Beach Break 2009

Posts: 8 Forumite
I purchased a a ticket for the Beach Break Live 2009 student festival in Cornwall for the 16th -19th June. The ticket cost £84 with an additional £40 if you opted to travel to the festival by coach.
The festival advertises itself as being on a beach, and in Cornwall.
However, due to a disagreement with the area's councillors, the original location has had to be changed. Fair enough, it does say in the terms and conditions that the event organisers reserve the right to change the location.
But now the new location is in Kent, not quite the Cornish beach I was hoping for. I assumed a change in location would be down the road, not the other side of the country.
Am I entitled to a refund?
If I booked a holiday to Greece, but then told Greece was out of the question, and I'd have to go to Greenland instead, I would expect a full refund. Is this not the same thing?

I'd say you are quite entitled to a refund, as that is a significant change in location.
Tell them you've been to Kent 100s of times, so as the location change is so significant, you'd like a full refund.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
It says on the website that no refunds will be given as the event is still going ahead.0
