Fans in Hong Kong who purchased tickets to see Lionel Messi play were promised a 50% refund after the Argentine football star failed to appear in a scheduled exhibition match. The game, which was part of the "The Best of La Liga" tour, was supposed to feature Messi but he was unable to participate due to what was described as "personal reasons."
Organizers of the event apologized to the disappointed spectators and assured them that they would be eligible for a partial reimbursement of their ticket prices. This decision was likely made to compensate the fans for the lost OPPOrtunity to watch Messi play live, which was one of the main attractions of the match.
The terms and conditions for the refund, including how and when fans could claim it, would have been communicated by the event organizers or ticket vendors. Such measures are not uncommon in sports events where a high-profile athlete's participation is a key selling point and their absence can lead to significant disappointment among attendees.
