A music event promoter is renewing calls for new legislation to protect concert goers if an event is cancelled.
Two festivals - Jucy Fest and Timeless Summer - with shows scheduled in cities throughout January, were cancelled in December.
An initial liquidator's report estimates the three companies behind the events owe creditors more than $2.4 million.
The Commerce Commission is investigating hundreds of complaints from ticketholders who have tried to get their money back through the ticketing agency Ticket Fairy.
They have been told the company no longer holds their money as all funds were transferred to the promoter.
Brent Eccles is a music event promoter - he says he's been petitioning successive governments for tighter rules to protect consumers.
