Concert Ticket Refund Advice

Fishol

I purchased tickets 2 months ago to a concert called the Queen Extravaganza, an official Queen tribute organised by Brian May and Roger Taylor.

The reason I purchased the tickets was the lead singer Marc Martel who is about the closest thing to the late Freddie Mercury you will ever see or hear.

Now 2 months later the organiser suddenly announces a new lead singer as they cannot work a schedule with Marc that suits the tour. The new guy Alirio Netto doesnt sound remotely like Freddie and sings with a strong Brazilian accent, no offence please but isnt the point of a tribute to be at least a soundalike?

Hundreds are complaining on the FB page. My question is what recourse have we for a refund. The ticket company SEE tickets say the concert is still on so no refund but I think this constitutes a significant change to the concert.

Doubt you can do anything. You bought tickets to see a band and although the lead singer has changed it is still the same band.

It is annoying though
