Opening night is still opening night - just 5 days later. Meaning the show that was due to happen first is still going ahead first. It sucks yes, but at least those who paid for first night tickets are still getting first night tickets.

Hmmm...this kinda reminds me of Croke Park...Can't imagine why...Oh, well.

What is Croke Park?

They cancelled the 2 shows in Cologne before they even got there... a couple of days earlier and it was scrapped altogether... not just postponed!

When he sold out his shows as quickly as he did, you had nothing to say. But now that he is predictably having some problems, there you are ripping him again, going on what a fuck up he's become. It's like you couldn't wait to scream "I told you so!!"

ehuffnsd said:

they cancelled some shows in Germany for S&S II as well, postbones few concerts in South America and sometimes she might have been ill.

But she never cancelled after half a tour or because of some tempers.

Noone doubts that Madonna WILL tour in 2009, tickets are sold, and that's a good feeling.

As an MJ fan you always have to fear over everything...

first night is the 13th and the second is the 16th, and so on like before.

8th July 2009 now becomes 13th July 2009

10th July 2009 now becomes 1st March 2010

12th July 2009 now becomes 3rd March 2010

14th July 2009 now becomes 6th March 2010 but LAST SHOW

I have to agree with that but they will happen in the end, the shows haven't been cancelled, they have been shifted, and god, some people acting like it’s a catastrophe, it was a horrible decision for the fans who booked first shows ticket and I don't blame them for getting mad but as swa said ,an opening night is still opening night, it’s not a tragedy...

Looks like BBC just reported that AEG are trying to get the shows back to July....

SCNDLS said:

Which proves the latter part of my original reply.

bboy87 said:

Really? Why even go through that hassle saying it'll be on different dates, now they realize that doing that would be detrimental to ticket buyers?

A stadium in Dublin in which Prince was supposed to to a show last year! Many people from all over Europe booked a flight there, including yours truly, only to have the show cancelled without explanation the monday in the week before the gig!

bboy87 said:

Really?? I know some people who already have changed their flights...

Kenny and Randy talk about the shows being moved

http://www.michaeljackson...?vid=7#vid

right it's been like that every since the first allegations. Everyone loved Michael when he was riding high especially in 83 and 84..but as soon as he fell from grace, kick em when they are down. Join the bandwagon and lets harass michael until he's laying in the coffin stone cold.

PatrickS77 said:

Gotcha. Wow...

PatrickS77 said:

Now that's just gonna get people even more pissed.

...Randy Philips said AEG will offer refunds if need be

bboy87 said:

Hmm, will they refund flight and hotel costs as well?

bboy87 said:

post the whole interview, is there a script? can't watch the video

seeingvoices12 said:

my hands are too tired for doing exams


I'll just cut and paste what qBee said about it
Kenny Ortega asked the dates to be changed
for the integrity of the shows and for safety reasons
becuase they didnt have enough rehearsal dates at 02
before the opening night due to other artists concerts.


They needed a certain amount of dates to set up and rehearse at the venue and they simply didn't have it

bboy87 said:

LOl.. okay, I see.

MyNameIsPiper said:

Not really the same at all cuz Prince himself NEVER announced he was doing that.

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

Baby, can you PLEASE quote correctly. Geezus.

sorry

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

It's alright.

I said in another thread that if Michael can pull this off and follow through with these shows,it will be the comeback of the century.Come on Michael,get it together and just DO IT! No delays,no excuses,no more postponements,just DO IT! Whatever the problems are,work it out and follow through.This may be his final chance to make a comeback.

SCNDLS said:

So what? He doesn't announce every show himself... and if he wouldn't have signed contracts the he should have sued the concert promoter, he's suing people who post his pictures on the net... the concert promoter used his picture for advertising... besides, his band had the date on their Myspaces... so it was an official show!
