AC/DC have explained their decision to offer refunds to fans who’d bought tickets to their forthcoming world tour, saying they “care about their fans and wanted to do right by them.”
Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is currently preparing to step into Brian Johnson’s shoes after Johnson was urged to 'stop touring immediately' or risk losing his hearing, midway through the band’s current Rock Or Bust tour.
While many people were excited about the impromptu supergroup, some weren’t happy. Subsequently, fans who bought tickets for the band’s shows, including their London Olympic Stadium show on 4 June, have been given the opportunity to claim their money back - but they only have until 5pm on Friday, 6 May to do so.
In a statement to Team Rock, a spokesperson for AC/DC said, "The band made a decision to offer this. As they care about their fans and wanted to do right by them, they instructed local promoters to offer refunds.”
A spokeswoman for the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) also confirmed the band are under no legal obligation to offer refunds, saying, "Our CTSI lead officer for fair trading can confirm that there is no legal obligation for the ticket sellers to refund in this case. It is a goodwill gesture.”
