Music fans angered over Ticketmaster refusing refunds for canceled concerts

Ticketmaster, a major American hub for buying concert tickets, recieved backlash from concert-goers after an update to the refund policy on its website seemed to make it unlikely most concerts postponed by the coronavirus will be refunded.

The change was meant to clarify its stance, but received criticism from refund-seeking consumers who had ordered tickets for live events.

Originally, Ticketmaster's website used to say that refunds were "available if your event is postponed, rescheduled or canceled," the New York Times reports. Then, the page was edited to say refunds "are available if your event is canceled."

I have never liked having to use ticketmaster, and I quit doing it. If I can't buy tickets directly, I won't buy them. Ticketmaster charges way too much.

Ticketmaster will be just a name from history soon enough.

Ticketmaster is just a rip off

Ticketmaster steals and over charges everyone involved. Ticket to see Miranda Lambert in Branson $45-$80, in Baltimore thru Ticketmaster $90- $245. If they are involved the prices go way up to pay all of their thieves. Branson just sells the ticket out the venue box office directly.
