How is it legal to cancel concerts w/o refunds

[frostythepoptart]

I'm just curious. I started attending more music festivals and concerts. And they all have this rain or shine no refunds policy.

If you don't get the service you paid for why wouldn't you get your money back

They state this in the ticket fine print I'm assuming. So the buyer knows the risk. Your essentially paying for the opportunity to see the event if the weather permits it

My school had a concert with Fab, Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, French Montana, Lloyd, Ashanti outside.. Started to rain, and they took everything from out in the open to cover it up (30min delay).. Then restarted... Went through a few people..By the time Banks came out (he was headlining) it was pouring...

Concerts in the rain >

If it's stated "at your own risk" there is nothing you can do about it.

Dont worry your school was already raping you. The concert was just a reminder now bend back over

Does this apply to the weather only? How about if the artist decides to cancel?

Bobby Valentino cancelled in my city because he find out one of the radio djs was making jokes and had other people calling in making jokes about his height.

Usually when events at a venue are cancelled, refunds are given at original point of purchase (box office, ticketmaster), which still screws anyone who bought the ticket 2nd hand like directly from a person or ebay, CL, or stubhub. For example that's what the NBA did when they had that preseason Heat-Magic game but the floor was too slippery because of the ice

So what if you go to a concert and 1 of the acts doesn't show up? Can you get a refund?

A ticket is a contract. Read the terms of use

Went to a Jeezy concert in April and it got shot up right before he went on stage. Ticketmaster issued refunds like 2-3 weeks later. His next stop in a neighboring city also got shot up the next day before he went on stage and no refunds were issued. I guess sometimes it depends on the promoters.

I dont think you can get a refund in that case

OP.....I am confused. The title of the thread and the corresponding original post have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

You ask how its legal to cancel concerts without refunds.....simple answer is it is not.

You completely are misinterpreting what "Rain or Shine" mean. It means the concert will go on regardless of weather conditions. They just have to say that because people are not entitled to refunds if they choose not to sit in the rain.

UAlbany bruh?

Yup.

Yea but if I buy a ticket to see Artist A, and he doesn't show up, why wouldn't they give a refund? They might as well say Jay Z is gonna come just to sell all the tix.
The reason I ask is because I've gone to a couple summer jam type concerts and I'm like, didn't they say artist A,B and Artist C were gonna be there?
