I'd do a chargeback on my credit card if this happened to me.

And to make sure you say that you attempted to get a refund before the show started.

The thing is that you are buying tickets for the main act, and who ever is opening is always subject to change

Has this worked for you / anyone else in the past? I’ve never considered doing that but would in the future.

The common knowledge is it works, but only once, because the vendor will blacklist you from doing business in the future.

Unless enough people do it, then Ticketmaster will have to answer to Visa/Mastercard. So yea, everyone should be doing a chargeback for this. If even 10% of ticket holders to this event did a chargeback Visa would be up their ass so fucking fast.

i know that some platforms like video games will straight up ban your account and all your purchases. But it'll work lol.

Well they can't take past concerts away from me, and if this is how they do business I don't mind being blacklisted. I'll just take my money back, thank you.

I did this when I had tickets to see a music festival where there was supposed to be Devo, and then Devo pulled out. It was the only reason I wanted to go and they would not refund my tickets so I did a charge back. But as somebody else said, you can really only get away with that once or rarely. Don't make a practice out of it.
