Oceans Calling just cancelled Friday — I have weekend passes, should I still go or try to bail?
Bought weekend passes for Oceans Calling in Ocean City and woke up to the news that Friday shows are cancelled because of a coastal storm and beach erosion. Saturday and Sunday are still on as far as I can tell, and my hotel is booked and nonrefundable. Is it actually worth going for the two remaining days, or should I try to sell the passes and cut my losses? Has anyone dealt with their refund or partial-refund process when a day gets cancelled?

- Go for the two days, skip trying to sell
You already paid for the hotel, which is the sunk cost that matters here. Festival refunds for a cancelled day are usually partial at best, so check their terms page before you spend an hour on hold with support. Two days of a festival you wanted to see beats a fire-sale resale on a storm weekend. Bring a rain plan and screenshot the schedule offline in case service is spotty on the beach.
