That is so horrible-- hopefully it's just postponed and we'll get an explaination soon? :( I checked the Ticketmaster website and it says it "no longer exists in the database" why don't they just say that it's cancelled?

:distress:

Edited: OK, over on Burnish and Mick's BB, they're talking about how they called the Pyramid and it's due to the "catastrophic events" happening in Memphis right now. Apparently they had the worst storms they've had in like 50 years, and most have been without power for 11 days. Here's the article link if you'd like to read more info about the situation there.

Not sure what to make of the situation. Doesn't sound like there's any damage to The Pyramid, the Dixie Chicks show is still on for tomorrow night...

I wouldn't be upset if they replaced the Memphis show with another stop in OKC! :)

I understand your frustration Alex...I had already made arrangements and plans for this show...and bought my tix off Ebay...so hopefully I don't get screwed.

Wait a minute, Nashville's just up the road ;)

I don't think it's being rescheduled...and some1 told me its due to poor ticket sales...im guessin because there was 3 TN shows, and TN isnt a large state, population wise....

Yea, but it is a long state that borders on many other states. So, that may be the logic.
