WhiteTim Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 15 minutes ago, Justin said: Don't give a fuck if it wasn't their show or not, 95% of people would have bought tickets for Toronto just to see them. Not rescheduling or getting refunds is a shit move by the band. Basically saying "not my problem blame the NHL" It's not really their event the NHL are the ones who booked the venue handled the tickets etc unlike the other shows it's on the NHL to refund the tickets to the people where as the other shows are GD's responsibility and said the other shows will be taken care of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just say "well it's your wedding not a gig for us". You're right about the NHL should take accountability of the refunds but the band should plan or make some statement on how they plan on making it up to fans. Most of us have lost money on our accommodation and travel. That's hundreds of dollars just wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh I hate when people who don't know how booking works try to speak like they do... again Toronto wasn't their show it was apart of the whole NHL thing meaning NHL paid the group the band doesn't get ticket sale money didn't have to pay for the venue so tell me exactly how is it GD responsibility to refund tickets they didn't get money for and didn't invest in? To use a scenario likes yours it'd be like you paying for a band to perform at my wedding and they cancel and pay back the money to ME instead of you I'm sure when the band actually books the full world tour I'm sure they'll do something on their own for Toronto but right now they were only doing Toronto cause of the NHL deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference a pure and simple one is that, as s band you have a ton of followers and people who invest money in you. Countless bands who have had to cancel events take a hit financially as a way of apologising to fans. I saw RATM for free 6 years ago. It's called putting your money where your mouth is and making it up to fans who have been left out of pocket. The day when the band make minimum wage like many people who bought tickets to see their favourite band do is the day I'll say they shouldn't repay the favour. Your idealistic approach is great but when you're the one who lost hundreds of dollars come back to me and repeat your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Damn, that really sucks. A lot of people booked flights and hotels that can't be cancelled. I do wish the band a speedy recovery, and I hope they do something extra special for the people they had to cancel on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sensible venues have insurance for exactly these kinds of events. Insurance is also offered to fans when they buy tickets. Not saying it makes anything better, but there are things in place to help everyone deal with the financial side of cancellation. Doesn't help disappointment though.

If you have a ticket for one of the postponed shows, it's valid for the rearranged one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understood correctly your ticket will be valid for the new date Quote Schedule permitting, Green Day will make up all dates but Toronto, and tickets will be honored at the new dates.
