“As the organizer and producer of the TATTOO THE MIND Festival taking place the 10th & 11th of October in Metz (France), I make my own duty to give you some information about its progressing through this mail.

Only 13 days to the opening of the doors and the few pre-sales we have already scored until today for this event has been becoming very worrying.

We have sold 360 one-day tickets (for the 10th AND 11th of October altogether) + 210 two-day packages. Hence an average of less than 400 per day (or 800 for both days altogether) !!!

Yet, this festival reaches its economical balance with 4500 people coming and accumulated on both days (naturally, you have at your disposal the budget of the festival but also the current score of pre-sales).

The daily evolution of sales tends sadly to be rather unconvincing.

Therefore, we have thoughtfully and reasonably decided that cancelling the festival has become necessary. The amount of loss to come would make us unable to cope financially with our expenses and to be sure to pay every fee for instance.

I let you imagine the amount of our loss, if finally only 2000 people come these two days (hence a loss corresponding to 2500 paying tickets).

Of course, I can imagine your disappointment and even more, but be sure that this decision is not easy way to escape from our commitments. Regarding to the figures, it is obvious that the feasibility of this festival is called into question. That is why we rely on your comprehension (…)

We do regret the current progressing of the situation and offer our apologies for this annoyance.

Yours sincerely,

William Munerato”

En même temps...attendre 4500 personnes pour ce genre d'affiche en France, c'est de l'inconscience! Si ça ramène 2500 personnes, c'est déjà bien! Mais en province comme ça, avec des temps de jeu aussi faibles et des styles trop variés pour rameuter un public ciblé, plus le fait qu'aucun camping n'ai été mis en place et que les gens qui compte venir de loin doivent débourser un hotel en plus...
Enfin c'est plus qu'attendu! La promo a été assez faible aussi, et l'affiche dévoilée bien trop tard!
