I am finding the backlash over this over on the various Facebook pages quite sad - not that people are going despite Rick's absence, but the logic-defying arguments that we must honour Rick by attending, and support the band more now than ever, amongst others.
That people pretend to seek unity amongst Quo fans yet don't even attempt to try to understand why people no longer wish to go, going as far as to mock and slag is totally ironic to say the least. Why can't people live and let live? What's it to them anyway? Seems quite attention seeking to me, but hey that's Facebook!
It's also a mild form of bullying. Accept that people in life have different opinions, stop acting so shocked, and get on with it. The world would stop turning if it weren't for dispute and conflict. History is almost nothing but!!
...though the irony of my own post isn't lost on me either!!

What a childish reaction to fans, of Quo, who've obviously spent many $$$ plus loyalty to the band over the decades. These fans are the people who have helped Quo enjoy a 50 year career. It's just plain to see that this Duroc mob along with management have absolutely lost contact with the fans. They just don't GET IT. This band's foundations were proudly built on and promoted as a band for the working class ffs. A once loud proud rough n tough band and we stood by them despite all the mocking. Rick Parfitt is a legendary guitarist and is the integral 'other half' of Quo today and many fans have little interest in the band if he isn't there.It's all watered down now and it is what it is but by f... this management has no class at all with that condescending offer of a refund.

great news, I am in my own negotiations with duroc, will comment later. What else is there to negotiate on? We asked for refunds which are now being given so end of surely? Maybe they saw that he was happy to sell his tickets for a penny so that's all they offered him.

The management have come out with statements in the past that are insulting towards fans, but that one really takes the biscuit.
Nobody can deny now that Duroc/Porter have an agenda with fans who do not toe the line.
Absolutely no need to mention "handful of fans" when replying to an individual fan.
Not just because it makes the fan in question feel as if they've done something wrong, but also it's trying to stop them making the press aware of the situation. It would be crazy to think that the management don't read this board and don't know about DQ's efforts.

I've just read this again. "the band has continued to perform as brilliantly and as powerfully as ever". Really? So, not only is poor Rick ill, he wasn't infact needed in the band anyway for them to perform 'as powerfully as they always did'. Utter disrespect of Rick and the fans that put this band where they are.

When all is said and done, I'm actually very sad, that this is the way my association with the band ends

So finally a result. Now how do we claim a refund ? Does it have to be done through Duroc or Ticketmaster etc?

Ha, if anything, Rick would be delighted to hear people aren't going because he's not there. Would perk him right up I'd love this to be true. Fed up of reading mindless, brainwashed statements about how going to the gig is somehow honouring Rick and supporting the band in their apparent hour of need. If you want to honour anyone, honour yourself and do what the f**k YOU want, when you want, and don't let the peer pressure manipulate your tiny mind. Yep, I'm sure Rick, a pretty spirited chap as he is, will see the humour to be had. Lame brains!

Hahah what an absolute shit stain of a company Duroc are... Trying to make you feel bad for wanting a refund because you're not going to see what was advertised and using RICKS HEALTH SITUATION as a means to do so! what a fucking disgrace. Fans are more worried about Rick than anyone in or around the band are... what a shocker this is, they're only arsed about the money these days! it's been that way for so long, sad they no longer give a fuck what they're giving the fans and half arse everything! Quo have well and truly gone down the drain and those that still think otherwise about the management and SIMON PORTER (king prick himself) are deluded
EDIT; think I need to add something else as well... 'band has continued to perform as brilliantly and as powerfully as ever.' I think there was more energy from Quo when they was miming for the Don't Stop and FITLC gigs. and 'As powerfully as ever'? well Rick is basically 100% the powerhouse in that band so that statement is... hmmmm... something
