Commenting on the festival, head of Batroun Traders Association Rock Attieh told The National News Agency (NNA):

In regards to the entrance fees, Mr. Attieh explained that the costs of putting up the festival this year increased from the two previous years, which brought them “to put a symbolic entrance fee for groups above 12-years old.”
