Ticket Refund
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/07/brian_wilson_fans_not_wearing.html
I really like this idea of bands offering refunds if they suck, don't play long enough or unable to perform adequately. Especially if you could go backstage and tell the artist(s) why you want your money back. Is 75 minutes too short a show when your paying big bucks for a ticket? Damn, Stone Mecca played for over an hour as an opening act. If this video is proper evidence, Brian Wilson & Friends are pedestrian at best.

Stone Mecca playing for over an hour just makes the bill RZA would have to front me that much larger - sucking and playing 30 minutes would have been a lot better.
I dont think anyone but B Wilson would adopt such a strategy. can you imagine if Van Halen had to compensate people for that reunion show they did where the midi of the keyboards was out of tune w/ eddie's guitar? Those ticks were all way over $100 ea, right? Yikes.
Fugazi had it right - If you pay $5 bucks and it was an off night for them (which I cant imagine it ever really was) You've still spent way less than a night at the movies or for beer or Poutine, even.
