Can we ask for more money back from ELO organisers?

Q Like many thousands of people, I received notice of ELO’s Hyde Park concert, yesterday, being cancelled at 5pm the day before.

Can we ask for more money back from ELO organisers?

We had already travelled to London and had booked a hotel for two nights, plus car parking, plus putting our dog into the kennel for two nights. The only recompense we will receive is our ticket money. Our travel insurance does not cover this either, as it is not cut short by one of our party being ill. Had we been informed earlier, we would have been able to cancel our hotel and the kennel. Is it worth taking this further with the organisers?
