"Wildfires Disrupt SoCal Concert Biz"
sucks
"At deadline, Los Angeles-based concert promoters AEG Live (and subsidiary Goldenvoice) and Nederlander Concerts hadn't reported any concert cancellations in Southern California. But the wind-driven blazes, which have already forced a reported half-million people to evacuate their homes, have caused Live Nation to cancel or postpone most concerts scheduled for this week, according to company officials.........a Jesus and Mary Chain gig at San Diego's 4th & B today has been cancelled. Ticket refunds for the latter are available at point of purchase." [Billboard]
Concert cancellations seem trivial in the scheme of things, but I guess each industry has to look at things from their own point of view, and the one we're interested around here (you and I) is music.

What should I do if my point of purchase burned down?

6:07 Anon: Ticketmaster has an address for you to snail mail tickets in case you can't go back to the retail outlet. It's mentioned somewhere in the site's Help section.

irony that there were wildfires while jesus and mary chain were gonna play. they would've most likely burned down the venue either way.

Doubtful since Webster Hall looks like it is still doing ok.

luckily the Interpol concert at the Forum wasnt cancled, they were freaking AWSOME! but then again the Forum is in Inglewood and no where near San Diego.
