I wouldnt b at all surprised if we will hear that a lot of bands and rock performers will b cancelling tours planned for this year due to the financial crisis and economic slowdown!! I know of 3 acts who are supposed 2 b touring this year that may have 2 rethink their plans and even cancel out, purely because fans wont b able 2 afford tickets, as well as travel expenses, accommodation and food, not 2 mention merchandize!! Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen(no great loss, IMO) and Coldplay!! And, I am sure there are others as well, who were considering touring this year but probably will b having second thoughts!!!!

HAS IT REALLY COME DOWN 2 THIS NOW?????

Justin Timberlake
Britney Spears
50 Cent
Madonna

The Beggars
The Wallstreet Wonderboys
Glenn Medeiros
Johnny Logan
...

Springsteen announced a world tour today, so

historically, entertainment does well thru recession/depression. It's called escapism. U might see slightly lower ticket prices.

Fleetwood Mac didn't cancel their tour.They play my area in May.And Madonna is gearing up for a 2-month summer European tour.

I don't think there will be any shortage of tours. But I doubt anyone will be charging $312.10 for general admission.
