Reimbursement for the canceled concerts of the band Tokio Hotel

Thousands of fans from all over Russia have yet to get a refund for the canceled concerts of the band Tokio Hotel

That day thousands of Russian girls and boys waited for a month. Week promises, the "breakfast" and nerve flying "Exactly" was expected to end on Monday, April 5. Tokio Hotel fans, never saw any of the group, not money, that due to the cancellation of the concert promised to return, were in an extremely difficult situation. Day by day, broke into the Moscow office of the organizers, which showed no hope of the agreement of parents, thousands of blondes, applications written on the return on several occasions, trying to talk to the organizers.

But while this battle was replaced by the powerful organization headed by Tatiana TOPconcert Dalsky - Organizers of the concert failed. Although slowly, very cautiously and reluctantly, of course, there was a refund. But hopefully these people can be counted on the fingers of the hand. And last week on behalf of Mrs. Dalsky solemnly promised place April 5 at the main website of the company in a special way, and complete so that fans of the city could finally get their money back. But nobody was surprised not to find this form on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

And it all began innocently ...

Big Organization

Peter. March 4, 2010, at approximately 19.00. Owlish looking from side to side, struggling to keep the pride of Russia, and even forget why you had to be there. But the bright red sign, recalled: "On 8 March, at the Ice Palace, the concert of Tokio Hotel."

A wonderful gift for the holiday concert organizers decided to do it to all the Russian girls. The arrival of four German musicians with the tour "Welcome to Humanoid City tour for fans of Russia - a big event. The whole country was ready for this concert for a long time. And even the Ukrainian and Belarusian girls did not want to stay away.

Since the morning the Ice Palace was occupied by the fans, not fearing either the cold or wind, to fulfill his dream and see her favorite band. Sleep, which certainly is not cheap. The ticket prices ranged from 800 to 3,500 rubles. The most expensive and best - in the area of fans, where we were going to play.

Fanaction organizers, who agreed to meet at the concert, in good faith, given to all who came and bracelets reprinted texts bright. Can you imagine what it means to go to Russia and St. Petersburg to sing again in this scenario, the four favorites of millions of girls? What did print thousands of texts and buy thousands of bracelets?

Sudden Illness

But people in the room was a bit suspicious, even in the area became notorious fans, where tickets were bought up to six months before the show. The venue was filled only a third. "Warming" is reached, he spent much longer time was about nine o'clock, but no one appeared on stage. At 21:30 the haggard fans sang slow songs on the disc, stranded for the third consecutive time. 21:45. On stage, instead of Tokio Hotel - Tatiana Dalsky. "Dear audience, I must inform you that due to unexpected illness of the artist, the concert will not be held today" - he said.

After the second, a deafening silence in the room, hanging a stone, it seems as if he heard behind the walls of snow fall. And suddenly - like lightning - a terrible scream y. .. The end of the world. The end of the world for three thousand people standing in the greatest confusion and panic simultaneously. The tears in her eyes and a terrible disappointment in their hearts. In conformity with the hysteria, loss of coordination and fog in their heads. The outlet where tickets are returned, even promised to return the money to them, 10 March.

Moscow!

The real reason for the cancellation was more difficult to learn to get a free apartment in Moscow. It was clear that the disease of "artist" - was an outright lie. Deluded fans chose to believe that the Russian side has not complied with the substance of the contract: or, simply, the group with a charge, rate or even refused.

The next morning, March 9, Internet unveiled a new message in this sense: "despite the canceled concert in St. Petersburg, scheduled for March 10 concert in Moscow continued. The tickets that were purchased at the concert St. Petersburg will be valid in Moscow. "

And the next morning, and a few hundreds of "Saint Petersburg", went to the capital. Concert.ru at the box office, where we could change our tickets to St. Petersburg in the Ice Palace, for the tickets to Moscow's Olympic sports complex - was a long wait, everyone was nervous and worried. And not just any situation. So that fans could attend last. Petrograd had announced that tickets will only be exchanged with a blond 1,100 mark. The reason: Moscow had the most expensive tickets. This, of course, is true. Tickets for the fan zone had an Olympic cost from 4100 onwards in (scary thought) 7500. But after some time the people rose again and was completely free. However, forced to write a statement of refusal to pay the value of the difference.

Shipping Statement

By the time the Olympic tickets were besieged by fans. Persistent reports about the concert not performed. The atmosphere was very tense, and the cold streets.

Riot police arrived. About two hours before the concert, finally, we had just learned that here we were completely in vain. The night settled the eighth of March. However, more cries of the boys, playing on the hysteria. Someone sat directly on the wet pavement impotent and indifferent, someone burned the flag with the image of the group ...

"Tickets may be returned to Tverskaya Street, 20 ..." Could be heard after us. The next day at the sales offices in Concert.ru, money, as mentioned before, do not return it. Referring to paragraph 11 of the performance standards, which are placed in the back of the entrance, where all are invited to complain to the organizers. The only problem is that the office TOPconcert Tverskaya Street, which was posted yesterday, was closed. And there was only a small note on the door: "contact B. Dmitrovka, № №. And Dmitrovka - in the police department. They give the statements that are printed, only the data and insert your signature. Write an application, but in his mind was only the press, their money. While all applications were written far as they went ... Fortunately, we were wrong. The money was returned on the same day and all in the same office Concert.ru. Perhaps the central canal was transferred to that received about 200 applications? Perhaps, the organizers eventually arouse their conscience? It is true that they have received their fair only after submission of entry, which for sure proves that we are flying out of town and now holds us. Most Muscovites and those who "had no time, the money has been a dream so far. Moreover, the dream has (or did not have) a new concert of the band Tokio Hotel in Russia.
