cancellation consolation

Da complimentary gingerbread and hot chocolate dat they serve you at da public-transportation depot to make ya feel less bummed out when they hafta delay a departure due to a scheduled trip's being nixed for whatever reason.

Another example of a "cancellation consolation" would be if someone had to regretfully forgo a promised activity due to an unforeseen mishap, but offers you a comparably-enjoyable alternative, such as if a cute chick had arranged to go for a pleasant stroll hand-in-hand wif you, but then she accidentally hurt her foot and thus made it too painful for her to walk a long distance, and so she offered to let you savoringly massage her pretty feet for an extended period instead.
