Live Nation Punishes the Biggest Fans
I among many other fans bought the "10 SHOWS" package for the Palladium. When October 2 and 4th were cancelled, the press release said "your tickets can be used for EITHER Oct. 8th or 9th."
Turns out, this was complete bullshit (if you bought the 10 show). I went tonight, with 4 tickets for tonight, and 4 of my (NEVER USED, NEVER WAS-A-SHOW) tickets for Oct. 2.
The Oct. 2nd tickets were rejected at the door, and I was sent to BUY NEW TICKETS at the box office. (I had brought 8 friends, using the tickets from the first cancelled night, and valid ones from tonight).
Apparently, the only tickets that WEREN'T GOOD FROM THE CANCELLED SHOWS, were those bought as part of the 10 show package.
So -- basically. LIVE NATION chose to screw those fans who went out of their way to buy every show in advance.
If anyone else in in the same position, let me know.
It takes guts to be gentle and kind,
Thomas Lennon (Lt. Dangle from Reno 911!)

Not so much as an email, nor official word prior.
The "dime" pack should have been honored for these nights, especially since we are being charged for 'service' and their original BS promo that you buy 9 shows and get the 10th free.
Truly...

As a consumer, I'm actually quite fed up with Ticketmaster's UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE AND MONOPOLISTIC BUSINESS PRACTICES!!
The promoters are just as bad. They need do a better job training and educating thier employees/contractors at the venues.
Something needs to be done. Perhaps this can be my next big cause. We shall see.

Pretty much sucks that it happened that way. I hope they do the right thing and at least reimburse for the difference of the discounted shows + for the cancelled shows. It's only right.

Say, did Thomas Lennon really intend for his personal e-mail address to be made public here on Morrissey-Solo?
P.S. By the way, today just happens to be the anniversary of the birth of John Lennon.

That's what happens when several hundred Moz fans wash the hair grease from their hands after touching up their quiffs. it causes the sewer to clog and back up.
Oh well. They might as well give SOME value for the canceled shows.

I was so convinced I posted on the threads! Then I learned they lied to me. The posted apology rreally does not help but a free night of Moz for two would.
