Rush Fan Sues Over Cancelled Concert

Rush Fan Sues Over Cancelled Concert

July 10, 2010

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Christopher Langone, 42, a one-time Chicagoan who flew in from Upstate New York to attend the second RUSH concert at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago, filed a breach of contract lawsuit on Friday, saying the show was shut down because of the rain despite a ticket stub and other promotional materials saying calling it a "rain or shine" event.

"I traveled here to Chicago to see the show with old friends," Langone told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I've been a lifelong fan of RUSH and we were very disappointed they canceled the show...especially when [the rain] stopped."

He's filed a class action suit, not only seeking reimbursement for the ticket but also his airfare and other travel expenses.

Langone says he purchased six tickets — at a cost of $80 apiece — $250 airfare, and a round of beers he bought at Charter One Pavilion before the concert was called off.

He's perused the online fan forums and says he believes others are in the same boat.
