This is the problem with trolls. They have nothing interesting to respond with or anything clever to say so they respond with the typical grammar nazi remarks....

They also hate it when you are called out as a troll...you sir are now blocked!

Did you see the whole show from start to finish?

No it was a 2 hour show but the act walked off after 90 minutes. The promoter agreed that the show was poor and ended too early.
(I have that in writing).

Well all you can do is try and get some kind of compensation but I would'nt hold your breath about it.

This is the whole point of the thread, the promoter won't offer any refund (even though he agrees with me) and the box office says it's not there problem and are now hiding behind T+C's.

Have you got a copy of the T&C's the box office in question 'abide by' - they may actually be 'unfair' terms and conditions but without seeing them it's hard to comment. Nevertheless they cannot put on 'rubbish' shows and expect customers to put up with them and try hiding behind T&Cs. I fail to see, however, that fair T&Cs would, by the nature of them being fair, indemnify a company or organisation against action being taken against them. I have found out that the terms and conditions (the indemnity thing) they are talking about are between the venue and the promoter, not the terms I have agreed to. Surely that means if they need to refund any customer then the promoter is liable to reimburse the box office, no questions asked?

I assume you still have the evidence of the timings of the event and how they differed to those advertised? Yes I have pictures of the website advertisment and the signage inside the venue on the night, plus the promoter has also admitted it aswell

Thing is, if it came to court then it would be up to the court to decide. Your case would be stronger if others complain and/or with evidence that what you saw was not what was advertised.I will look into getting others to start legal action as well, or maybe combine it all into one claim (not sure if thats possible)

Another problem I have is the promoter isn't based in the UK, isnt registered for Tax, VAT or with companies house in the UK, is small claims court out of the question then?

Did your contract (booking) state how long a show you were paying for?

The booking confirmation says the show will last 2 hours and there will be no interval etc etc and I think I remember seeing something on the back of the ticket itself.
