CROSSOVER FESTIVAL NEWSLETTER |

THANK YOU to everyone who has bought tickets so far- this REALLY helps us. Currently, tickets are selling well, as it seems people are ready to get back to festivals. Remember, we only have a 400 seat limit in the theatre. However, we would ***really*** appreciate it if everyone who plans on attending Crossover Festival 2022 could buy their ticket sooner rather than later. This makes us secure in the knowledge that the festival is financially viable and can go ahead as planned. We need to sell a certain number of tickets before we can break even and we have set a deadline of the end of March for this to happen- Help us meet this target; buy your tickets early. Don't worry, as in 2020, if the festival has to be cancelled for any reason (i.e. Covid), you will be issued a full refund. |
