And as for those 'dollar' comments... The Pukkelpop organization is a foundation that by its legal status is obliged not to make a profit as such. It is a community based organization that manages to mobilize thousands of volunteers each year, purely for the love of music and young people.

Its unbelieveble, that some people are really thinking about getting their money back. You guys should be glad not getting injured or worst. That is more worth than money. Your thoughts shouldnt be with your lost money, let your thoughts be with the 5 dead people, who came for the same reason to Pukkelpop like you, for partying. You lost your money, they lost their lives!

Respect for the decision made by the organization, it was the only option left I think...
RIP to all the people who left their lives at PKP, I feel deeply sorry for the friend and of family of those!

@HIT*ER: tell me, how do you live with yourself?

Whether or not there will be refunds will come in time. This tragedy happened less than 24 hours ago, and already people are focusing on this.
Let Pukkelpop organisers deal with the dead, the injured and the shock first, refunds later. I can't believe how heartless some people can be.

Sigh think of it this way: yes you all lost money, but i am pretty sure your wounds will heal over time.
The 5 people that lost their life won't be healing anymore.
Show some respect

Critics needs to be thoughtful when stating their messages.. As everyone is saddened by the tragedy they so much wanted to attend, hence why those allowed in the festival were paying attendees, so critics learn to separate your judgement on what is right and what's is wrong..

Pukkelpop should have insurance just like any biz/festival hosting thousands of people, hence why insurance is mandatory, to aid / assist in dramatic situations as this happening...

Respect > such a shame that idiots like you come and claim for money or spectacle when people died or were injuried. There are plenty of good reasons to cancel the festival, even if you left feelings aside, it's sad you can't even think about one or two and come complaining.

@respect "Such a shame that so many thousands of people who have travelled so far will have to suffer losing all."
Are you serious? None of us can understand what "losing all" is apart from the people who tragically list their lives. What an insensitive statement.
This was the only decision that could've been made.
