  More info

  On June 17, 2023 I purchased four tickets to attend the Salute to ******** Dinner and Fireworks show at Greenfield Village on July 2nd. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled due to storms in the area. I called Greenfield Village to see if I could just get a credit use for Holiday Nights, as we planned to purchase tickets to attend this event. I was told no, and they only could get me tickets to see the *** or credit towards membership renewal. As we do not want to see the *** and our membership is paid I declined. I was then told that they could not give me a credit as they had to pay the *** even though they did not perform. Why would they agree to pay a performer for not performing and then expect the customer to just eat the money. We've been member for years and cannot believe this has become an issue. Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.
