É o Tchan denies shows in Paris and the Netherlands, and fans who bought tickets back in June cry scam: 'No refund'

É o Tchan has been hit by a wave of complaints from fans in Europe. The Bahia group issued a statement denying that the advertised shows in Paris and in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, scheduled for October 2 and 3, were ever confirmed. According to its production team, the band indicated schedule availability and sent a contract for the new dates, but the document was never signed by the other party.

In the statement, the group says 'the mere indication of schedule availability' is not definitive confirmation of a performance and that an unsigned contract does not authorize third parties to sell tickets as if the event were official. The explanation did not calm those who had already paid: on social media, Brazilians living in Europe say they bought tickets back in June and still haven't been refunded. 'I bought, asked for a refund and they still haven't given it back,' one fan wrote. Others talk of a scam and of filing police reports.

The case echoes another recent headache for Brazilian music abroad: singer Pablo cancelled US shows on the eve of the dates and is being pursued by the promoter. For Tchan fans who hoped to enjoy hits like 'Segura o Tchan' far from home, the lesson is to check the official channels before buying.
