HELP FOR THOSE WHO ARE UP

Telecharge might allow an exchange but I'm not 100% sure; I've always found them more militant than Ticketmaster. The only thing I could suggest would be calling the box office (I think you have to go through the Telecharge number?) for the two shows you're missing first thing in the morning, explaining the situation, and asking if they can change the date on the tickets.

Fingers crossed they can work something out for you!

Thanks for the responses. And here i was worried about seeing Jim. I'm just not sure if i want to continue with the trip. The weather forecast is still lousy. They put me on a flight that arrives at 2:00 tomorrow. If all goes well, then I would make my 7pm curtain of Angels Part 1. If not, that will be 5 shows i would miss. (I wouldn't want to see Angels Part 2 without seeing part 1) Its not worth the airfare just to see my three remaining shows.

Because I didn't trust when I would actually arrive Thursday, and losing another show, I cancelled everything. Taking a huge loss. Not happy."

Do some research on JetBlue's Conditions of Carriage and the laws around involuntary bumping. They might owe you a lot more $ than just refunding your ticket cost. But they never tell you that. You have to know to ask.

When I saw your subject line I thought this was a Grindr ad!! ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE CAPS!!!

ArtMan said: "Uncle Charlie, Thanks for your response. Prior, they "graciously" refunded by airfare. (They said they didn't have to because of.....weather). They also gave me via email, a "goodwill gesture" of $50 Jetblue bucks. After reading your post, I called again and was firm. They issued me an additional $225 Jetblue bucks. So thanks for your input. Telecharge gave me a refund for my two shows today. I'm in the process, hopefully of a Ticketmaster refund for Angels Part 1 and 2. Then I still have My Fair Lady and Iceman to deal with. I was looking at rescheduling a trip for mid June. The unfortunate thing is all the popular shows that I had tickets for are either sold out or went up tremendously in price. If Telecharge reshedules My Fair Lady and Iceman instead of a straight out refund, then I will reshedule."

Glad you were able to get a few more bucks out of it ArtMan. If in fact as i interpreted from your post, your actual flight went off on time, I'm pretty sure they can't use the weather excuse cause your flight was not affected. They made a business decision to bump you because of weather from the day before. Not your problem. I think if you reminded them you had a confirmed ticket for that flight, the flight went off on time and without delay and the only reason you were not on it is because of a subjective business decision they made to accommodate other passengers who did not have confirmed tickets on that flight ahead of you and started quoting them U.S. Department of Transportation rules about involuntary bumping and the compensation those rules specify, you could still get more, but that's up to you.

One thing I've learned over many years of air travel is in situations like this, to always remain polite and calm as you discuss this but to be incredibly persistent. In many situations, they are authorized to offer you a lot more than they will ever let on.

Oh, gurl. Did it ruin your day? Based on your self portrait, you have more important things you should be worrying about.
