Daily News | Fans of Bamboozle music festival allege false advertising and online threats
once one of New Jersey’s most celebrated music festivals, featuring headliners like Bon Jovi, 50 Cent and the Foo Fighters. Ahead of the festival’s comeback shows — scheduled at Atlantic City’s Bader Field from May 5 to May 7 — a chorus of ticket-buyers say they feel cheated by the show’s ticketing practices.
D’Esposito eventually abandoned the tactic. But the fan he singled out, a 38-year-old insurance agent, Alphonoso Cina, has filed complaints against the promoter with his local police department and the New Jersey State Police Cyber Crimes Unit. But when fewer top billed performers signed on than normal — the biggest names of this year’s show include Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Motionless in White — tickets prices fell, leaving some fans feeling bilked.
D’Esposito founded Bamboozle in 2002 and helped turn it into a mainstay of the Jersey festival scene. Sold out shows at the Meadowlands Sport Complex and Asbury Park Convention Hall featured diverse bills with superstars from indie-rock, hip-hop and emo-punk. Everyone from 50 Cent and Snoop Dog to Mac Miller and My Chemical Romance to The Roots and Fall Out Boy have headlined Bamboozle. By 2012, the festival’s final year, over 100,000 fans attended the shows in Asbury Park.
