The LA Weekly is reporting that ticketholders for the Sunset Junction Fair, which got canceled at the last minute last August, are now taking steps to file a class-action lawsuit because most people haven’t got their refunds.
Michelle Stimson, a tax law attorney and ticketholder who is spearheading the suit, has announced her intentions on the Sunset Junction’s facebook page.
Organizer McKinley provided refunds to about one hundred people who bought tickets through Origami Vinyl or the Sunset Junction farmer's market – probably that was all he could afford, and may be he didn’t want people to get angry at the Origami store? – but people who bought their ticket through the Sunset Junction’s website did not get any refund.
The Weekly is also reminding us that ticket prices ranged from $15 to $100 (VIP tickets) and with an average attendance of 100,000, the amount of money the fair has to refund
could reach a million dollars!
No organizer can be reached, the office phone line, which was disconnected at the time, is now working again but has a saturated voicemail.
And attendees are not the only ones to have been robbed, the festival still own money to artists who were scheduled to play!
