So within covid we had tickets for Rosanne Cash. Obviously cancelled. They wouldn't refund. This was March 2019. I left emails with no response several times over 2020. This year I have called. Finally reached someone today who said they sent out a secret email (no doubt bound for junk) in January telling us how to get refund...no letter, just email.
Anyway window closed so I am screwed out of my money. Really a poor & somewhat cheesy way to do business...!!
