Do not take this laying down!

But remember that sometimes it’s better to take it lying down than to take it bending over.

**A similar thing happened to me while I was in high school. Our marching band was invited to perform at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The school paid for the reservation deposits (the students were to make up for it when they paid the rest of the travel fees), and then the Olympic committee (or whoever was in charge of such things) decided that the high school bands invited to perform, shouldn’t, and cancelled them. They initially refused to make refunds, but I guess facing multiple lawsuits from the affected high schools wasn’t quite their cup of tea.

I don’t have all the details of what happened (I don’t think it even ever made news), but that’s about what happened. All I can say is that we were all very dissappointed. **

It certainlymade news over here.

FWIW the major response to that little incident was “yep, those SOCOG guys really can be incompetent dickwits”.

I’m glad you got your money back, at any rate.

Anubis, If enough people complain loudly enough you may be able to get the money back. Particularly if they complain to the newspapers and other media.
