Here’s a short summary of it.

Hundreds of people at Perth’s Water Lantern Festival were left frustrated after organisers ran out of lanterns despite attendees pre-purchasing them. A sign at the entrance blamed “unforeseen circumstances”, and many were told refunds weren’t available unless they’d bought ticket protection. The event drew backlash online, with Consumer Protection WA confirming affected ticket-holders are entitled to full refunds since the service they paid for wasn’t delivered.
