Disappointed Miley Cyrus fans have started a petition on Change.org demanding a ticket refund for the singer's no show at Boston's KISS 108 Jingle Ball concert
Boston radio station KISS 108 allowed fans to believe that Cyrus will be performing at the concert despite knowing that the pop star was stranded in New York due to Winter Storm Electra.
"She's about to go onstage and soundcheck; we'll bring it to you live," claimed one sound clipping over the loudspeakers from the radio station.
"It's kind of surreal when you're just walking backstage and you literally, bump into Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus or Fallout Boy. They're all here," claimed another.
It was only at the end of the concert when an announcement was made that Cyrus wasn't able to make it did fans learn that their favorite star wouldn't be performing after all.
A Change.org petition has been started, asking for Jingle Ball ticket refunds since the headliner was unable to appear. The author of the petition, Rich Nowak, claimed he paid $800 for three tickets.
"Kiss didn't have anyone come out in person and explain the situation or apologize. It was very unprofessional and I'm not sure why they lied and said she was there at the beginning of the concert. Probably so people wouldn't leave when they found out that it looked like the headliner couldn't make it," the petition reads. "Needless to say the audience was disappointed when they heard the announcement. Some kids and even some teenagers were in tears. We paid to see Miley, who was headlining the show! If not a refund then Kiss should organize a free Miley concert for Jingle Ball ticket holders. Kiss 108 needs to do something because we did not get what we paid for."
A spokesperson from KISS 108 did release a statement apologizing for the inconvenience but didn't address the issue of a refund, according to a Billboard report. The statement read:
"We were sorry to inform fans at Saturday night's Kiss 108 Jingle Ball concert at TD Garden in Boston that Miley Cyrus was unable to perform. Unfortunately mechanical issues and inclement weather conditions in the Northeast prevented Miley Cyrus' flight from departing to Boston. When we received confirmation from Miley's management that she was unable to perform, we communicated to fans through social media and press. Miley was extremely disappointed she couldn't be there to perform, but looks forward to her next opportunity to entertain her fans in Boston.Kiss 108's Jingle Ball 2013 continued throughout the evening with a great line-up including Fifth Harmony, Robin Thicke, Fall Out Boy, Flo Rida, Selena Gomez, Paramore and Enrique Iglesias."
