Furnace Fest have revealed that they will be lowering prices for this year’s event. The move was made to combat low ticket sales. As previously reported, Furnace Fest will take place at the Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, AL on October 3-5 and it will feature performances from Knocked Loose, Jimmy Eat World, Dropkick Murphys, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicidal Tendencies, Mom Jeans, and more.
The following statement was issued:
“Furnace Fest Fam, we’re going to shoot you straight – ticket sales aren’t where they need to be. We could make excuses, but we’d rather take action and do everything we can to fill Sloss with people, not reasons why it didn’t work.
To keep this thing alive, we’ve rolled prices back to early bird rates. We know not everyone will agree with this decision, but the choice was simple: cut prices to move tickets or cancel altogether. If you purchased at tier one pricing, we’ll do our best to make it right for you.
Our hope was to keep FF going as long as the passion from fans was there. We hope to see you in October!”
The organizers later added:
“There isn’t much else to say. At the end of the day we’re just a handful of friends trying to do something awesome for our community. There’s no corporate backer here. The only support we have is YOU. Without YOU there is no @furnacefest”
