Even as PanTrin­ba­go pres­i­dent Bev­er­ly Ram­sey-Moore con­tin­ued to de­fend the in­clu­sion of cor­po­rate spon­sors in the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah’s North Stand, long-time pan en­thu­si­asts firm­ly main­tain that the stand should be re­served for fans who ap­pre­ci­ate the art­form the most.

The con­cerns emerged when PanTrin­ba­go, on their of­fi­cial Face­book ac­count, re­port­ed that tick­ets to the North Stand were sold out for yes­ter­day’s se­mi-fi­nal rounds of Panora­ma’s large and medi­um cat­e­gories.

Sev­er­al so­cial me­dia users took to the com­ment sec­tion to ex­press their dis­sat­is­fac­tion with the de­ci­sion, as they felt the in­clu­sion of more cor­po­rate en­ti­ties would lim­it the num­ber of “hard­core” pan en­thu­si­asts who could ac­cess the stands.
