The ticket on-sale for Woodstock 50<\/a>, a commemorative event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock<\/a> music festival, has been pushed back.<\/p>\n

On Friday, agents received an email regarding the change to the festival slated for August 16-18 at the Watkins Glen International speedway in upstate New York saying, \u201cThere is currently a hold on the Woodstock 50 on-sale date. We are waiting on an official press statement from Woodstock 50 regarding updated announce, ticket pricing, and overall festival information. We will get this information to you as soon as we receive it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While tickets were supposed to go on sale April 22nd, Billboard<\/em><\/a> and Variety<\/em><\/a> reported that the date has been postponed with no explicit reason publicly shared. One possible reason for the delay could be that as of Friday, the festival didn\u2019t have a mass gathering permit from the New York State Department of Health (DOH), reports Pitchfork<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health department is reviewing to determine if a conditional permit may be issued that would allow for ticket sales to commence,\u201d Tim O\u2019Hearn, administrator of Schuyler County (including Watkins Glen) told the publication. \u201cAt this point there is no on-sale date set.\u201d He disclosed that Watkins Glen International had, in fact, filed a mass gathering permit application on April 15th to DOH.<\/p>\n

In March, New York State DOH spokesperson Erin Silk revealed to Watkins Glen-area newspaper Review & Express<\/em><\/a> that without a permit or a conditional permit in place, tickets sales couldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

However, on Friday, Woodstock co-founder Michael Lang downplayed speculation that the festival was on its way to being canceled. \u201cWoodstock is a phenomenon that for 50 years has drawn attention to its principles and also the rumors that can be attached to that attention,\u201d Lang told Billboard<\/em>. A rep for the festival did not immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
