here are jeff's tweets

Person-was the NiFi fest a thing a hoax? No one is posting about the cancellation

JEFF-Cancelled. http://nififest.com

person-people paid thousands in airfare and hotel to see you guys live

Jeff-we didn't cancel. Festival cancelled everyone. It sucks for me too. Sorry.

Person-Exactly. They can get their show ticket money back, but flights and hotels are non-refundable.

Jeff-how am I abrasive? Just relaying news.

Jeff-you know about this as much as I do. Kinda shocked about it actually.

Person-could it be a possibility you guys book another venue for the same date?

Jeff-I couldn't even speculate. I hope so but I know nothing.

Person-I know a lot of people were really looking forward to this, myself included.

Jeff-me too

Person-This is actually pretty heartbreaking, hearing you are just as disappointed as we are.

Jeff-I talked to Whitey and Freese tonight. They're super disappointed too. For what it's worth.

and then CDOG IS BEING RUDE TO JEFF FOR SOME REASON

Of course. Female only entry, very strict dress code. DM @JeffMatika for more details.

and jeff went back at him-what's your problem?

You forgot the tweet where someone called Jeff abrasive, which has strangely been deleted. :P

Thanks for that. Actually I read it earlier today on his twitter, but I'm just asking if people can see it still or did he deleted the tweets?

man..... stop being butthurt about expectations. This is why I'd rather wait til a guarantee of a concert.

if i spent 3-400 on a festival, and coming from PA, i'd DAMN WANT MY MONEY back 100 percent of it, including travel. it's my money i have to spend. and inb4 entitled comments, that's why i prefer other bands and other festivals. the rabid fans are too fucking ridiculous to have a GD concert worth it anymore.

shitting on Jeff was rude though Cdog.......

Why was CD mean at a poor handicapped animal lover?

Anyone think they will announce a replacement gig at really short notice like 924 Gilman and the show Billie Joe did with Norah ?

Who is responsible for how horribly this thread has been NiFi'd up?? I demand to know.

It was better when it was about pizza tbh

Don't dwell on it, just suspend Ceadog. It's better for everyone that way.

I doubt they will do a show, but if they do it will probs be really short notice

Yeah, one of those mental chicks called him abrasive earlier on and deleted before I could screen cap it :(

do you mean the one that said "Not your fault that it was cancelled I realize, but you could be a little less abrasive in your response to fans"

if it is, i can still see it and it hasnt been deleted

I don't understand why I'm being called mental for a simple misunderstanding that I then apologized for. But whatever.

Tbh I never saw the tweets to Jeff as more than a misunderstanding.

I didn't see the one specifically calling him abrasive so I'm not going to comment on that. The tweets I saw even apologised for coming across in a certain way.

Tweeting Jeff and directly calling him and green day out for the cancellation and demanding another show is one thing, but that isn't what you were doing at all and I feel other people have taken it out of context. Personally, you just seemed confused over the whole thing like a lot of other people were at the time.

There were other tweets to Jeff - while a joke or not - which were more 'mental' than what you sent.

Did you guys use debit or credit cards...? Because I used my Discover card and it doesn't say my refund has posted yet. :(

Posted

I used a debt card and it hasn't posted yet in my account

The Discover network is retarded and takes longer to post stuff. No idea why.

Well I just arrived and no one is here yet

Oh! I just checked my email. I got one about my refund, too. I had my email notifications turned off on my phone while I was on vacation.

Lol back in may they said

“We came in with eyes wide open, we understand the economics of a first year, second year, third year, when you do make money, and how you make it, and we planned for it,” Howard Mergelkamp, NiFi’s chief strategy officer, said in a press release when the festival was announced in May. “We knew out of the gate we didn’t want to be a mediocre festival, or a small one. We came from the approach that not only do we not want to be a failure, it has to be a success at a high level to penetrate the market, get notoriety, for people to come, experience and say, ‘Wow, I want to go back next year.’”

What a trip.
