ANGRY festival goers who spent money on tickets are demanding refunds after other people were allowed in for free. 

Organisers took the decision to make the Saturday of Wacky Weekender free entry after bad weather affected numbers.

But festival-goers who spent money on tickets are upset they have not been given a refund after people were allowed in for free.

Event organiser Mark Cookson said they were giving out refunds but claims some people were reapplying for refunds they had already received.

They halted refunding tickets when they discovered the scam but said they are now going to be issuing them on a case-by-case basis.

He added that people were given free food and drink across the weekend to compensate and were also offered a free ticket to next year's festival. 

Claire Edwards, from Bromsgrove, spent over £200 from her wedding savings on tickets for two adults and two children.

She said: "It was not worth the money because I know I'm out of pocket and saw people walking around who got in for free.

"It makes me angry because money is tight, especially in this day and age.

"Most people may not have been able to afford to go because of the cost of living.

"Camping became free, and then children under 10 become free, and then they let people in for free. What have we paid for?

"Paying customers should have priority treatment but what they have done is alienated the people who would have supported them in the future."

Other campers like Lisa Atherton said the event was a "massive let down" after she spent £190 on two VIP tickets which she is also seeking a refund for.

Olly Jones added: "I’ve been chasing a refund or partial refund due to paying full price for them while the organisers were giving away or reducing ticket prices, and their responses have been non-existent."

Mr Cookson said it was disgusting that people have ruined refunds for others and called the actions out of order.

Wacky Weekender took place at Worcester Racecourse for three days starting on Friday, July 21.

There was upset after a foul-mouthed rapper turned the air blue with an expletive-filled set at 11am.

Mr Cookson said he was 'horrified' and cancelled the rest of the line up on the stage.

Despite the bad weather and rude rapper, scores of people enjoyed seeing acts such as The Bluetones, Toploader and Dodgy take to the stage.

Worcester's own Nick Tsang was also proud to return to his hometown to perform with Scouting for Girls.
