The Blue Ridge Rock Festival executive producer Cara Fischer has issued a statement regarding the availability of tickets for their 2024 event and efforts to address unresolved issues from the 2023 festival. Despite previous reports of ticket sales for the 2024 festival, organizers clarify that tickets are not currently being sold, despite the option to pre-order on the festival’s website. This announcement follows demands from fans for refunds from the partially canceled 2023 festival. 

According to WDBJ7, festival organizers state that while artists and bands have been booked for the planned 2024 event, the county administrator of Halifax County has yet to learn of these plans as of March 13, 2024. Additionally, the festival has settled one of its three active lawsuits, agreeing to pay Sunbelt Rentals $669,092.81 for equipment from the 2022 festival. 

Executive producer Cara Fischer issued the following statement:

“Tickets for 2024 are not currently on sale and have not been for several months while we work to provide a resolution to 2023 fans. The Festival follows the lead and direction of multiple distinguished insurance law firms and a public adjuster concerning public statements. As much as doing so has crippled us publicly, we have been informed that we have acted by the book in accordance with the event’s insurance policy and anticipate a positive resolution soon. Please know that we are committed to delivering a great experience for our fans and supported in 2024 and beyond.”
