The lightning did not seem severe and passed within minutes. I sincerely hope LiveNation will be doing the right thing and refunding tickets which were certainly not cheap. If not, this is one concert goes who will not go back to the venue.

I hope you will get your money back but I kind of doubt that is going to happen.

The venue will use the excuse that they had to have all their help come in and set up as if it were a normal event; that alone costs a lot of $$$$$$$.

Keep us posted.

Live Nation is a large company I hope they do the right thing. Question do these outside venues have insurance for these types of situations?

Wifey tells me that the Farcebook page for Bank on NH Pavillion has an update on this.

It was an interesting night.

First, the guy on stage tells all the folks in the grass seating to leave.

The reason was a severe thunderstorm heading our way.

So, if it's too dangerous for them to be outside on the grass, how does sending them on the long trek to the parking lot improve their safety?

After the first song by H and O they told the rest of us to leave.

Instead of staying under a giant protective structure we were sent on the long trek to the parking lot.

Then we got drenched walking in the rain.

It was a mess all around.

With the benefit of hindsight, we could have waited it out and had a good show.

Heck, even my radar weather app showed that the storm was only going last a short while. They should of delayed starting the show.

Unfortunately, and I may be wrong but I believe as long as they play one song the band gets full pay from the venue...not very fair to their fans however!

The venue is trying to schedule a makeup show.

"Once we decide if and when the new date is, if you're unable to make that date, then refunds will be available," Harding said.

Refunds will be handled through Ticketmaster. Any attendees who didn't buy directly through Ticketmaster will have to contact the seller to received the refund.

That's great to hear. Perhaps I was too quick to expect the worst. Fingers crossed.

I'm happy to say LiveNation is rescheduling the concert and also offering a refund alternative. Glad to know that they are doing the right thing. While I was expecting the worst, they did come through.
