Probably not unless you have travel insurance.

That's very disappointing on her cancelled tour. 

Any idea where my partner stands on non refundable hotel booking paid for? Any way of being able to claim back?

Probably not my man. If its not linked in any way to the gig that they're going to.

Travel insurance wont cover it either as they will just say its separate from the gig and can still use hotel. I had same when MJ died and Winehouse cancelled her tour

Unlikely, your best bet is to try and sell the hotel room to someone else. That or just have a night out wherever it is

What are the chances of her not doing Glastonbury now?

Hopefully she’ll have recovered long before then.

No - unless it's covered by travel insurance or a credit card that it was paid for.

Personally, I'd find something else to do in the place where the hotel is booked, or just explore a bit.

With many hotel booking sites these days, you don't have to pay straight away or in some cases you can pay when you go, so maybe consider this for the future!

Was looking forward to seeing her next week, hope it’s nothing too serious.

Doctors have said 4 weeks off singing at the moment, so I'd say it's a bit soon to cancel Glasto

Considering shes only been given a 4 week rest notice I'm sure 4 months away will be fine.

I've only seen 'could this mean?'

[WestCountryGirl]

Yeah, the only stories I've read still mention that she is "due to perform" at Glastonbury in June.

It was nice to be excited about it for a while, but now I'm downgrading my expectations again so it will just be a great treat to actually see her on the Pyramid.

Yeah, in that story they say "was due to finish up [the run of tour dates]" (but obviously now there is no run to finish) and then under the picture still say "is due".

Lana hasn't mentioned Glastonbury or other festival appearances in her statement, so I don't think anyone has that as fact.

There’s nothing in what LDR has said to suggest she’s cancelling Glasto.

Four weeks off, not four months.

Not covered. Gig tickets not covered either. Worked in the game for years.

Fuck hotel booking sites. If you book direct with independents you will get it cheaper and also better terms. B.con are only there to take their massive cut and couldnt give a fuck about you or the owners. Sorry we work in the industry and I hate them with a passion. Unfortunately they are a necessary evil cos it's what everyone uses.

I’ve tried booking direct with hotels many times and unfortunately I’ve mostly found the cheaper prices are on the booking sites. A lot of places will give you extras for booking directly like tea facilities in the room or spa or gym access but the price isn’t better. 
 

The only time I’ve found it cheaper was booking a hotel in Amsterdam once where we found it on a booking site and then booked directly.

I hear ya. It's a battle but I did say independents. If you booked direct with us you would definitely get a better price. 

I've tried getting a better price myself with chains and all you get is someone in an office without the authority to change the price. Also b.con give incentives such as genius discounts. They actually rang us and told us because we were cheaper direct that they were gonna offer car hire, free taxis or money off. Nothing we can do about that. 

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Well the thing is if she’s actually cancelled due to voice problems and it’s not something else. You never know do you.

How much are you paying? As far as I'm aware b&bs in Blackpool don't cost a lot and still have overheads? 

Sorry for derailing the thread. I just get a bit passionate about this. It's a daily battle to keep our business going.
