Guest bluejean Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Insurance doesnt cover it you uninformed know it all!!!!! This must be the Twitter Travel Expert Chelle, someone who worked for an airline told me once you are legally entitled to a refund. I don't know how true that is but He helped me get some money refunded when I missed a flight.At the very least you should be able to change the flight for a fee. If it's through one of those cheap ass agents it will be hard work I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrus Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Insurance doesnt cover it you uninformed know it all!!!!! This must be the Twitter Travel Expert Everytime I book a flight booking system offers insurance, and it covers most of the cases including the refusal of the trip for personal reasons.

ryan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't really see why it's so crucial to go to the first night show, and be the first to see it before the rest of fans. I personally would rather see a show later in the tour because it's better because the opening night always has a few mistakes and kinks that she works out later.Oh please, if opening night was just 3 hrs or less from your home you'd go there. You don't need to put up an attitude because of someone's frustrations. These people are allowed to be mad over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Didn't she cancel the first DWT date ? Oh I don't know. I thought it was Barcelona. I was there. That's why I understand those who want to be the very first day. It's an incredible experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to put up an attitude because of someone's frustrations. These people are allowed to be mad over this. I think her reaction is over the fact some say they won't go to see her because it won't be the opening night. That's a bit extreme you must admit.

karbatal Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well I can understand it. Sometimes you can't afford a Madonna concert. Fact. And when you are in doubt if you can spend that much money, maybe being the first night makes the difference. There's no sin if you don't go to a tour, although some people here seem to have a heart attack at the mere thought. Maybe they have never struggled with money or have never been in a depression and you don't feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rachelle of London Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I used to work in the travel industry and I've never seen this kind of insurance, sorry. Maybe in Russia, but not in Canada. Not in the UK either. Travel insurers will not give me my money back because Madonna has rescheduled oh and to Mr Travel Expert I have full travel insurance.

ULIZOS Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yes, people have a right to be angry. But they have no right to blame Madonna for their decisions to book non-refundable flights or hotels. You always can book a hotel at bookiing.com (without paying a cent till the day of arrival) or book a flight with any kind of insurance. It's not Madonna's fault that you don't think of the things like that. Sorry, but shut the fuck up. Madonna made a committment with her fans and unless there's a really, REALLY good reason for cancelling, everyone has the right to be pissed off. I love Madonna, but this is fucked up and unprofessional. She's on fucking Twitter all fucking day long giving us all her opinion about every petty little thing but she can't send her fans a little message before cancelling on all of us. Also, Madonna tours are starting to seem like a really stressful hassel. At the end of the day if she doesn't cancel on you, if you're lucky enough to get noticed by Guy Ritchie to get in the golden trinagle or whatever, or have the 400 - 500 dollars to be up close, you'll have a blast and see a fantastic show, but this isn't fun anymore. It just comes off as Live Nation and Guy O'Seary trying their hardest to make the most money possible off of Madonna. She releases an album and the only thing they're thinking about is concert tickets and presales and ridiculously overpriced VIP passes and tacky tour merchandise.

James0479 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) For a lot of people, it's incredibly hard and near hurtful to press that confirm button for two tickets that comes to a total of $850. And that was just back floor and lower level. Sure, if you don't have the money nobody's making you spend it. But dammit sometimes people say "I deserve a good time. It's one thing. I'll pay for it but it'll be a great time out. Just do it!" Some may be relieved at this news because they'll just get their tickets refunded and cancel it off. But those who booked everything, got time off work, rental car lined up, etc etc...i totally feel their frustrations. It IS a chance you take with any future event but I guess it hurts harder when it's Madonna because she excites more than most do so it's that much more disappointing. It's cool to offer advice to help point people in the right direction of how to recover their money or change plans without breaking the bank, but insulting their intelligence or shushing them off is ridiculous. This is a forum and it's not like they are pressed because GhostTown has a minus on it this week. This is actually press worthy.

Kim Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Reprehensible, and the nonchalance from some quarters about it is hilarious and appalling in equal measure. How many sell-outs do we have so far in the 50 odd date tour anyway? 5? 6? Is it any wonder? The excuse is just insulting too... reminds me of the Manc Sticky & Sweet cancellation. "logistical problems" being the cover for them not even having sold 5000 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"logistical problems" being the cover for them not even having sold 5000 tickets. Oh I know. People saying there is no evidence the tour isn't selling well ? One show in LA, one show in Vegas, only two shows in NY when she usually plays around six, a third show in London had to be chopped because of lack of demand for the first show. Planned second shows for Birminghan and Glasgow axed. How much more evidence do people need? The prices are too high and they have fucked people off too many times.
