How can you get a refund for your Astroworld tickets if you attended?

Although the controlling entities behind the festival said that refunds would be made available to all ticket holders, they did not specify exactly when or how they would go about offering them.

What has been done already aside from offering refunds?

Aside from mentioning full refunds, Travis and a few of the other entertainers involved with Astroworld 2021 have pledged to help those affected by the tragedy in more ways than one. Rapper Roddy Ricch announced that he will be giving his "net compensation" from the festival to the families of those who passed away that night.
