    Your reservation has been cancelled for your stay at Radisson Hotel Baltimore Downtown-Inner Harbor. Please find the details of the cancelled reservation below. We hope you stay with Radisson or at another Radisson Hotel Group hotel again soon.

    Urgh.

    Just...fucking...URGH.


    Was this a confirmation message, or did they just cancel it without you requesting?

    I called.

    They knew what I was gonna ask for before I even got it out of my mouth.

    Also, the news about Amtrak is true.  Full refunds if you call up and speak to a live rep.

    Outside of the cost of the show ticket, which will get used eventually, this cancellation cost me nothing but abject misery.

    Hooray....or something.

    A bunch of standard (as opposed to fan-to-fan) pairs up right now.  Odd, but feeds my suspicions that at least in some cities, tickets were held back to 'seed' the fan to fan. In cities where there was an abundance of tickets, like QC, we saw entire rows of standard tickets drop at some points.

    That's amazing!  I need to call them (Nash) and Delta (Denver).  I still can't believe all of this and can't shake it.  Ugh!

    Just canceled my Amtrak tickets for a full refund. I had a nice conversation with the rep about Pearl Jam. He is a fan but has never seen them. He lives in Florida and they haven't been there in a while. He told me his mom lives in NJ, so I told him to check out the Sea Hear Now festival. He said he just may do that. Spreading the word!

    From TMs perspective it makes sense to keep F2F open as it would limit refunds. They don’t care who buys the ticket and would much rather hold cash than unsold tickets for an unknown date.

    I wonder if all of these "standard tickets" are people who have called and requested a refund.

    i was tempted to bite on those....are they a bit too behind the stage? lower seat numbers (to the right) and I might've jumped.

    Not as much as refunding their cut of the original sale

    I walked into a pic of the tour cancellation graphic and the words 'Jeremy has spoken' on my office door.

    I ripped the goddamn thing off and launched it across the office.

    I am not in the fucking mood to be ribbed or have my balls busted right now.

    I'm not sure why so many take pleasure in the disappointment of others.  Its very weird to me.

    Except only would do that if eventually gets cancelled. F2F is costing them to administrate and they're losing whatever was paid to the credit card companies with each sale.

    That is a terminable offense IMO.  I hear you!
    It was the Global Controller of the entire company.  There is no winning that battle.

    Launching it across the across the office like Roberto Clemente throwing out a runner at home got my point across quite nicely....

    Too soon big guy.  Too soon.
    Well said!  But I hear you...  “Global” anything’s probably shouldn’t be messed with!

    No, they'd have to do it if the original ticketholder requests a refund based on the new dates. If those people instead sell on F2F there's only the negligible cost of a F2F transaction.
