Actually if tickets were sold via ticketmaster, there would be a refund in the event of a postponement…regardless of state.

GGW's right - 10 years from now you'll all get refunds for postponement, but right now, only CA.

That ain't so:

"Ticketmaster typically only offers refunds and/or exchanges based on the promoter's, team's or venue's instructions. In order to receive a refund or an exchange that may be offered, you will have to comply with the promoter's, team's or venue's instructions or deadlines, which, along with the decision about whether or not to issue a refund or an exchange, may be at the promoter's, team's or venue's discretion."

Ahh, but from past experience, I've gotten refunds EVEN for lineup changes and/or time changes, and definitely postponements.
But they may have been from ticketweb, not ticketmaster.

I guess the lesson to be had here is that if you're not sure you're gonna make it to a show at the 930 - don't buy a ticket.

Sorry to disappoint, but thats not quite the truth. i had tix to see people in planes at the bowery, and they moved their show to another venue, since blue october couldnt play. refunds were given even tho the event was rescheduled. that could be thanks to ticketweb (part of ticketmaster? perhaps). but i did write the bowery and they were also willing to give me a refund. on top of it, bowery encouraged me to get a refund for the people in planes show since it was cheaper at the mercury. LOL im surprised that tickets.com dont give refunds for a show thats been rescheduled. i got enough refunds out of them in the past.

but thankfully i should be seeing snow patrol sat. night in NYC assuming they dont cancel here as well.

havent heard much of their new stuff - but dont see how in the hell they can be compared to the goo goo dolls. i see them being more similar to travis than any goo goo dolls stuff. and speaking of travis, wonder what ever happened to them.

Could the refund have had anything to do with the fact that the event changed venues and price? I imagine we would be giving refunds in that situation as well.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I don't think that the ticket vendor is the one to make these decisions. It seems it's at the mercy of whomever has hired the vendor to take care of such matters. With that said, I do know that Ticketmaster is notorious for keeping their service fees when refunds are granted. I could be wrong about this but you have a lot of different players here with their irons in the fire so sometimes it will appear to be in one entity's hands when it's really due to another.

actually the event was rescheduled ala snow patrol. but the openers (people in planes) just happened to be having a show the same night at the mercury. but the headliner (and people in planes) are still playing the bowery for their "original" date. but if im correct i think bowery and mercury share ownership? im not sure, but i figured that was the only reason bowery told me to get a refund and see PIP for cheaper. im not sure how many people tried to get a refund, because i guess if you liked blue october you'd still wanna see them.

im not saying 9:30 should do this, i just thought it was interesting.
