Connecticut Attorney General settled with Capulet Entertainment over the failed Capulet Fest 2024, which was abruptly relocated and partially cancelled, leaving ticketholders without refunds. The settlement provides up to $50,000 in consumer refunds and imposes future requirements including performance bonds and contractor commitments.
The settlement requires Capulet Entertainment to establish a $50,000 restitution fund for consumer refunds and prohibits them from hosting music festivals without securing a performance bond for five years. A $25,000 penalty to the state is suspended if they comply.
In-house legal teams should review vendor contracts for event services to ensure clear cancellation and refund policies, requirements for performance bonds or other financial assurances, and clauses addressing venue changes and contractor guarantees. Contracts should also include provisions for consumer restitution in case of event failure.
