Replacement dates have not yet been worked out because of the comedian’s busy schedule, although Live Nation said it is working to re-book “as soon as is practical”.

Full refunds will be given to those who bought the tickets by credit or debit card within ten working days and customers who bought at an agency by cash or EFTPOS will be contacted by Ticketek directly to advise how to process their refund.
