To prove their point, included in the filing is an email from a person who spent $500 on top-tier tickets to a Demon Hunter concert in Albany, thinking they were purchasing admission to a KPop Demon Hunters event for their children, aged five and six. "Is their[sic] anyway to refund me or get me a credit or something[?]" the person wrote. "If I dont get it refunded I will not be able to purchase tickets to the actual ‘K pop demon hunters show’."

Okay first... That's ridiculous that this parent paid $500 for tickets for their kids.

Second, rough.

At $500/ticket, I'd assume they're internationally famous...or maybe they're doing the musical equivalent of transmorphers hoping to confuse grandma...
