It's not, but if we are customers it's prob reasonable to behave like customers Would sale of goods act not come in to play We bwfc sell you entry to this event at said time and place As soon as they can't, I'd argue the contract was frustrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted December 27, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 27, 2021 It might even be reasonable to charge em an admin fee for chasing the refund and returning the ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If it’s off regardless of how long it takes to rearrange you should be able to get money back at the earliest It will be midweek some can’t do them so just refund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The immediate offer of a full refund is good practice but there's a legal difference between an event cancelled and one postponed & to be rearranged in good faith. In the latter the purchaser can't equivocally say they can't make the rearranged date until they know what it is. That's the contract law in this case. It remains, as said, good practice to offer a refund immediately but the business can look to limit the administration costs if this.

Dr. Feelgood Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Either way, for the vast bulk, waiting a couple of months for the amount outstanding is "not going to kill you". It's more a case of having a grumble for the sake of it. Now, we're British, Boltonians at that, & like a good grumble, but recognise it for what it is. Meanwhile, if anyone can show, irrefutably, that it IS going to kill them to wait a couple of months for their £30 or so I offer to pay it you myself. I'll need doctor's and bank statements as proof.

It’s not a grumble lets say Rotherham is off the £30 becomes £60 and more if you bought Wycombe or Morecambe tickets so if you know you can’t attend midweek why should someone hold your money longer than needed like you said good practice is needed until covid fucks off folk won’t be buying in advance so let’s have some balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "not going to kill you" approach/attitude is poor, it could have been written by Mr Hart himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer games to play with injury ridden squad. Hopefully he gets his new faces in quickly, and they hit the ground running. The comment in statement saying efl will investigate I presume is a standard procedure. They would want, rightly, evidence of number of cases I'd presume.

Ani Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If people are defending the club and quoting contract law and small print it shows you the club has got it wrong. It is not about what they 'can' do but what they 'should' do, thought that was the message Sharon put over in her recent messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets will then be valid for the new date but anyone unable to attend can obtain a refund at that point. This must be an EFL-wide thing now. It's still wrong, though. I could go this week (Jnr isn't in school), but won't be able to go next time, so refunds really should be immediate. As Traf was referring to earlier it looks more like an EFL thing not just a BWFC ruling. I’ve stated before, personally I don’t have a problem with it. I’ll see if the rearranged date works for me and if it doesn’t I’ll get my money back. But I can see the issue others have especially if you know you aren’t doing a mid-week.

Leyther_Matt Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Seems to be an EFL-wide terminology, but it will very much up to each club whether or not to implement it. Personally I’d be fighting it internally if it happened at my place. Not worth the hassle for the staff when, in reality, it isn’t BWFC’s money anyway when it comes to the away games. Such attitudes will soon come to roost when, after years of trying to train folk to pre-buy, no fucker will buy in advance and the clubs drop their arses because they can’t plan anything.

captainmed Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If Rotherham happens to be called off, it will then be FIVE weeks without us having a league game. Thats unless we can re-arrange a league game for FA3 weekend? Even if the Rotherham is on, it’s still three weeks without. JSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
