Some Tickets For TNA's NYC Debut Won't Be Honored

We've been following the story of the confusion surrounding TNA Wrestling's September 6th event at the Manhattan Center in New York City. After Ticketmaster's website posted a message that the event was cancelled, TNA Wrestling responded by assuring fans that the event is still on and the cancellation message was a mistake. It's been back and forth since then with many fans wondering whether the tickets they purchased before the error will be honored. The answer is no. This morning, Ticketmaster.com sent out the following statement:

Dear Valued Customer,

Due to an unexpected problem regarding the sale of tickets for the TNA Wrestling event at the Hammerstein Ballroom on September 6, your initial purchase of tickets to this event were likely lost from the system if purchased before August 9th. Yet, upon your receipt of a voicemail from Ticketmaster to this effect on August 10th, we trust that you were immediately able to repurchase the tickets that you needed on or after August 11th. But, we regret any inconvenience that this additional and unanticipated step may have caused you.

While reiterating our apology for any inconvenience that you may have experienced, please be advised that any tickets to this event that you may have received as a result of your initial purchase (before August 9th) obviously cannot be honored. But, be assured that that any new replacement tickets that you may have subsequently purchased will most certainly be accepted. And while we are making every effort to ensure that you retain the same seats that you may have booked before August 9th, we regret that we are unable to guarantee that you will do so. But, we are confident that you will have comparable seating.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we wish you an enjoyable evening.
