Virgin Atlantic - Status of on hold tickets {Edited Title}

Having had our flights cancelled, we put our tickets on hold so that we could rebook for next year as we were travelling for what is now a postponed wedding. Now I'm concerned about the possibility of VA going into administration and how safe those 'on hold' tickets really are. Even this close to rebooking (about a month away) I'm wondering if I should have gone for a refund.

As an aside, other than keeping prices static, keeping the tickets on hold isn't as great as it sounds - there's no preferential/advance access to flights or seats, so you get to book only at the same time as those who didn't put tickets on hold and on general sale, but with the distinct disadvantage of not being able to do so online.
