MLB, teams, ticket partners sued over failure to provide refunds
聯盟,球隊,以及售票公司因為沒有給予球迷退款被告
Major League Baseball, its teams and its official ticket resale partner were
sued Monday in federal court by two fans who have tried and failed to get
refunds for games called off because of the coronavirus crisis.
因為中國武漢肺炎關係導致球賽取消,兩位球迷因為嘗試要退款但是失敗,星期一的時候
在美國聯邦法院對聯盟,球隊,以及官方售票公司提起訴訟。
The suit, which seeks the class-action certification that would enable all
fans to join, demands a refund of ticket costs and ancillary fees for games
that have not been played.
這起訴訟正試著尋求成為團體訴訟,要讓所有球迷加入,要求要退款以及其他因為比賽取
消所導致的其他費用。
“While many businesses across this country have acted lawfully and ethically
by providing consumers with refunds for events that will never occur during
this pandemic, sometimes at the risk of bankruptcy, it remains notable that
America’s pastime — baseball — is refusing to do right by its fans,” the
lawsuit reads. “As stadiums remain empty for the foreseeable future,
baseball fans are stuck with expensive and unusable tickets for unplayable
games in the midst of this economic crisis.”
「當美國其他地方的許多企業正遵守法律以及道德要求,對於因為這次傳染病導致的活動
取消給予消費者退費,一些企業有時得面對破產的風險,但是更值得注意的是這"美國人的
