Why not just charge back and move on with your life? If SXSW wants to have a dumb policy, they can deal with convincing the bank.

This is a good way to kill your credit score...

Legitimate disputes won’t kill your score.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Legitimate disputes won’t kill your score.

If their policy indicates no refunds, how is that a legitimate dispute?

If you pay for services or goods you should expect to be rendered those services or gifts in a reasonable time and manner. There are consumer protection laws that state exactly this.

It sucks for the people who are losing money over this, but the policy is pretty clear, so it's harsh but fair. I think before we are done with the coronavirus, there will be a lot more economic losses spread around.
