Re:Set Concert Series - June 2023

The weather situation in Boston raises an interesting question for those who sold/bought tickets via resale. Usually, resale transactions are voided if a show is cancelled and the secondary market buyer receives their money back, and the refund for the original purchase goes to the original buyer. This prevents secondary market sellers who mark up the price from keeping the mark-up profits.

But how do you handle a situation like this where the entire event hasn't been cancelled, although a big chunk of it has? At festivals, lineups may be subject to change, but the event still takes place. If an entire day gets cancelled, how do you handle all of the categories of ticket buyer - bought tickets and used them, bought tickets and sold on the secondary market, and bought tickets on the secondary market? I'm sure that one day tickets for the cancelled day would be handled like any individual show cancellation, but it'll be interesting to see what happens if an entire day is cancelled.

Some years ago, there was a problem in the Boston area with drinking water flow from western suburbs to Boston being interrupted. The local news media labelled it "Aquapocalypse," which in those pre-Boston Calling days struck me as being the perfect name for Boston's first big local music festival...which would be held, of course, at Suffolk Downs, site of the late 90's Guinness Fleadh that I attended.

It appears that the long awaited Aquapocalypse has finally come to Suffolk Downs, but not at all in the way that I imagined it.

Also the best part for me was being with my friend who was introduced to them by, of all songs, "Oh Baby" being played in Booksmart. She saw they were only playing it at roughly half the shows so figured she wasn't getting it, and lost her mind at the first few notes more than anyone else in the crowd. She loved the rest of the set too, having gotten into their back catalog since discovering them and wants to see them again. Told her welcome to the club!

And yikes, I know several of these are being impacted by weather but it seems LCD's days are having especially bad luck! I saw their post about Dallas and giving ticket holders first chance to attend a makeup show, so if there are multiple of these, maybe they do a fall run.

I had a ticket and sold it on Stubhub the other day. I'm guessing I'm getting my money back from Axs and the Stubhub transaction is voided. How does this work?

So much for rain or shine

i'm in the same boat.. it's still showing up in my axs past orders, so hopefully it won't be a complete pain in the ass.

i just got an email from spotify/axs.. "All tickets will be refunded to the method of payment used at the time of purchase. The refund should appear on your payment account within the next 3-5 business days."

EDIT: got an email saying my refund is being processed already!

I was hoping they'd come back in the fall or something

When I bought tickets for the Avalanches from StubHub, which was cancelled, I got StubHub credit for what I paid. I assume StubHub will just charge me back what I was paid for my ticket resale and I'll get a refund from AXS for what I originally paid either as a bank deposit or AXS credit

Anybody make it into the venue? We were still in line at midnight and bailed

100%. The venue is all grass because it's inside the racetrack. 

Except californja. Go figure.

What was it like today?  Muddy, or did they somehow manage to avoid that problem?

Boygenius and Clairo were tremendous. Really wonderful performances.

The venue was very saturated with water in some areas, but not where people were congregated, generally.

The two nights we got were both excellent

Fuuuckkk. We could've absolutely made DC happen and went for Columbus instead. I just really hope I'm not regretting that decision come this weekend. Hoping it improves over the next few days!
