Morgan Wallen fan sends big invoice after canceled concert
One angry fan expects a $4,000 refund from Morgan Wallen.
Country music singer Morgan Wallen had to cancel his Mississippi concert at the Vaught Hemingway Stadium on Sunday last minute, and fans are not happy. Though Wallen’s team will issue refunds for tickets, some fans are demanding more.
One fan, Mandi Walker Nowlin, hoped to share the concert experience with her husband, and when Wallen did not turn up, she took to Facebook to express her thoughts after it was stated that refunds would be offered.
“Since you’re offering refunds … here is our itemized bill for you,” her Facebook caption read.
Nowlin then provided a list of expenses associated with her trip to Mississippi, wanting to get them reimbursed. The expenses ranged from her hotel bill ($560) to a meal for her and her husband at Oxford Grillehouse ($235).
The grand total of Nowlin’s invoice came to a whopping $3,982 and also included her Cash App to receive payment. Wallen’s team has not yet responded.
Fans are unhappy with last-minute cancellation at Morgan Wallen concert
Nowlin wasn’t the only disgruntled fan after the concert was canceled. Many attendees were disappointed with the way Wallen and his team handled the situation, feeling that their time was being wasted.
Wallen’s team announced that the country music singer had a sore throat mere minutes before he was supposed to perform. Some fans complained that they waited for hours, just to be told to go back home.
Others thought Wallen’s behavior was childish and wanted the singer to take responsibility for his actions.
Fan sues Morgan Wallen over canceled concert
Upset by unprofessionalism and inconvenience that Wallen’s actions caused, one fan decided to sue. Concertgoer Brandi Burcham opened a class action lawsuit.
“Even if ticket prices are refunded, no offer has been made to reimburse concertgoers for other out-of-pocket expenses they incurred in connection with the concert cancellation, including transportation, lodging, food, merchandise sales, transaction fees and other such expenses,” Burcham argues.
Burcham has since dismissed her case, but her lawyers still plan to continue with the class-action suit. Law firm Langston & Lott, PLLC in Mississippi say they intend on re-filing and getting compensation for all affected concertgoers.
