A couple of Presidential Inaugural balls were cancelled due to low ticket sales and Dionne Warwick's American Music Inaugural Ball was one of them. No biggie, unless you were one of people suckered into dropping $450.00 for a ticket. Seems folks are having trouble getting refunds because "technically" the non-profit organization they bought the tickets from doesn't exists. The 'Dionne and Friends Foundation Inc.' has not had incorporation status for nearly three years -- and there's no record it ever had IRS nonprofit status. The offices they leased are empty and the phone lines are disconnected.
