Winery Tour cancelled

The 2018 Winery Tour has been cancelled. A release from the promoters simply stated: ‘‘Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Winery Tour regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2018 Winery Tour.’’

They said it was not possible to reschedule the tour, so they would ensure full ticket refunds were available for all shows from the point of purchase. The promoters vowed to process payments ‘‘immediately’’.

The Winery Tour 2018 was due to take in 10 locations around New Zealand from January 19 to February 10 including Kainui Road Winery in Kerikeri.

Ticketmaster’s site said: ‘‘If you booked online, over the phone or at a Ticketmaster outlet with a credit card, no action is required from you. A full refund will be issued back to the credit card you used to purchase the tickets. It can take some time to process, so please give Ticketmaster up to [seven] days to process your refund.’’

Tami Neilson and her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm were to perform, along with Annie Crummer, Che Fu, Jason Kerrison (Opshop), Betty-Anne Monga (Ardijah) and Hollie Smith.

People seeking refunds from Ticketmaster are urged to call 0800 111 999 between 9am-9pm Monday to Friday, or 9am - 5pm Saturday to Sunday.
