I swear last year that was the prices of the tickets so why are people saying every year the tickets are going up
#justsayin
bring anna marie clarke too advertise for you guys.she does a fabulous job..u guys shus use her to promote the wcmf..shame
every year the tickets goes up but the main entertainers goes down..too much, too much money.
Fabulous Line up I recommend Dobet Gnorre a performance of a lifetime she is one of Africa’s best Vocalist>
not impressed at all..the Fest ranking is going down their isnt any crowd pulling acts…
was disgusted when i saw a so call performance by a local act up in the USVI on local tv…i wondered whats really is going on..do the local acts i mean some of them really review their art form..
honestly what is the product they are attempting to sell is if for dominican school leavers..wow
that group should be ashamed of its image..its a total downer based on the past great acts we had…some of the local acts here lack class…dont they see the sky is the limit..wonder why would they play heap of highly gabbage crap and feel proud of it..
or maybe they totaly blind to see they are fooling themselves by being ignorant of the facts of the music industry and showbiz…
@Lawless, Re: Nassio Fontaine….I think you have a point there. That’s the talk in the Reggae industry. I too love NASIO FOUNTAIN but I think he is satisfied with his promoter/Mgr. since he probably isn’t interested in taking his music further than it is right now, just go NY off and on and chill.
Somewhat like Chubby of the Groovers did over the last 40 years, but I hope he’s not as broke. So we may just have to settle for his situation as it is.
Idont understand why the show promoters have to physically go to new york, miami and the Islands just to say they promoting the festival,,,why don’t they used this money to have ticket sales online instead????? I am in the states and I would like to take advantage of the reduced price, but there is no way to purchase tickets online… These organizeRs wasteing money going to america saying they promoting…IN THESE DAYS OF TECHNOLOGY that’s why the ticket prices are Soooo high…
i agree totally ma boy..anna marie can do that perfectly in new york..dem guys just want a trip to flip flop….
booorrrrinnnggggggg!
Carimi plays in Dominica so often that i was hocked to find out they are not local but Haitian..hehehehheheheehe
so no NASIO FOUNTAIN WELL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.
Nasio needs a better promoter. Everyone is asking for the man and no sign of him. All dog and cat singing not Nasio. Stupes. And I so love mister music.
Ok, lets go, by nex year is $200 for a ticket, zor belle la
$250.00? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that can be a contribution or scholarship to a needy student entering primary school eh……. #i’mjustsaying
why don’t you go ahead be the sponsor to that needy child ………..hmm I’m just saying.
