“They’d only gotten through two or three numbers when, boom, the show stopped,” said audience member Mary Ellen Hennessey. “There was an announcement of technical difficulties. We waited for a while, then the show started and stopped again.”

A notice shared by Ticketmaster read, “We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase … It should appear on your account within 14-21 days.”
