It could all be a cunning plan to screw more money out of the fans... carry on with the Last Night of the Electrics tour without Rick. Then, out of the kindness of their hearts, do another Last Night of the Electrics tour next year with Rick for those who were disappointed to miss him the first time round. If they thought that they could get off with this they would. My fear is that they are establishing a principle here that quo is really Francis. ..and will use this tour as the test that refunds aren't required. I believe they already know that rick can't return. ..and they are just stringing this out so that they can continue with the tour

So now they will both think, blimey we got away with that then, lets do the tour and squeeze them dry, they've paid the money don't give them a choice.... quoal quojc

How about just waiting to see what happens nearer to the gigs?Sorry but all this speculation is completely pointless in my opinion until someone actually says Rick isn't undertaking the UK tour. I do understand your point DQ,just think it's bit early to worry about court cases and suing people etc etc Cheers

Will cost me 30 quid or so for small claims court and I will win the principle there...

If I was you derryquo, I would just go & see the show, fuck it! It is very disappointing not Rick there, but you've got tickets, just go mate. Better than staying at home watching crap on tv or something.

And my latest reponse. Brian, once again I appreciate the response. But I am not happy with it. I am obliged to advise you of my proposed next steps and give MCD an opportunity to respond more positively before I take the next step. My next steps will be to approach the Consumer Council and establish what my rights are. I am also formally advising you that I plan to lodge this case in the small claims court, in an effort to resolve the matter. I simply want to know from MCD, if I will get a refund if Rick parfitt is not playing. If you can’t answer this, I will be asking the consumer council and small claims court to adjudicate on the matter. They will ask me what efforts I have made to resolve with the retailer ( MCD), and that’s why I am giving MCD one final opportunity to resolve the matter. Comedy Gold

He and everyone else is entitled to a refund if Rick is not there. Simple as that.

Though agreing with the sentiment, I can't see any legal grounds for a refund. Status Quo will still play hence the contract has been honoured - a bit like the entire first team of your favourite overpaid football team coming down with a bad case of gout or gonorrhoea {applies to Chelsea, Man Utd} the match still takes place - 2nd team on FA Cup matches. Wonder how much it is to prebook a venue and how much Quo would loose if the entire tour was cancelled? A very sad way to end things but health comes first. Can't end it like this, so have a proper farewell next year when everyone is flying on full cylinders. Still think that an electric farewell was a bad idea anyway - do it properly, a 2hr show with messers L and C on the bill as well.

Status Quo are advertised as Rick and Francis for this tour. Tickets were bought on that basis and Rick has been plastered all over the advertisements, posters, press releases etc. If he's not there, people bought tickets for something they didn't, hence why refunds will have to be offered. There is no other way. If Rick is not up to doing the tour, you'll see him removed from those tour posters very quickly...Watch

Alongside my small claims application, I intend to email a statement to every newspaper I can think of. Status quo unfortunately are rick and Francis and that's who I paid to see. Some one will pick this up. Its a disgrace the way they are touring without rick and they will do it at Christmas if they are let of with it.
