NEW YORK: The much-anticipated sale of tickets for this summer's Woodstock 50 anniversary concerts has been on hold for a few days now.

Tickets for the three-day festival on Aug 16-18 were supposed to be available last week. The festival then released a statement, saying: "Woodstock 50 has delayed its on sale while we refine logistical plans."

The statement adds, "Ticket on sale information will be available through Woodstock.com in the coming days."

Jay-Z, Dead & Company and the Killers were announced as headliners of Woodstock 50, commemorating the groundbreaking Woodstock festival.

Already, a number of bands have pulled out of the long-awaited festival, including one of its main acts, The Black Keys.

Yet, the organisers have reassured that the main event will be hosted, and that all plans are still very much moving forward.

The festival is set to take place in Watkins Glen, New York, about 115 miles (185 kilometers) northwest of the original site.

The event is separate from an anniversary concert planned at the site of the original festival in 1969.
