Question about LEC tickets randomly getting refunded (Happy ending)

UPDATE: LEC is still awesome, it was a bug causing this and I received new tickets. 🥳

ORIGINAL TEXT:

I have to admit, I am really annoyed by this.

The day the LEC tickets became available I instantly bought 2 for each day of week 3 to visit the LEC with a friend for the first time since 2019.

While being insanely hyped up, I planned out the trip, ordering tickets for travelling by train and booking a hotel. Also I had to take two days off to be able to watch the monday as well. All in all still a great deal for me because I am dieing to see LEC live again.

Yesterday - out of the blue - I received a mail from eventbride stating that I will receive the refunds for the two saturday tickets soon. They just canceled them. (Insert Caedrel meme here)

Of course it is well within Riot Games' rights to do so, but I think it is outrageous to do so without any kind of explanation, message or at least a little sorry.

Even though I will be there for 2 days at least now, my hype tanked a lot.

Since travelling to Berlin comes along with costs and further efforts, I might shy away from ordering tickets for LEC in the future since there now is a real threat they might get canceled any minute.

Why am I writing this post in the Fnatic community boards? I just wanted to ask you guys if you had similar experiences with LEC before and how it played out.

Have been there countless times from 2015-2019 and despite our playoffs match against H2K getting canceled due to audio issues (which we were compensated for) I never had any issues. Thats why I am still a little shocked.

Best regards

Marcel

Loading...UPDATE: I am relieved and mega happy. Received a mail with an apology and the information that the tickets were not refunded on purpose. Quote: "A Kha'zix ganked our ticket system and accidentally refunded some tickets." 🤣 They reserved the tickets so I could re-buy them. Faith in the LEC and hype fully restored! 🫡 Hope to meet some fellow Fnatic fans in Berlin.

Loading...Have you tried contacting any of the Berlin riot team? Try Twitter maybe? RiotTriaged for example. Maybe any of them can either help or get you in if spare seats are available. Best of luck!

Loading...@Kilter Thank you for the suggestion. In the refund message there was a link named "Contact the organizer" which opened up an e-mail window with events@freaks4u.de as the recipient. I messaged them. No response so far in over 24h. If I do not hear anything new tomorrow, I might try the Twitter route.
