From the consumer point of view, I’m a yes. But it would have been good to have reps from Ticketmaster and Eventim in this exchange. There’s another side. The promoter and the ticketer may be ultimately the same company and whether they are or not they may have a common interest in the service charges not being refunded. So it can be that it’s not just an argument where the ticketer says we’ve done our work so we should be paid, but also an argument where the promoter has uninsurable show costs which can’t be voided and which the artist won’t contribute to.
