Ticketmaster Service Fees not refunded.

[baloriole4]

The Yankees have refunded ALL fees from unplayed postseason tickets on Ticketmaster. Not sure why the Orioles can't do the same.

The Yankees aren't done refunding if Detroit can win one of the next two at home.

It was very clear when the tickets were ordered that the service charge was non-refundable. That was expressly stated before you got to the point where you had to commit to purchase the tickets.

The email I received from Ticketmaster states somerthing else:

Thanks for reaching out to us about your event. We have confirmed that your upcoming event has been canceled:

Checked my account last night, and two charges had been credited back on. Not sure which ones they were, but I'm pretty sure it was the WC and D3 game. I'll have to double check to be sure, but at least they're FINALLY coming back.

Got my refund, minus the $6, credited to my account today. I'm really not that bent out of shape by the $6, it was pretty clearly stated in the disclaimer before I made the purchase. Good for the people who are getting it back, though. I just don't care enough about it to put up a fight, lol.

I didn't see this posted, but I could have missed it. Wow, I was under the impression the feed were ticketmaster related, apparently not. Way to treat the fan-base. They had better put that 500k to use, since it costs them absolutely nothing and is essentially FREE money.

That's a pretty easy way to make some money eh.

It should be expected. Whether you agree with it or not, it should be expected. That's why there's a service charge in the first place, so they always get a cut, not matter what happens with the event.

Exactly. Its no different than booking a cruise, or airfare, or vacation, etc. There is typically a processing fee that does not get refunded if the trip is canceled.

I would love to have the money back, but it was a chance I took, and to quote my wife, "It is what it is!"

If you buy something and it has processing and handling charges, usually if you return it you don't get that money back either.

Almost the had a framed policy which lets you return and refund on purchasing. The refund applies when you cancel your ticket and it falls under certain condition keeping in mind  Ticketmaster Return Policy. You will receive the refund within 7-10 days of canceling the ticket. The Ticketmaster Return Policy also provides you with rescheduling options.

Well Ticketmaster will be in big trouble because I expect attendance will be wayyy down.
