Gamely Honour: Home and Way

gamely honour: Ticketholders reeling from the news that B.C.'s Pemberton Music Festival had been abruptly cancelled on Thursday and that refunds were by no means a sure bet were dangled a small measure of comfort on Friday by southern Ontario's Way Home fest Way Home will exchange one free, general-admission ticket for the full weekend for any ticket purchased to Pemberton, according to Toronto Star. This followed an earlier announcement that Way Home will also gamely honour any tickets bought to the recent, ill-fated Fyre Festival in the Bahamas with the same weekend pass. DARRYL DYCK / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Ben Rayner Pop Music Critic Fri., May 19, 2017 Fleeced by Fyre Pissed off at Pemberton Way Home has an offer for you. We understand the difficulties that go into the planning and execution of a large-scale festival event, said Eva Dunford, one of the partners in Republic Live, the promotion company behind Way Home and the hugely successful country camp-out Boots & Hearts Boots & Hearts, in a statement issued early Friday afternoon. It's saddening to hear of the struggles Pemberton Music Festival organizers are dealing with, and therefore we want to help by honouring all purchased ticket holders with a free pass to Way Home this summer. First and foremost, we are music fans and as such belong to an international community that share in our mutual successes and disappointments. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
