Fans will have 30 days to request a refund, otherwise their ticket will be good for the rescheduled show.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The refund plan reportedly comes after several weeks of negotiations involving &#8220;five major talent agencies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Billboard adds that the refund effort should cover most concerts and festivals through July. Refunds for events that haven&#8217;t yet been canceled will be addressed at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can read their entire report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/touring\/9360740\/ticketmaster-preparing-refund-plan-for-thousands-of-postponed-shows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a report at Billboard, ticket sales and distribution giant Ticketmaster is finalizing a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80281"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80284,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80281\/revisions\/80284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
