Dear Sir/Madam,
1 I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the 2007 Punk In The Park festival which you organised.
2 I bought two tickets for me and my girlfriend for all three days, which cost me ?90 in total. As I am a student, this was a lot of money to pay, but I believed it was worth it because of the quality of the bands which were being advertised.
3 On Friday afternoon the sound check lasted most of the afternoon. Although the first concert was going to start at 5 p.m., the first band didn’t appear on stage until 9 p.m. Because of this, the last two bands (The Phoneys and Critical Age) didn’t play at all. We were all very disappointed. On Saturday it started raining heavily. There were only two sets of toilets, both of them located in the lowest part of the field. There were very long queues for the toilets all day and when the toilets became flooded after just an hour of rain, the situation looked horrific. There clearly wasn’t enough planning before the event.
4 I feel that in future you should plan such festivals more carefully.
5 I also think I should receive a refund for my tickets for one of the days (?30) because two of my favourite bands didn’t play at all.
I hope you will take my comments into consideration and I look forward to reading your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mark D. Smith
