ContraFart

Atlanta and Hattiesburg are about equal distance from me. I chose Hattiesburg because I am a USM alum. However both are now outdoor venues and after this experience, it’s not worth the risk to go to either

I don’t think the tour is ever coming back to FL. It’s too far out of the way and the school systems have become inhospitable. I can only go to San Antonio or Indy, neither is within a days drive. So the expense will be beyond my means for a while.

Due to this policy, I am never purchasing a ticket to an outdoor venue again. It’s not worth the risk since one closest show is 700 miles from my home. If they return the tour to FL, I might reconsider, but those shows get rained out too often as well.

But isn’t that what insurance is for? If I choose to pay an additional cost on my ticket to insure myself against loss, why shouldn’t I get my money back?

DCI itself has a strict no refund policy and cancellation due to weather is an exception in the ticket insurance.

This experience literally makes me never want to buy a ticket for an outdoor show ever again. The fact that we do not get refunds, even with ticket insurance is just the cherry on top.

I’m sorry if I took anything out on you. There is just a huge frustration for me as this is the 3rd or 4th show in a row that I attended that was rained out. (I’m pretty sure Orlando got rained out 2017-2019 which is any DCI stopped going there.) this is also the first time my 7 year old son really took an interest in corps.

I know maybe @theonlyfizzle should go home with a crying 7 year old because he could not see the show he really wanted to see

I understand the safety of the kids, but your dismissiveness pisses me off. DCI doesn’t come within 600 miles of where I live and I spent a lot of money and vacation time to come here. I am beyond upset

Says who?

I did buy my son a BAC shirt. He is obsessed with that show

Under the bleachers in the concourse opposite eagle walk. edit. I’m actually looking at BDs souvie both right now

But what about the people who drove 12 hours to see this?

It’s not even raining right now

Rain is slow but steady. However report I just read says it’s lasting till 11PM
