It was with some annoyance that I discovered that Cirque Du Soleil's head office is in Luxembourg.

 

After having our show (Amaluna at Royal Albert Hall) ruined by double-booking of my seats at Valentine's Day (of all days - myself and my date were appalled) I have decided to go after them for a full refund of the £150 I paid under the Goods and Services Act 1982. We basically missed the first 15-20 minutes due to their bungling of our tickets and jilting us into inferior side seats.

 

I emailed them at their 'customer services' email (info@ ....) and have not had a reply. Like as if that's an actual customer service email address. there is no other contact for customer services. Another sneaky way to get out of dealing with annoyed customers.

 

Mainly it's the principle. They think they can go and create some dummy office in Luxembourg and try and sneak people out of their consumer rights here in the UK, well they can think again.

 

I have never claimed refunds from businesses based outside the UK but I imagine the process is similar, send letter asking for refund...wait 3 weeks, send final warning (however on this occasion I have already emailed them so they don't get another warning)....apply for European Payment Order....send bailiffs into the London venue if they do not pay with possible shut down of show due to health and safety because the bailiff took the show props and show equipment to recover costs.

 

Anyway, I have written them a letter as of today which will be posted to their Luxembourg address:

16 Avenue Pasteur

L-2310 Luxembourg

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

 

I will give them 3 weeks from today before making my application for a European Payment Order and then possibly get to send the bailiffs in to Royal Albert Hall.

 

Does this sound reasonable?! :mad2:

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Was Cirque Du Soleil the actual ticket seller ?

 

Yes. I will call the bank and see if they can arrange a chargeback on my tickets.

GREAT NEWS - the bank have refunded me the show tickets in full.

 

They took around 5 working days after I sent them an email last Monday.

 

What a relief and thanks to everyone for the advice - it worked!
