In the news: Intents Festival vs insurers after heavy rain damage
Hard News: ~€1.5m dispute after wet ground knocked out camping — outdoor site risk meets insurance small print.
Source: Hard News — “Insurers refuse to pay Intents Festival after heavy rain: €1.5 million damage.”
Short version: weeks of rain before Intents (Oisterwijk) left a large share of camping unusable; organisers adapted the site and are in court over ~€1.5m. Insurers argue prolonged wet weather isn’t a sudden covered event — promoters argue the spend stopped a full cancel.
Eventplot angle: when camping closes, trader rows and routes move. You need the outdoor layout to change with the ground — not wait for a reprint.
