The ticket sales are mostly set in stone regardless of this Ticket sales are mostly set in stone? I’d contend a huge chunk of tickets on this tour are purchased close to the day of show.

I would like to see the stats either way, like I said though I would contend a huge percentage of tickets on this tour regardless are gonna be bought by people who either have no idea about a different show in a different city being postponed in a one-off way, or folks who are unbothered by it Edited September 8, 2023 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal I guess but that was my intended point 🤷♂️ Edited September 8, 2023 by Martin Riggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the venue… before the fans… before anyone. Like we give a lot of things a pass on this fan board, but please let’s not start giving a pass to incompetent management. Venue employees who were watching the stage get taken down are the real heroes here. if it isn’t Axl that’s sick, it’ll be Slash and/or maaaaaaybeeeeee Duff. No other reason other than a steel (the stage build itself) issue would shut this moneytrain down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a band member's personal issue is the cause of this situation, the band does not need to give specific medical details to the public. You are wrong.

Blackstar Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Just now, Martin Riggs said: Springsteen just cancelled a bunch of shows yesterday and told his fans what illness he was dealing with. Yes, that was his choice. However, other artists choose to not to provide detailed explanation, so GN'R is not unique to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like it would be wise to be as transparent as possible as it could affect shows that are literally days away. Done debating about it.

Not a big deal I guess but that was my intended point 🤷♂️ Well, a lot of bands don't provide the specific information about the reason of cancelling. I had an experience in July in Budapest when Hollywood Vampires got cancelled an hour before the show time. A lot of fans have already been at the venue, some people were waiting the whole day at the sun, when the statement about cancellation came and it was only "due to unforeseen circumstances" thing. I was sad but I felt more sorry for diehards who were there the whole day. In this particular case they provided information a day before the show, told that this is because of the illness and IMO it is ok if they don't want to say who is sick or what kind of illness it is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlconcerts Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Had floor tickets for the show tomorrow, I'm not sure why everyone is so upset. There have been reports for the last week that Axl was sick . They announced as an official statement more than 24 Hours in advance that it is postponed. Disappointing sure but we shouldn't expect the band to play not feeling well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bitchisback Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2023 So many heartless people in here who just view the band as a robot or something. These are humans like you and I and clearly they wouldn't cancel unless someone was seriously ill. Everyone in the band outside of Melissa is at an older age and it could be something serious. Have a heart and fuck off 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
