"Advice" is much weaker than a directive. Same goes for theatres - advice, not a ban. That means the theatre is liable for ticket refunds - if instructed to close, they would not be.
Again, I don't dispute the clear intent, but the words themselves are a little vague.

Let’s be honest, most government directives tend to be vague!
As you observe above, and has been said in the MM thread, liability to refund customers or not depends on who cancels the event. Also, whether the organiser can claim from their business interruption insurance, presuming they have it.....
