Ignoring all communications and haven't refunded cancelled event
Long story short... I purchased tickets in February for an event due to take place in May. Alas, the event got cancelled because of Covid. Brown Paper Tickets were notified by the organiser of the cancellation in April. They said refunds would be issued in two weeks. It's now about to tick into July and no-one has got their money back. Brown Paper Tickets have ignored all further attempts to contact them by the organiser and haven't even bothered to respond to any of my emails or messages. And they have shut down their UK customer services including the phone line. Yes, it is a hugely difficult time for the events industry but this is appalling customer services, especially from a supposedly ethical company. It's people like me who were trying to support local events that are out of pocket. Given that, the organiser is no longer going to use them for ticket sales. The only option I'm left with is to do a chargeback through my bank. Fingers crossed.
