A class-action lawsuit is being prepared to get a refund for the tickets.
On Saturday, November 7, the Russian rock band “Three Days of Rain” performed a concert in Minsk. Not all audience members were satisfied with the performance. On Threads, people complained about the show starting late and the sound quality. There was even a suggestion to file a class-action lawsuit to get refunds for the tickets, reports "Zerkalo".
The "Three Days of Rain" concert took place at the Sports Palace. It was announced that the artists would present their new album, “U.” They stated that “the concert would be an opportunity to hear favorite songs live and get acquainted with the band’s new material”. However, shortly after the show, posts began appearing on Threads from audience members who had questions about the event. Some attendees noted that the start, which was supposed to be at 7:00 p.m., was delayed by about an hour.
“We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and waited patiently until 7:00 p.m. We knew that they (the band—Ed.) have a habit of being 10–15 minutes late. But to start at 8:00 p.m. and finish at 9:00 p.m.? That’s just awful! I especially feel bad for the people who traveled from other countries and cities,” wrote @rrmrvv on her account.
— What do you think about the one-hour delay and the concert lasting just under an hour instead of the announced two hours? — @viiik_niiik wondered.
— That was the worst concert in a long time. It was supposed to be a two-hour concert. In the end, [it] lasted only about an hour. There was an hour-long delay. It was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m., but the concert didn’t begin until 7:54 p.m. I couldn’t make out the lyrics, the sound was terrible—you couldn’t hear the lyrics, just constant bass. He just shouted his iconic songs into the microphone afterward. Ugh, awful… — says @petruhinkot.
@tattoo.grafskaya also pointed out the “sound” issue.
— Not only was the concert delayed by an hour due to “technical reasons,” but people also had to stand in line for an hour and then wait another hour by the stage. On top of that, the sound was like it was coming from a pair of broken 10-ruble headphones. It’s such a waste of money. And of my ears. People left disappointed… — the young woman shared her observations.
@petruhinkot, who had already attended one of the band’s concerts two years ago and was thrilled, also noted how the concert ended.
“The artist left the stage without even saying goodbye to the audience,” she described. “There was almost no interaction with the crowd. The bass was so deafening that the music drowned out the lyrics—I couldn’t understand a thing.”
That’s the kind of … concert, man! — wrote @ekaterina_levina1, posting a video of the performance on her page.
A video from the concert was also posted by user @gleb_pravilo.
Comments began to appear stating that some people would like a refund for their tickets.
Andrey Genser , a music education instructor , announced on his Threads page his intention to file a class-action lawsuit regarding the event.
“A class-action lawsuit is being prepared, as well as a complaint to law enforcement regarding the canceled concert,” — he wrote. — Many people saved up money and traveled from different cities to wait an hour before the concert started, only to get one hour of an “unintelligible” vocalist out of the advertised two-hour concert, followed by a concert that ended abruptly without any explanation. Anyone who wants a refund for the service not rendered—send me a private message. I’ll be filing a lawsuit.
