Ticketmaster are trending on twitter because they're not offering refunds for any postponed shows. Shows now need to be outright cancelled for you to receive a refund. Tough if you can't make the new date!

Seems like people can still get a refund after all. Thought as much. A lot of these companies will be changing the wording on the policy now so that people just think they’re cornered into accepting the new terms when in actual fact a contract exists which include the original terms meaning ticketmaster can’t refuse a refund. They could however refuse a refund for people booking from now on though since you would be booking under new terms.

Live Nation own Ticketmaster, not a surprise that they changed the wording in the US. And will try to keep as much of people's cash as possible. But at least in the UK it's decent, I guess.
They also own StubHub which has exactly the same policy! AFAIK.
Nice Monopoly they have. Also interesting to see that the company who owns a third of Live Nation also own 2/3rds of SiriusXM.
