Short answer
Event cancellation enquiries should identify the organiser, ticket seller or platform, booking terms, cancellation notice, refund request, payment route, chargeback or Section 75 position and any complaint escalation already made. Legal4U cannot decide whether a refund or other remedy is owed.
