About turn on refunds for EXPERIENCE 1970 ticket holders

Organisers of the EXPERIENCE 1970 event, which was recently cancelled due to a breakdown of the relationship between the event organisers and the owner of the planned festival site, have announced an update today.

Previously they had stated that refunds were not possible, as EXPERIENCE 1970 had to cease trading and write off massive losses, but organisers now say ticketholders must not be left out of pocket.

EXPERIENCE 1970 representative, Chris Hewitt, explained

“Having personally lost months and months of my time and lots of my personal money on the whole project to stage EXPERIENCE 1970 over three days this year, it has turned into a debacle, but not of our making.

“EXPERIENCE 1970’s 50th Anniversary event was always a great idea to honour the Island’s ‘Last Great Event’ and we put so much into trying to turn that dream into reality – but when the landowner pulls the plug with no regard to the fact we had committed money, and paid a deposit on the land agreement, it leaves an awfully bitter taste.

“Anyway, despite initially saying on our Website tickets were non-refundable, I must do the decent thing and make sure ticket holders are refunded.

“If anybody wants to contribute a few quid and accept a slightly smaller refund of tickets or help in anyway message me at [email protected]. Or buy a book from this excellent range of my music books.”

How to claim a refund
All ticket holders who purchased from the Party Ace main agency for the event (that’s the majority), please contact them for refunds at [email protected]

These refunds will be facilitated on behalf of Experience 1970/Recordcore DVR.

Other ticket holders should write for refunds to: Experience 1970/Recordcore DVR, PO Box 116, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 5UG, enclosing proof of payment and refunds will be processed.
