The NORTH AMERICAN offices of ticket agency
TICKETMASTER have posted the below statement on refunds for "postponed" shows due to COVID19.
According to DIGITAL MUSIC NEWS, world wide ticket agency TICKETMASTER are NOT offering refunds for "postponed" or "re-scheduled" events, only for cancelled events.
COVID19 (CORONA VIRUS) has paused music, sporting, and work events due to mass gathering restrictions.
FROM TICKETMASTER:
"Ticketmaster serves as the sales platform for event organizers worldwide. Our standard practice is for clients to hold the cash from their ticket sales. Clients using our platform also retain the ability to set individual policies for their postponed or rescheduled events.
"Typically, event organizers have had the flexibility to offer
refunds for virtually all postponed and rescheduled events. However, the
unprecedented volume of over 30,000 events impacted to date, coupled
with continued uncertainty over setting new dates while awaiting
clearance from regional governments, has led to event organizers needing
additional time to reschedule their events before deciding to offer
refund options.
"As of today, over 11,000 events, including over 4,000 postponed sports, concerts and arts events, have already authorized refunds. While we cannot guarantee all event organizers will offer refunds on their rescheduled events, we anticipate the vast majority will make a refund window available once new dates have been determined. In addition, Ticketmaster continues to issue refunds for all canceled events.
"The entire Ticketmaster team is working from home and doing its best to respond to all fans and clients. We will continue to keep fans up to date on the status of events via email and via our Covid-19 event portal."
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
