“Although it was not an everyday decision, it was definitely the right one,” Tatar said, citing the fact that one of the suspects was an arena employee as a deciding factor. According to Barracuda’s website, all tickets would be automatically refunded within the next two weeks. For some, the concerts had meant more than a silly, good time, including Ms Eliya Briand, 22, and her sister Naomi, 24, who arrived in Vienna on Aug 8 from Netanya, Israel, just north of Tel Aviv, seeking a reprieve from Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip. Now thousands of miles from home, the sisters felt they were facing the same fear.
Mr Stefan Schneider, 48, the owner of Arena Cocktail Catering, said he had spent 10,000 euros , on hotel rooms for 60 staff members he brought in from Germany for the three-day event, plus another 10,000 euros in cocktail ingredients. The event would have accounted for 30 per cent of his yearly income, if all had gone well, he said. He added that he had no insurance.
