What if I accidentally buy too many tickets, because I forgot that I had already bought tickets, and then even after receiving ALL tickets the week of the show decide to do nothing and then apply for a refund AFTER the show?
Sorry pal, we cannot issue refunds that are requested AFTER the event has taken place.
But what about if I get super aggressive and rude in my emails - will that help my chances?
It might help your chances of receiving a rather bunt response back, as well as having a DISCLAIMER named after you.
