Coca-Cola has acted according to conditions imposed by the event organizers, both in terms of number of service points and their location or payment arrangements available to spectators. The hot weather, large number of participants and issues connected to event logistics generated this unpleasant situation. We want such moments to not happen again and will seek solutions for the future,” announced a Coca-Cola press release.

The number and locations of service and payment method were determined by the organizer of the event, not by the Ursus brand. With all our efforts, it is clear however that most of those attending the concert had a bad experience related to the Ursus brand. For this reason, we decided to offer all those who were dissatisfied with the organization of the concert experience a Ursus Premium gift box (sux doses of 0.5 l),” the Ursus Facebook page reads.
