Festivals seek liquidation of Tickets.ie after collapse leaves more than €1.1m in debts

The Rory Gallagher International Festival takes place in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal.

A trio of festivals directly impacted by the collapse of online vendor Tickets.ie have applied to place the site in liquidation on a third-party basis.

Simon Power, the organiser of the Cowboys and Heroes festival in Leitrim, said that the grouping had applied for audit consultants Azets Ireland to be appointed as liquidator of the now-defunct site.
