Fans of The Cure expecting to see the group at The O2 in London next week are out of pocket after a ticketing agency went bust.
The company Trinity Street sold 500 tickets to the show but ceased trading after taking the money and before sending out the tickets.The scenario has taken singer Robert Smith by surprise who cannot act directly for the fans as AEG Live promotes the tour.
All the fans are getting from the promoter so far is that they can buy similar tickets to those already purchased. AEG Live has recommended that the fans advise their credit card company has that the transaction is not but through. However, that is not a guaranteed outcome for the punter.
At The Cure website, Smith says he wants, “all parties to be sympathetic, proactive and timely in effecting a better solution to this problem than 'buy what seats are remaining and hope you get a refund on your original purchase'".
Only tickets sold by Trinity Street are affected. The show is on February 26.
