Hey folks, sad news today...But what we all expected finally arrived! Indeed the big LAN/festival Geex, that was supposed to be in Paris in May is canceled.
Unfortunately this news is not a real surprise. Since the beginning of the announcement of the project, we were suspicious about the success of this event. The fact that it was too big, too expensive, schedule the same week-end as the Cap'Arena, not much fans and reactions on facebook, not enough registrations on the tournaments made us think that this event would not make it. All these clues gave the feeling that this project that came from nowhere was too ambitious...
And it finally was. So the administrators and organizers have to cancel the event, so as to prevent from the bankrupt and a financial crisis.
Geex was :
- A TrackMania² : Stadium Tournament
- A ShootMania : Storm Tournament
Message from Admins :
We come forward with sad news to announce: the first edition of the GeeX Festival is cancelled.
Two weeks before schedule, our hopes to realise this beautiful project vanished.
We had to think clear regarding the facts: we did not succeed in convincing partners and participants sufficiently. We made the decision to put an end to the project, so that the situation does not become worse.
The lack of enthusiasm we generated arises a major problem of financial balance, which prevents us from making the event happen like we had wished for, in terms of quality.
For a year, we have striven and dedicated all our resources on this project. We have involved partners, contractors, brands, personalities, all our team and many volunteer organisations who committed themselves sparing no effort in their support, to be part of this adventure. And of course, there is the public who put their trust into us, purchasing tickets, booking trip reservations...
We are aware that we will bring disappointment to many, and this is a very saddening thought. But we know as well, that if we keep it alive, it will only make it worse.
Our intentions are to limit the damage as much as possible. It is still time.
We have set up an email address to register your refund claims of eTickets: refund@geex.fr . There will be high numbers of them, we will ask that everyone be patient, operation may take several weeks. For each request, please provide us with the GeeX Festival eTicket number, as well as your bank account details or a Paypal email address. We cannot assume responsibility for related costs. To the extent possible, please cancel all your travel and accommodation costs if you have any.
Lastly, we would like to thank those who believed in us and placed their trust in us."
