The entertainment group Moment Group, which consists of 2Entertain - one of Sweden's largest producers of theater performances, shows and musicals - is in financial crisis
The company is behind scenes such as Wallmans, Hamburger Börs, Kungsportshuset in Gothenburg with KPH Matbar, Star Bowling and Golden hits.
"Working feverishly"
After the announcement, the situation is so acute for the group that you have to find new financiers on Thursday - otherwise you risk bankruptcy or corporate reorganization.
- Our liquidity is about to run out.
We work feverishly to get a solution that will be good for the company.
We have said that we must go to our board if we have not found such a solution by today, says Otto Drakenberg.
"Culture carries the heaviest load"
According to Otto Drakenberg, the message from the authorities during the past week means that removing the so-called troubadour exemption means another killing blow for the already hard-hit entertainment industry.
- The restrictions have not been adapted to the situation, so the culture carries the heaviest load.
Now came the news on Monday where they also remove this exception that has made it possible for arenas such as Hamburgerbörs to stay open.
Does not refund ticket money
Otto Drakenberg hopes that those who bought a ticket to a show in 2020 understand that they cannot get any money back at the moment.
Instead, they hope to be able to save the company and offer performances in the future when the authorities allow.
But if you still want your money back now?
- When you bought tickets from us, you also accepted our terms of purchase.
In the circumstances that prevail now, you can not get your money back.
Our lawyers have looked into this and there is nothing illegal or criminal in this proceeding.
