Something extra interesting is that on the radio today I heard this announcement: " Due to a stage configuration change, there are now seats available for tonights Dixie Chicks concert at the Gund Arena"
. . .and open seating now available. . .
Well hope it is their ticket sales. . .or lack thereof that has this cancelled.
They so deserve it.
There is nothing unusual about that at all. Most arenas save more seats around the stage then they think they'll need for all the equipment.
After the stage is set up (usually within 48 hours of the show) they release those seats for sale. The good news is, they're close to the stage. The bad news is there's a bunch of stage equipment in front of you.
Then Templar says, A credible terrorist threat against the concert, maybe. Or maybe an accident. Or maybe sales so dismal they were ashamed to go on? Even though I don't like em, I hope it wasn't a threat or accident. Bad attendance sort of appeals to me though.
Considering what Estrogen offered, I would vote for Option #3. "Stage re-configuration indeed." BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Not interesting. Happens all the time w/large shows. Arenas block off certain sections of seats to ticket sales until they can see exactly how the stage, etc will be assembled or how it is assembled.
When they figure it out, they release tickets for those areas where they now know fans' views won't be obstructed.
If you're on the ball, being aware of this is actually a great way to score last-minute tickets for sold-out shows.
Uh-huh.
