World of Brass issue British Open statement

The producers of the 2019 British Open live streaming issue statement over problems with broadcast from Symphony Hall.

Britiah Open
  The broadcast encountered some technical problems

The production providers of the live-stream broadcast of the 2019 British Open Championships, Worldofbrass.tv and Stagecast have issued a statement concerning the event.

World of Brass statement:

You will probably be aware that we encountered unforeseen technical problems during the livestream, especially in the morning session, caused by issues with the internet connection between Symphony Hall and our cloud video platform.

The full live broadcast is being re-uploaded as quickly as possible and will be available to watch here shortly. This version will be available to watch again until next Saturday, 14 September.

While it is very difficult to ensure a completely robust internet connection for streaming in every circumstance, we go to great lengths to ensure successful delivery of our livestreams and very much regret the disappointment today�s problems will have caused, and will take all possible steps to minimise a recurrence of similar problems on future events.

Although today�s issues were beyond our control, we recognise that many of you will have been disappointed by the interruptions to the stream.

Therefore if you would like to request a refund of your online ticket please contact us via support@stagecast.net using the email address associated with your account, for a full refund of your payment.

Please note � all times listed are local and are subject to change — GMT+1
