I will soon receive a refund for concert tickets I purchased using my paypal account. The event has been cancelled and will only refund back to the original purchase method but my paypal account has been and is closed,how can i receive refunded money to a closed account? Will the refund go to my bank account that is linked to my now closed paypal account?

If you funded the original Paypal payment to the seller from your bank account or a card then once marked refunded/completed it will automatically go back to that bank account or card.
Normally it can take a few days up to a week to go back to a bank account and a bit longer for a card, Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
