I'm not surprised (shocking, I know ) Based on all of the $25 ticket sales (more than half of the upcoming shows, last I checked), I don't think it will be the last show to get axed, either (I'm looking at you, Omaha)

The venue in Greensboro is HUGE- second only to Tacoma in seating capacity out of the venues they're playing on this tour. I'm too lazy to check to see if it was a venue availability issue, but if they wanted another NC date, it really should have been Raleigh. Greensboro (the venue) is too big and (the city) too close to Charlotte (which ain't doing that great either).

Hmmm! Curious. I noticed yeserday there were 6 front row seats and 8 second row seats popping up. Must not have sold enough tickets. Times are tough right now. Sorry to hear it though for all you North Carolina fans.

I don't know, I'm not promoting the show- but I do know anywhere between 3000-5000 tickets to major concerts at MGM Grand are pulled as comps, with the act/promoter compensated a certain amount.

I'm so upset.. I tried so hard for those tickets. Felt like I'd gotten one over on the scalpers by being so persistent with my searching. I had a sitter for my kids, had gotten a good hotel rate. OK.... rant over.

Just called my Mom and my Husband and they are both telling me it must have happened for a reason and maybe we can go to another city. I'm in the travel business and can get free airline tickets. I'll keep trying for Charlotte but I doubt I'll get anything good.

I will...Guess I'll put that alarm back on my outlook reminding me to check every 30 minutes I had removed it once I scored the front rows yesterday.

Thanks for the encouragement Angel and Luke

What a bummer! This show was on my birthday, and I was trying to figure out a way to go somehow. I'm so sorry to all the folks planning to go to this show--Greensboro is not too far from Charlotte, so hopefully everyone can make that show.
