Buffett Concert Fiasco: Some Angry Fans To Get 'Concert Cash'

PITTSBURGH, PA - Fans stalled in security lines at Saturday’s Jimmy Buffett concert at KeyBank Pavilion won’t get cash refunds for missing some or most of the show. But many of the disgruntled concertgoers, many of whom lashed out at the Burgettstown venue on social media over the past two days, will be getting “concert cash” for their trouble.

“While the majority of fans enjoyed a great 2-hour Jimmy Buffett performance at KeyBank Pavilion, Live Nation is working closely with Ticketmaster Fan Support to assist those who experienced delays entering the venue,” Live Nation said in a statement Tuesday. “Live Nation is offering Ticketmaster ticket buyers who did not pass through the gates by 8:25 p.m. concert cash that can be used to enjoy another show at KeyBank Pavilion or any other Live Nation venue in the United States.”

Buyers will be compensated based on the price of their original ticket, $50 for lawn and $150 for reserved purchases per ticket.

The statement did not explain why the security line waits were so lengthy. But those who regularly trek to the Washington County pavilion undoubtedly will be watching closely Tuesday night at the venue when Weezer and the Pixies play there.
