Even the biggest sports teams will try to scam you. last year i was in NY in Sept. and bought two tix for a total of $300 to a NY Yankee game. Stub Hub. 1PM scheduled game, Game day it literally poured rain from 10am- NY Yankees kept delaying until they finally started around 4pm, got in 4 1/2 innings in heavy rain, then called it a game.
almost no one attended- i did not- I was staying two hours from the stadium. Yanks refused refunds and also refused rain checks good for another game. Worst example of customer service that I have ever seen. Yanks made $million+ on 30,000+ sold tickets that day. I chargeback thru my credit card company and neither stub hub nor the yanks responded to the inquiry- I got my $300 refund. never to pay for a Yankee stadium ticket again for the remainder of my life.
once a new pool tournament date is announced- Everyone should have the right to cancel their attendance and obtain a refund.
Well your point are valid, and some people remember being ripped off, and then just go find a new place to spend their money.
Recall years ago a Pool Bar in PHX advertised a Saturday 9 Ball Tournment with $250.00 add money.
I made the trip cross town to play, but there was a problem, because two other venues also had event the same a day.
As the time approached to play few were at the Bar I was at. Before paying to play I asked owner, if indeed the GUARANTEED $250.00 was being added, he replied not sure, will move start time 30 minutes.
In 30 minute not many more had shown, again I asked about the $250.00 add was told we can not do this, so I left.
When you advertise something, and back away from it it leave a bad taste in my mouth. I never went back to that Bar, it was my regular Tuesday Night 9 Ball Tournament.
The place went out of business, too many bad experences for many people who said forget this place.
