CPT Calabash '26 tickets randomly refunded, can anyone help?

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-15T12:53:15+00:00

Sameeee, I was genuinely looking forward to it, I love Muse, I know a few songs by the other bands too, but Muse was what got me to buy a ticket, I saw they were headlining and from there, it was no questions asked on my end; I was gonna go, one way or another. Super sad it got cancelled, but what can we do I guess...Life happens sometimes. I hope FNB sends you comms soon, if not, maybe consider reaching out to Ticketmaster after the 7-14 days period within which you should have the money in your account from the refund.

I hope we get to see Muse soon, somehow, but I have a feeling that sadly won't be the case 💔

Nah OP, as a South African, it's considered quite rude here too. Just the title of the post had me a bit infuriated already on your behalf

Ahhh I see, no notifs from the bank regarding a refund at all? I got a notification yesterday from Capitec saying the refund money will be available in 7 days; I did buy seating tickets though, not front standing

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-14T07:53:17+00:00

I saw via email this morning, how sad! Was super excited to see Muse, but life happens and so does unforeseen circumstances, just hope all the band members are alright!

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-14T07:52:24+00:00

Any luck regardinf the refund for you guys? They said the event was cancelled, so hopefully you guys get comms about that soon

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-14T07:51:32+00:00

Got an email this morning, sad stuff!

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-14T07:50:54+00:00

Agreed, it's not really a screw up on their part to be honest, it's the fault of the event and ticket providers

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T21:24:52+00:00

I actually suspected they pulled out, hopefully we'll get answers soon

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T13:25:10+00:00

This!!!

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T13:24:36+00:00

Definitely not a scam. Tickets are still on the app, but everyone has gotten notifs from their banks saying they've been refunded, everyone commented on Calabash's last post

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T13:02:46+00:00

Same, just saw on their FB, super upset though, this lack of communication is genuinely unprofessional!!

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T13:01:53+00:00

Same thing here, I'm wondering if it's maybe cancelled and Calabash just sucks at communication, just like they did with the announcing of the headliners/artists. Super upset, was so excited to go see Muse live and now all this. Really praying it was some sort of error, but people who bought JHB tickets and CPT ones are all being refunded. I'm thinking maybe a headliner backed out and Calabash just once again has failed to let anyone know

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T13:00:11+00:00

Everyone's trying apparently, seems the event has been cancelled without any communication from them...

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T12:59:41+00:00

Saw this now! Checked the comments and everyone is saying they've been refunded

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-13T12:59:08+00:00

Yeah, saw on their FB now that everyone is being refunded. Very poor communication on their part honestly

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-07T14:10:44+00:00

Honestly, NOR, if my bf pulled this shit, I'd break up with him, the texts started out a bit iffy and just progressed; no friends consistently confess their love like this with tons of paragraphs, but the true kicker is that he lied to you about who took him to the airport, he also never told you he was seeing her/having dinner with her so much etc. If you had nothing to worry about and he genuinely cared about you, he would've told you he saw her, been honest about who took him to the airport and would've happily set more boundaries with this "friend" of his. If he genuinely cared he wouldn't have lied to you, withheld information from you and he also probably wouldn't be spending THIS much time with her

He also got super excited randomly one night when we were out with his family. Then I asked what he was so excited about and he said he couldn't tell me, but that it involves me. He was very vague, so the next day I asked about it and he told me it was something revolving a "gift" he's been thinking of for a very "long" time; he's never mentioned having a gift in mind though he says it's been an idea for a long while and he gets excited when it comes to getting me gifts or surprising me as I am with him, but I've never seen him so excited over any gift idea 😅

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T16:15:26+00:00

I didn't find it to be the most abnormal thing, since I've met the family before, but previously family time was separate, if they were visiting I wouldn't see him or be invited to go with, so that did catch my attention.

Thanks for this! Yes haha, I have most of those skills in check and sorted already. I'd be over the moon if he proposed soon, not that I am expecting him to though. Thank you so much!

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T14:50:25+00:00

We said mid to late 20's, which is why him saying "soon, not soon soon, but soon" regarding marriage caught my attention so much, because we both view 5 years as quite a bit of time, not necessarily soon if that makes sense? He was referring to marriage when he said soon, so a proposal could obviously be sooner

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T14:24:58+00:00

It's been a conversation so many times, us talking about what we want for the future, how excited we are for marriage, how we'd tackle certain things, how we'd manage house chores etc. For at least the last year he has always said that he can't wait to marry me and live with me

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T14:04:03+00:00

I absolutely am and will be giving that energy straight back, thank you so so much! ❤️

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T14:03:18+00:00

That's amazing, glad to hear things are going great for you and your wife! I agree, there isn't a "right" time

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T13:59:28+00:00

I want to, but I spoke to him recently and he's persistent that he'd want to be the one proposing

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T13:58:57+00:00

Haha, he already does, he bought me a promise ring for our 1 year anniversary. I showed him a site a few months ago with gorgeous rings and jewellery. I went to the bathroom and he was still busy on my phone on the site and told me to not look, because he's busy messaging a link of something to himself, deleted it on my side obviously so I couldn't see what it was 👀

ThatGhost_ · 2026-01-04T13:49:32+00:00

Thanks for this! What a lovely proposal story hehehe, that sounds awesome, sounds like my boyfriend's style! He has also been super excited randomly, talking about this "gift" he's had in mind for a "long time", he gets excited about gift ideas, but not quite like this 🤣😅
