BadApples87 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I am pleased to say that I actually got my refund already. Hopefully GNR will come to town again in the next few years. Otherwise, I've seen them 5 times, not to mention VR and Slash solo, so if that's it -that's all folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJayman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I am looking at going to the Fenway Park show next year. I have never seen them live before. 1) is it worth it to see them? 2) Do you think I should buy my ticket now, or wait until show day?

Of course go if uve not seen this before loads of people have seen them loads of time including me it is a good day out. As for tixs nx year is 50 50 as too any shows happen any where due too C19 it's a gamble no harm in buying 1 it's when you start paying for Flights Hotels Airport parking etc etc it gets expensive. My top top travel tip for nx year 101% book FREE CANCELLATION Hotels where ever anyone is going the amount of people losing hundreds of GBP cos they pre paid is crazy.

TheJayman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I always book free cancellation- sorry to hear about all the prepaid burns. Reason I ask about #2 is I don't want to pay $160 for a ticket to have a view if I don't have to- I want to see them on a budget. If I wait, will I find tickets cheaper?

My advice would be absolutely leave it. The venues are way too big for them, so (if the shows happen at all) you should be able to pick up a bargain nearer the time. Worst case scenario is that you end up paying face value (which if you're prepared to do anyway, really isn't a problem). As for your question "is it worth it to see them", that's entirely subjective of course. Personally, I'd say yes, especially if you haven't seen them before. The only downer is the expensive ticket price, which hopefully you can afford anyway. I'm sure some people would tell you it isn't worth it anymore, but I'd disagree on that. I'd say go for it. Hope that helps! Edited August 4, 2020 by allwaystired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1768 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The uncertainty of current conditions and the horrible refund procedure by TM has resulted in me waiting until show date for the foreseeable future. I'm curious how stadium shows will sell if they actually take place in 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourcrazy Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m still debating on keeping mine or getting a refund for Detroit. I thought I have decent tickets and the show is rescheduled. Does anyone know when the tickets go on sale for the new date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJayman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks all, I only know a handful of songs so I was debating it, sounds like if I hold out it will be well worth it for a fun evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tickets, depends on whether you have any standards on where you want to see them. If you just care to get into the venue, then waiting might be the best option. If you want to be in a specific section, waiting might not be the best idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he/she was coming from the angle of "I only know a handful of songs" so was wondering if the money was worth it, rather than anything else.

TheJayman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) That is correct, I am approaching it from the angle of "if I only know a few songs, is it worth it?" (He, by the way, the nickname is short for Jason :-) ) my only standard is that I want to visibly see the stage, without an obstructed view. Aside from that I could care less where I sit :-) ) Edited August 4, 2020 by TheJayman Clarify seating question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be plenty of tickets, that give you unobstructed view, available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 So its been about 20 days since I requested refund through TM and still nothing. They said 30 days (if approved, whatever that means) so hopefully any day now......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming from a Europe position here, rather than a US one, but I've not had any responses to my emails. The show is cancelled outright, so I've no idea what's going on.

There was a "refund" button to press to our TM account. Shortly after I proceeded with requesting a refunded I had received an automated email indicating that they've received the request, no further action is needed, and it would take up to 30 days. When I log into my account it basically indicates the same. It's on the Canadian side for a postponed show (but I believe the process was the same for the US folks).

That sounds slightly more orgaised that the total fuckery I'm dealing with at least. It's more like I've bought a ticket to a backyard boxing match and am trying to get money back from a fly-by-night gangster that a large scale concert from Ticketmaster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJean Baby Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I got my refund in 4 days, but was from the venue not TM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I got a refund from my credit card company as I filed a chargeback on the purchase. TM finally sent a refund to me officially on the 14th August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1768 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Received a credit card refund today and I filed a charge back on the original announcement day to "wait another week". TM still shows refund pending. What a shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Been in contact with my bank as it's now been over 2 months (!!!) since the show was supposed to happen and not heard a thing regarding any refund. It seemed quite an easy process to get going.....but I don't know whether it will be successful or not. Got my fingers crossed. Do Ticketmaster just expect me to forget about my money and let them keep it?! It's total madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
