There's fears stricter regulation of event organisers could hurt smaller promoters most. Three companies connected to Juicy Fest and Timeless Summer have gone into liquidation - with ticket holders yet to receive refunds. Eccles Entertainment co-founder Brent Eccles is pushing to force ticketing companies to hold money until an event has ended. But Lo-Fi Productions Managing Director Owen Evans says that leaves no wiggle room for the unexpected. "For us, the only time we struggle to pay people is either a knock-on effect from not being paid by other people - or things like the floods and Covid, where we had to dig into our own pockets to pay that."
