Judge orders gig refund for furious Coldplay fan who had to 'crouch' in seat to see band

A JUDGE has ordered Ticketmaster to refund a furious Coldplay fan who ended up crouching in "restricted view" seats, unable to see the band during their Croke Park gig last year.
When the chart-toppers announced they were bringing their Music of the Spheres world tour to Dublin, James McGetrick thought he "hit the jackpot" but it became a "disaster".
Dublin District Court heard he scooped pre-sale tickets to go to the gig with his wife on August 29, but on the night, they were forced to "crouch down" on their seats near the back of the lower Hogan Stand to see Chris Martin's performance. Mr McGetrick took a small claims case against the Ticketline Unlimited Company, trading as Ticketmaster.
He told Judge Peter White they bought tickets released through the artist pre-sale well ahead of the general public.
