I'm frustrated about the concert "postponements" because that means that I'm carrying all the ticket charges on my cards.

ticketmaster and eventbrite have no exposure.

Totally agree. -- nm - pmb May 26, 13:25
I imagine you could see if the credit card company wants to do anything about it. -- nm - Qale May 26, 13:15
It's like politicians "suspending" their campaigns instead of ending them. They're not technically out so they don't have to give up any money. -- nm - Open Baron May 26, 13:13
They also don't have the capital to make refunds for everything -- nm - decline May 26, 13:08
That's why I cancelled as much as I could. Plus the rush of refunds could take some time -- nm - budice May 26, 13:07
Are people allowed to get refunds for postponed shows? - ty97 May 26, 13:07 2
- not on this one -- nm - groiny May 26, 13:13
- In the future, if it gets cancelled. If rescheduled, maybe. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 13:08
its horrible and I hope they get a class action over it -- nm - Pippy - Crazy Town Banana Pants May 26, 13:06 5
- You win! Here's $2 off a future show. - Ticketmaster May 26, 13:26 4
  - Heh. I didn't even get that -- nm - JD May 26, 13:27 3
    - Are you sure? -- (link) - JaxSean May 26, 13:31 2
      - Oh hey! Thanks for that as it turns out I was wrong. I've got $31.50 (14 x 2.25) - JD May 26, 13:37
      - back in the 80s there was a class action over fees, the settlement was so in their favor I wonder if they didn't sponsor the suit themselves... - zeitgeist May 26, 13:35
You know the rule. Ticketmaster *always* wins. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 13:05
yep, and 4 tickets to that wrigley show is $$$$ -- nm - groiny May 26, 13:05 11
- I mean, the "convenience charges" alone on my tickets is over $100. it just feels so shady that I pay them to make ticketing easier - amanda May 26, 13:11 10
  - Actually that makes me wonder...who is keeping that money? At what point does a ticketing service pay the promoter? Combined with declines comment - JD May 26, 13:15 8
    - I'd think and I could be wrong - the promoter doesn't get paid UNTIL the show actually happens. - Pippy - Crazy Town Banana Pants May 26, 13:20 7
      - Whoa. *whistles* that some serious deep pockets to be able to front some of the really big shows that go on sale nearly a year in advance - JD May 26, 13:25 6
        
        Do they use local union ironworkers for that? -- nm - loosilu May 26, 13:27 4
        
        So I was able to look up that thing was officially "The Claw" but nothing on how / who built it -- (link) - JD May 26, 13:40 3
        
        "The 360° tour crew consisted of 137 touring production crew supplemented by over 120 hired locally." From wiki. - loosilu May 26, 13:54 1
        
        Oh. Heh. Chalk that one up to being more engineer than having common sense. I was looking for the company that built structure - JD May 26, 13:58
        
        That's fantastic. Never would have known in a million years. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 13:48
        
        it's why Live NAtion sold $500 Mill of itself to MBS the Saudi Prince -- nm - Remlik May 26, 13:27
  - for sure, it sucks -- nm - groiny May 26, 13:13
