I had tickets for the Salman Rushdie event at Alexandra Palace which has been cancelled. Tickets were only available through See Tickets. They have immediately given me a "face value" refund - pocketing the booking fee AND the transaction fee they have charged for the privilege of selling me tickets to an event which won't take place.
I fully understand that in a crisis we must all stick together but I look at this and see Rushdie may be out of pocket, the Alexandra Palace, maybe temp staff working for them and I am out of pocket too. But See Tickets have taken their full payment, how exactly are they sharing in everyone's pain and grief? What makes them the only ones in this equation entitled to make money when others are losing it?
