Chloe Osborne bought tickets to the concert, but didn't want to risk getting sick.

"I feel like this could affect my grandparents, my younger siblings, I have a 9-year-old younger sister that doesn't really have the best immune system, so I feel like this could affect way more than just myself."

Chloe says she called the Pepsi Center to see if she could get a refund, but was told the only way she could is if the show was canceled.

"I really didn't feel like I should have to go to the concert or lose the several hundred dollars that I spent to go tonight. I tried multiple avenues to try and get my money back and no one was really listening."
