Sylvester Stallone He has some sad fans after an event with the “Rocky” star who allegedly sold more photo shoot packages than they could fit…and now they’re going to get refunds.
Sly was booked to attend a concert this past weekend in LA called “Experience with Sylvester Stallone LIVE” – sponsored by his namesake company, Experience With – where people were meant to have a nice dinner, hear Sly speak onstage and bid on memorabilia Signed.
Naturally, there were different ticket packages available – including some first-class packages that included a meet-and-greet and a promised pic with the legend himself… with pricing options ranging from $750 to $1,250.

What happened in the end, though… Sly wasn’t able to get through all of the filming. We’ve seen an alleged organizers email sent to frustrated fans that read, “The reason the photos didn’t go as planned was because Mr. Stallone had to leave the event early as expected and he wasn’t feeling 100%. Our events can be very demanding.” We have to respect the wishes of celebrities at all times.”
Of course, fans were outraged… but a source close to Sly tells us the email wasn’t accurate. We’re told Sly’s contract bound him to a certain time with a photo shoot and he actually stayed longer than he had to…they blame the organizers for selling too many photo packages for the allotted time.
Ticket buyers flooded Experience With’s social pages, frankly wondering if they’d ever get compensation for the Sly incident… There seemed to be quite a few people who were left empty-handed, with no guidance from EW as to what was going to happen. is happening.
Welp, Experience With sets the record straight — TMZ is told that whoever paid for an upgraded photo ticket with SS and didn’t receive one will be reimbursed accordingly.

An experience with also said it got about 60% of the photos, so the number of people left commenting was about 100…not 300 like some online claimed. They also say that this thing happens from time to time with their celebs, as they can turn into long nights.
Experience With says all customers have been contacted and offered a full refund or the option to attend another event with Sly in the future.
