Commenting on the news that DF Concerts has suspended ticket sales for the T in the Park 2015 event “until a later date”.
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland & Fife said:
“This is a sensible move on the part of DF Concerts. There are clearly many issues surrounding the proposed move of T in the Park away from Balado to Strathallan Castle which are rightly raising significant concerns amongst local people. The key questions they want answered are why planning permission is deemed not to be necessary at Strathallan Castle when it was for Balado and on what grounds the decision was made that Strathallan Castle was a suitable venue.
“These questions both raise issues about the decision making process and whether someone jumped the gun. It is obviously not sensible for tickets to be sold for the 2015 event until the public has a cast iron assurance that the venue chosen has been subject to the correct scrutiny and, as yet, that is not the case.”
