Collide Festival: Cancelled!

I had plans to go to Collide Festival at the end of this week. It would have started on Thursday and finished on Saturday. Sister Sharon, her two kids, Deena and I all had plans to camp for the whole event and now we get zip.

Eight inches of rain left the event field saturated. Technically, the festival isn't cancelled, just rescheduled. Collide Management has an idea that rescheduling the event for June 12, 13, & 14, 2008 is postponing.

All tickets for this year's fest are valid for Collide 08. 41,711 ticket holders shouldn't be upset about that. The Collide site doesn't say anything about refunds.

Ticket holders, event organizers, bands--everyone loses.

Boo. If that's legal, it shouldn't be.

Next year should not be considered rescheduling. How do we know they weren't planning to make this an annual event and do it again next year anyway. Are there any assurances any of the bands will even be the same for the "rescheduled" show. I know Christians should seek to be understanding of extenuating circumstances, which they often aren't, but this seems beyond reasonableness.
