How can I request a refund for my ticket?
Given the cancellation of the shows, how can fans of the two artists proceed so as not to be damaged by the decision? Lawyer Rafael Quaresma, specialist in consumer law, details for readers of Earth what are the tools to appeal and not find yourself at a loss.
- How can the customer recover the amount spent?
“You need to contact the supplier himself, which could be the organizer or the website that has intermediary in the sale. The first thing is to express this interest in recovering the amount paid, since the tour was cancelled, and all this without any interference , participation, contribution of consumers”, explains Quaresma.
- The cancellation was made at the last minute. Isn’t the deadline too short?
“In principle there is no established deadline. What we have as a statutory deadline does not apply to this situation, which would be a regret, even a cancellation, but as long as it comes from the consumer. There is no regret for the supplier , so there is no deadline,” says the lawyer.
Quaresma further adds: “The risk of the activity is borne by the supplier, therefore the risk deriving from such cancellation must also be absorbed by the supplier.”
- Can artists be punished? The producer stated that the cancellation was unilateral.
For Rafael Quaresma the contractual issue between the producer and the artists is internal and must be resolved between the parties. In other words, it does not concern the consumer and does not affect him.
“Everyone has a responsibility towards the consumer. Therefore, from the artist himself, who would be the performer of the service – of the show -, as well as from the producer, organizer – whoever markets this event. Therefore, towards the consumer, a refund must be made “, explains. “Now, obviously, if I am the producer, and I did not cause this cancellation, surely in my contract with the artist there is a clause that establishes a compensation, a reimbursement of these sums, of the expenses I have incurred Sometimes there is a fine established.”
- When is it advisable to look for Procon?
The expert specifies that, if the consumer is unable to recover the value of the ticket and is ignored by those responsible, it is necessary to formalize a complaint with the consumer protection bodies.
“In addition to Procon, there is an official platform, which is consumer.gov.br, which can help the consumer resolve this situation. And, if none of this works, in a possible judicial process, moral damages will most likely also be charged,” he adds.
- Who purchased transportation and accommodation, how is it going?
Fans of the artists who needed to purchase bus or plane tickets and accommodation to attend the shows should also ask for a refund. Quaresma says that in these cases it is best to look for the responsible companies.
“There is a saying that we say is ‘the accessory follows the principal’. In this case, if I no longer have the show and therefore have a refund of the amount paid, all other proven expenses that have been incurred will have to be refunded ” he says, referring to booking hotels and tickets.
“It is important that this is also extended to these other expenses, obviously provided that evidence of already contracted expenses is provided. This does not apply, if any, to expenses incurred after the announcement of the tour cancellation,” he warns.
