As reported by financial site ZeroHedge on 21 April:
" Last week, New York lawmakers opened an investigation into Ticketmaster after the company revamped its refund policy to exclude postponed events. The policy change meant refunds would only be guaranteed for events that are cancelled. Ticketmaster also received criticism from members of Congress.
....Apparently the pressure was enough to cause the entertainment industry to cave. Ticketmaster and events promoter Live Nation will now refund customers who purchased tickets to events that have been postponed."
" On May 1, Ticketmaster customers will be emailed to initiate a full refund. If they do not request a refund within 30 days, their ticket will be valid for the rescheduled date. "
" Ticketmaster has so far cancelled or postponed 30,000 events worth $2 billion in ticket sales. With more than 25,000 events still scheduled for the year, Ticketmaster expects additional events to be cancelled or postponed and will offer refunds on a rolling basis. "
(I'll be happy if Eilen Jewell still tours here at the rescheduled Nov date, as she says she will & my ticket is still valid.)
