Ticketmaster Allows Refunds for Ed Sheeran Concerts at Gillette After Mass. AG’s Office Intervenes
- On Thursday, Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell announced that Ticketmaster will allow refunds for Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium concerts following significant changes to the Loop Tour lineup.
- New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft removed Macklemore from the tour over pro-Palestinian comments made at a MetLife show on September 4, prompting other opening acts including Finneas and Lukas Graham to withdraw in solidarity.
- Campbell's office received more than 170 consumer complaints regarding the changes, and fans must submit refund requests at least 24 hours before the 8 p.m. showtime.
- In a letter to the company, Campbell argued that replacing nearly all acts constituted an unfair service change under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act; Ticketmaster agreed to make an exception to its standard policy.
- Sheeran, who addressed concerns about venue speech restrictions during a Philadelphia show last week, continues his tour; industry experts note demand will soften but stadiums will not be empty.

But, if ever there was evidence to the contrary of this platitude, it would be the media firesto…
