The Spanish Government has opened proceedings against a festival promoter for promoting unfair practices
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs has pointed out that these activities, such as checking the ban on access to festivals with food and drink, could result in fines of up to EUR 1 million.
The Consumer and User Organization (OECD) celebrated on Monday the opening of a punitive file from the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 to a "great promoter of music festivals" for thepossible existence of abusive unfair practices.
The Organization has issued a communiqué proclaiming the need for homogeneous national regulations on the rights of attendees to such events.
In this case, the abusive practices of the promoter of music festivals would be of three types, the first for prohibiting accessto the festival with food and drink outside, registering attendees.
Second, because of the ban on people attending the festival leaving freely and returning to the compound .
Finally, in order to be able to make payments within the festival, due to the obligation to implement a cashless wristband system , as well as the loss of returning the surplus below a minimum amount at the time of return .
According to Consumo, these practices would be abusive and would therefore constitute a violation of the General Act for theDefence of Consumers and Users, which, if classified as very serious, could amount to EUR 1 million.
