Re: Refund of tickets – [event], [date], order no. [___]

Sir or Madam,

On [date], I purchased [__] tickets for [event] scheduled on [date], for a total of $[amount] including fees. The event was [cancelled / postponed to ___ and I cannot attend].

Since the service was not provided, I am entitled to a full refund, including service fees [a credit or voucher is not acceptable to me].

I put you on notice to refund the sum of $[amount] within 15 days. Failing this, I will request a chargeback from my card issuer and institute proceedings, with a copy to the Office de la protection du consommateur.
