Oysters Too

Thank you for your email regarding your Summer Jam experienceWe at HOT work all year to bring you a very special Hip Hop event, and completely understand and share your disappointment that this year’s show wasn’t as perfect as we’d like it to beWhile many fans have expressed what a great
night it was, we know that was not the case for many others, and want to ensure you, we hear you!• The severe weather that came through the area made it impossible to safely host our free Festival Village showThe decision to cancel was tough, but safety for everyone is top priorityJust the day before Summer Jam, people at a different outdoor concert were struck by lightning and injured; no one wants a repeat of that! • HOT participated in several safety briefings throughout the day with the NJ State Police, MetLife Stadium officials, and weather expertsFrom those meetings, it was decided that the building would be safe to open at 8:30PMThankfully, the storm passed before then, so gates were able to open a bit earlier, but it took approximately hours to get everyone inside in a calm and orderly manner.• The change in the schedule also affected the performers’ availability, as some had times they had to leave by to catch flights or to host other engagementsLuckily, we were also able to pick up some extra surprise guests, including *** ***, which made for some special and unannounced performancesWe understand there may have been one act you wanted to see most, but hope the extra special guests helped make up for that.• The show is rain or shine; since the main event did go on, albeit delayed, refunds are not available. • HOT and all of Emmis take Summer Jam extremely personally and rest assured your comments have been shared with our entire team, all the way up to head management. • We apologize if any part of the day disappointed you, but please know we appreciate you and your continued support for Summer Jam and HOT
