CT Bike Festival cancelled

This year's Cape Town Bike Festival (CTBF) has been cancelled due to lack of sponsorship and ticket support for the event. "Two weeks ago the company was still hopeful we would be able sell enough tickets to make the event happen on advice that an event like the CTBF is a walk-in event and that significant ticket sales would only start happening closer to the event," says CTBF CEO De Wet du Plessis.

"Although substantial communication saw ticket sales climbing on a daily basis, viability was not assured and although we have spent a considerable amount of money in trying to realise the festival, we believe it would have been irresponsible to continue under the circumstances and in the end not able to pay vendors or refund people who bought tickets," du Plessis says.

All ticket holders will be refunded - those who bought tickets from Computicket can contact the vendor for refund while those who bought directly from Cape Town Bike Festival can contact the company.
