Bet they don't refund the extortionate booking fee though

You might have a long wait, I imagine all the cash will go into the estate and after all the costs etc there wont be much left for his creditors, as for those mugs who bought on ebay HA HA

The promoters will have to give a full refund as they have insured the events for a worst case scenario.

Here is what I said on another thread, it seems approapriate here too. Bear in mind that at this point in time nothing has been confirmed:

The times are suggesting (and this is not confirmed) that only 10 of the 50 dates may have been insured, as nobody was willing to take on the entire liability. The promoter AEG insisted that they are able to take the liability for the remaining dates themselves. I hope that AEG's finances are in good order...

However, if you booked through ticketmaster, their policy is to refund the booking charge too.

I'd imagine that the ticket alone would be worth just a little bit more...

I suggest rather than sending it back, you keep hold of it for now.

Agreed, hold onto it, you can put your kids through college with it in a decade or so.

Russ got 2 tickets for a gig next Feb , purchased on my card. Should get a full refund as it was via Ticketmaster plus the fact I will be covered under Section 75 as the card purchase was over £100.

Those with tickets had a lucky escape - an expensive two hours of a shot-to-pieces Wacko miming his way through the hits - you're better off with your memories.

Personally I don't think anyone should get a refund and all of the monies should become accumulated into a pot.

Someone is going to make a huge loss on this.

The O2 will have to be paid for the 50 nights they have booked out, yet they will still lose out on money from bars etc.

The promoter will also have to pay the hundreads of dancers/designers/technicians/musicans who have been working flat out for the last few months on rehersals. I just hope the fans manage to get their money back at some point alng the line.

They announced on the radio news shortly, they are all going to be refunded.


I think they could do something special, and bring in other stars to do a tribute thing, honour the dates, kinda like a 50 date version of the freddie mercury tribute.

why not? and what is this pot for?

 

[pork pie]

Anybody know the current situation about geting a refund if you have bought a ticket for one of his summer concerts?

No refunds. They will use a strange looking puppet and hope nobody notices the difference.

They'll be fine if they used PayPal.

"According to a spokeswoman for eBay, fans who purchased their tickets from private sellers on the online auction site should first contact the seller to obtain a refund. If the purchase was made with a PayPal account, it is also covered by insurance and a claim must be filed within 45 days."
