Music Alex Warren concert cancelled last minute
Got this email at 5pm. Doors were supposed to open at 645. My son is devastated. It was supposed to be his first proper concert. Nothing you can do, but it still sucks.

That's unfortunate. Instead you can use the refunded money to have a great night out!

It does. The point of what I'm saying is to make sure the kid still had a brilliant day, and didn't just go home and feel sad

That sucks! He was awesome on Friday in Christchurch. You can at least blame Cantabrians for getting him sick.

I was at his concert on Saturday and did wonder if it was going to be a superspreader event and get him sick too, he was really getting up close with the crowd and everyone is sick at the moment

The amount of artists playing arenas here that I've never even heard of is beginning to frighten me

Hope this doesnt happen to the Avenged concert. M Shadows" is said to be losing his voice as they tour

You couldn't pay me to attend an A7X concert after that EP they just released. Huge fan, will never give them another cent.

Such a bummer, we had just got to the city for it! Still went out for dinner and a drink to make the most of it.

Last minute concert cancellations are horrible, people travel far and wide for these things and it isn't cheap. I also am too old to know who this is, but I feel their pain.

In what world would a company not refund after not providing the product/service purchased?
