Years ago I got a series of $2.25 off ticket vouchers in a class action settlement against Ticketmaster. I think it was for the way they charge their extra fees to the base price of the ticket. Something like that might be the punishment Ticketmaster gets for what they are doing now but it will take a long time for something like that to go through the court system.

Quotebv The concert industry are digging their own grave by holding on to the ticket money. People will remember next time they try to sell tickets, which will not be for a long long while. Unfortunately, I disagree. Very few people are going to sacrifice their favorite concert like the Rolling Stones or sporting event because they are taking a principled stand against Ticketmaster.

Refund executed for Atlanta a few minutes ago. They were Lucky Dip if anyone wants them maybe check and see if it goes back in the Ticketmaster system. I'm confident I can find a couple more if I'm able to go to a rescheduled show.

QuotePinballWizard23 So are they refunding ATL yet? Really scratching my head on the answer I got from ticketmaster on Friday stating promoter hasn’t approved ATL for refund yet but I can try and sell my tickets if I wish. Thought that response was beyond ridiculous. No. My posts above were referring to Atlanta. Good luck.

QuoteIrix Quotetonyc Is not this tour and all the Cohl tours of the past handled by the same promoter? No, the Tours 2013-2020 were promoted by the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) - . I worded my post poorly. I knew it was not Cohl anymore. But, nevertheless, AEG is "one" promoter so my original question should still be valid as to why refunds are not uniform at all shows

I saw Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues October 29. A few days later Elton John November 1. Nothing since then. I knew the lockdown was coming so I was getting very interested in seeing a show close by and chose America and it ended up being one day too late March 14 so no show.

After being refused a refund for Atlanta on live chat yesterday, Ticketmaster live chat is now blocking me from talking with anyone with a message about postponed and no refunds until a new date is announced. I don't understand why each show is different since it is the same promoter for all shows?

Quotesteffialicia I just noticed that on TM, Atlanta still says 7/9. Atlanta is showing "postponed" on my account page. No refund option yet. I think I will get the refund when the option appears. It should be no problem finding tickets if I want to go to a rescheduled show.

Through The Years was my favorite. Kenny Rogers was one of my first concerts in the early 90s. He was doing a corporate event at Marriott's Orlando World Center in a convention ballroom. My family was there organizing another event and the sales staff arranged for us to see him from the front row.

If The Who can still keep going in 2021 then no reason our Stones shows can't happen either. Be positive!
Forum: Tell Me

I don't necessarily advocate the Rolling Stones should do this but there should be artists wanting to do something on live broadcast TV. So far, only John Legend has decided to do it. Consider all network TV programs will be in reruns very soon because they cannot make new shows. And with everyone hunkered in at home why not volunteer for free massive exposure with your music?

Also happy for a postponement instead of a cancellation. Since I have Lucky Dip for Atlanta, I don't really mind Ticketmaster keeping my money for now. But, I would understand those who spent a lot more wanting a refund option now.

CNN Center is probably the closest place for some sort of meet and greet. A large fast food court, a couple of more upscale restaurants and bars, and a large area of chairs and couches where people can just gather. It is connected to the arena which is just across the street from the stadium.
Forum: Tell Me

It is not a surprise to me there is a lot of tickets left. That stadium is really large in a concert configuration considering that behind the stage is where the fewest seats are. A weeknight in late May is not optimal either. And there are lots of other big events in the region within a month of the show. They got a pretty big opener last time with Brad Paisley and surprise guest Joe Walsh.
