Rafale practised on the Friday in 2017, IIRC. Wasn't present the following year so can't confirm whether it did then or not.

Stop publicly admitting you don't know things! You'll spoil your reputation!

I see it says you can request refund, donate or transfer to another show. I wonder if this will apply to shows in 2021 or just in 2020.
