One of New Jersey’s most popular homegrown music festivals has been canceled days before its big comeback. The multi-day Bamboozle festival in Atlantic City was slated to start Friday but got shut down after organizers failed to get final permits from the city. This followed months of complaints from ticket buyers who demanded refunds, accusing the event’s promoter of lying about the musical lineup. Now they’re struggling to get their money back.
Karin Price Mueller is a consumer columnist for NJ Advance Media. “There have been 37 complaints so far, but it’s complicated because it involves multiple entities and it’s going to take some time for the state to try to sort it all out,” said Mueller. She’s been covering the event and has more on the cancellation.
