Macau's problem-prone bullfight festival suffered another setback yesterday when rain washed out the tournament.
Angry spectators gathered outside the ticket office to demand refunds when the two-hour show was abandoned after an hour.
But organisers refused to return their money.
Albert Ng Kwong-yu, 34, who had travelled from Hong Kong, said an offer of free entry to either of the two tournaments next weekend was not good enough.
'I can't spend all that money coming from Hong Kong again,' he said.
'I paid to see a bullfight, but have not seen [a complete] one. Everyone should get a refund.' Wong Po-yan, 23, said he would write to the Governor of Macau to complain. 'They are cheating us,' he said.
A spokesman for Taurus, the company staging the event, claimed the chance of bad weather was a risk people took when they bought the tickets.
