Accepting a refund won’t waive your right to sue without an explicit new agreement, experts say, and even that might not be enforceable in court.
In the immediate wake of the deadly Nov. 5 crowd surge – which left 10 dead and hundreds injured – Scott and Astroworld promotors Live Nation and ScoreMore issued a statement that “full refunds are being offered for all those who purchased tickets.” But as lawsuits began to mount in the days after, rumors started to circulate on social media that such refunds were legally perilous.One tweet read: “DO NOT ACCEPT THE REFUND FOR YOUR TICKET – YOU LIKELY WONT BE ABLE TO SUE. PLEASE REPOST.
Close to 200 negligence lawsuits have been filed in the two weeks since Astroworld, representing hundreds of people were either injured or lost family members. The cases will likely take years to resolve, and could eventually see hundreds of millions in damages or settlements.that the refund rumors are unfounded.
An entirely new agreement could be imposed on ticket holders as a condition of receiving a refund, and that kind of after-the-fact deal would be more enforceable in court. Attorneys filing Astroworld cases, like, have urged victims not to agree to anything “active” in the process of taking a refund.
