One month ago, the 5th annual music festival "SB Love" was held at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Featuring Travis Scott and other musical artists, the event space was designed to sell 10,000 tickets.
Unfortunately, the concert planners (the company SB Love, Inc.) were unprepared for the demand for tickets, and oversold the event. In total, they sold 15,000 tickets. With the extra money, SB Love, Inc. decided to give extra perks to the music artists for showing up to Santa Barbara.
On the day of the concert, the event suffered from a lack of security and not enough working restrooms or water stations. Many people became sick from heatstroke during the day. At night, the beginning of Travis Scott's set was interrupted when several of his fans rushed the stage and injured others. Many concertgoers yelled for Travis to stop his set temporarily, but he continued to play.
Ally attended the concert with her friends and was injured in the middle of Travis Scott's set. She sustained a broken leg and has to walk in crutches for the next 2-3 months. During this time, Ally is unable to work at her job giving walking tours of State Street at Santa Barbara Ghost Tours.
On the back of all concert tickets to SB Love is the following statement: "all persons attending SB Love does so at their own risk and assumes the risk of any injuries that may occur during the event. SB Love, Inc. is not responsible for any damages sustained to persons or property."
