The CEO said that T4F understands that “the entire industry” needs to rethink its actions “in light of this new reality.” “In any case, I would like to apologize to anyone who did not have the best possible experience. Providing the best event will always be our commitment. I also apologize for the delay in conducting this public demonstration as our focus was to incorporate the insights we had.”
Abreu classified the death of Ana Benevides as a “fatalty,” which he said occurred “for the first time in more than 40 years of operation” at T4F. The preliminary report indicated that the young woman had “small bleeding” in her lungs, possibly caused by heat and sunstroke.
He offered help to the family of the university student whose body was buried two days ago. “We are absolutely devastated and very saddened by the loss of young Ana Clara, despite the prompt care and all efforts of the medical teams at the event and in hospital. I would like to express our sincere condolences to Ana Clara’s family.” “I express here, now publicly, our willingness to provide assistance in whatever is necessary, as we have already said, directly to the family members and to the lawyer who has been representing them by telephone or in writing since the incident.”
We understand the deep pain of this irreparable loss. We respect the family’s privacy and reiterate our willingness to cooperate. I would also like to assure all fans attending the Taylor Swift concert in São Paulo that we are working to provide an exciting and unforgettable evening. For the Allianz Parque Shows we are following the new position of the authorities. Seraphim Abreu
Finally, he explained that in addition to disposable water cups, “which have always been approved,” flexible plastic water bottles are also allowed. “All guidelines for the show will be widely communicated across our networks so that everyone can have the best possible experience.”
