Refunding a ticket

    Hi All,

    I just want to check my position on this. I bought a ticket for an event. The event date was changed. A girl I know was going to buy the ticket but backed out. The event is next week and the promoters are saying I left it too long for a refund.

    I did contract law in college and as far as I'm aware, given that they changed the date, I am entitled to request a refund.

    Does anyone know where I could find some more information?

    Have you checked the terms & conditions on the ticket (if there are any). I think ticketmaster cover themselves for date changes, but usually offer a refund.

    How long ago did they change the date? If you left it for 3 months for example that can be taken as you accept the new date.

    sell it for face value on toutless.com

    If the original date has already passed and you hadn't requested a refund, then I'd say they are correct.

    If the original date is still to come or was literally just last weekend, you should get a refund.

    The original date was July 30/31st

    I'll check the t's and c's on the ticket, my friend has it at the moment. They changed the date I think in June. I'd have asked earlier but as I said, someone was going to take it.

    Wont be able to sell it on toutless, a good few people are trying to sell theirs at the moment.

    June was 2-3 months ago, which means that you have effectively accepted the change of date. Ticketmaster have no obligation to you right now.

    Also, check out the tickets section on Adverts. Try to sell it in as many places as you can.

    No mention of cutoff dates which I would have expected, there was a similar follow up email with no date limit either. But I still think they might have covered themselves in T&Cs.
