The organisers of the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival say they are owed €283,000 following the liquidation of the company behind Tickets.ie.

 

Festival organisers fear the loss could leave them unable to pay bills owed to around 30 small businesses in Ballyshannon.

 

Meanwhile, the Ballyshannon Rhythm and Blues Weekend has been cancelled for October, with organisers blaming the collapse of Tickets.ie.

 

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Cllr Micheál Naughton says the situation is devastating for organisers and local businesses, and warns it could put future festivals at risk.
