The organizers of the MTK Festival just can't seem to catch a break. Poor tickets sales forced the cancellation of the August concert, refunds weren't immediately processed and now the town of East Hampton is keeping 10% of the group's deposit. Turns out the police department had already spent $2,000 on signage before the call to cancel was made. Understandably, the town board voted to pass along that expense on to the festival's promoters and agreed to return $18,000. [Previously, Patch]
