Cupid’s Inspiration
When you buy a ticket to see a Band, you are entering into a contract with the provider of the Band or the Band its self. It is “sight unseen”. You are totally reliant on the description. Like any contract that description must not mislead you.
If you are expecting to hear and see the Band that made the original recordings and if the Band has changed from the original line up, this must be made clear to you at the time you purchase the ticket.
You can’t just advertise “The Beatles” You could advertise “The remaining Beatles” or some play on words like that. By paying for the ticket, you perform your side of the contract, the Band, has to be as described, to for fill their side of the contract.
A Band taking money off people, unless it is made plainly clear that they are not
the original band, is an offence in the UK enforced by Trading Standards and an actionable
breach of contract under the 1967 miss-
Personally I see it as only a matter of time before a Holiday camp, holding a 60/70/80’s weekend will have to payout a very expensive refund, including accommodation and transport, to an entire stag party that have gone to the Camp to see a particular Band, only to find out the Band has been miss described and isn’t made up of complete original members.
