DESPITE a tight one week turn around, Coastal Jam sold out in just minutes marking the return of events to the region.<\/p>\n

Event organiser Adam Metwally said the uncertainty of restrictions have meant those in the entertainment industry have to be prepared to \u201cpull the trigger when things become available”.<\/p>\n

The feeling of urgency was reciprocated by the public with all tickets selling out in just eight minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is wanting to take things for granted now, we had more than three times the capacity on the registration list,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Torquay Hotel the event will take place on January 25, 2021, catapulting Victorians into a COVID-normal way of life.<\/p>\n

Mr Metwally and the Hotel will work together to provide a safe and enjoyable event with extra emphasise on ensuring contact tracing will be possible and that all patrons will be scanned in.<\/p>\n

The sell out event comes just a week after it was reported that Torquay Hotel would be opening all areas of the venue supporting around 600 patrons during service.<\/p>\n

Coastal Jam will feature ten DJs with Melbourne acts such as Stace Cadet and Spacey Space as well numerous locals including Ben Reyment, Merl and Vanilla Neptune.<\/p>\n
