I can't imagine Rochester was full either and they kept their show. It's hard for me to believe the ticket sales were that abysmal.
The processes/methods for ticket refunds are already set and established by the industry in general- that's not why they haven't announced the cancellation yet.

Going with the pattern by what we've seen the band do this year (switching out Albany for Toronto #2- and that's why Rochester wasn't canceled, by the way, since it was then positioned as they only upstate NY play), and in '04 (Tinley Park 86'd for Scranton, and a few others), I'm betting that we're going to see a new market slip into its place. There's enough time to do it.

A market in the same region, with a smallish venue that shouldn't be too hard to sell 6000-7000 tickets (with an adjusted price scaling, to ensure that tickets actually sell). I'm thinking Moline. Just a hunch here.
