I can guarantee that to break the contract with most of the headliners would probably be far worse for Sasquatch then only selling half the tickets. I promise you that every single Sasquatch contract has cancellation terms written into it. I'm sure the bigger acts get nice cancellation fees but they're going to be significantly smaller than their performance fee. Sorry Goldbeard but whatever Cbats says as far as the business side of the music scene goes for me. He's pretty much always been spot on. Fucking lawyers.

It's extremely extremely unlikely that they cancel it. I just mean that they probably have like a million dollar out which might be preferable to losing 4 million on the weekend. These rumors are almost certainly bullshit but there IS a way to do it.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with Cbats, but I also think that they've sold enough tickets at this point to reasonably expect to lose more money by having to cancel the whole thing, than to go through with a second weekend. I'm also assuming a lot about the costs of setting up Sasquatch.

These rumors are almost certainly bullshit. Until I hear an official word otherwise, this is the only argument I will entertain.

I think the only thing that would lend credence to the rumors at this point is that Sasquatch has only posted things about Memorial Day weekend the last few weeks and almost nothing about July.

Shit this is actually the most damning evidence I have seen. Everything else has been hearsay and shit, but this is a pretty good point. WHY YOU HATE WEEKEND 2 GOLDBEARD!?!

I actually take that back, last mention of July 4th weekend was one of their facebook posts on March 12. Still it's been over 9 days since they mentioned July Squatch. #confirmed #brochella

Geetar is just hoping he can get a refund back instead of trying to sell his tickets at current exchange rate.

I'm a Sasquatch fan. I'd much rather sell my July tickets for 75-90% of face value, and see a healthy festival than see the July Sasquatch's demise, and it hurt perceptions of future Sasquatches.
I'm actually considering doing May Sasquatch as well as Osheaga. So I'll very likely be calling ticketmaster soon to see if I can just switch the tickets to May.
I would end up making money if they refunded 325USD right now. The current exchange rate is probably making it very tough for Canadians to justify tickets.

The exchange rate isn't even that bad right now, we've just been spoiled for the last few years because the American economy kinda tanked. Back in my day it was as bad as $1 CDN = $0.65 US.

The post made on the FB page about cancelled July rumors is gone. Makes me wonder if the page admins deleted it... :/
