark A. Balaban, Esq., c/o The Balaban & Raczka Legislation Agency, 425 Primary Avenue, 4th Ground, Middletown, CT 06457.
