Sacramento Concert Cancelled - Page 2

It would be nice to give more than 24 hours (or 12 hours) notice, if at all possible.

Except for Arizona and New Orleans, I have no plans to travel anywhere else to see them, not even to Vegas, but if I'd been going to Sacramento, I'd be upset, not because of the cancellation, but because of the short notice.

I can guarantee it wasn't due to the Earthquake last night. My wife didn't even feel it and I told her I thought I felt the couch move for a second. It was a mild earthquake at best.
So someone must be sick. Hope they don't cancel Los Angeles. Get well whoever it is. We need the full Rock Show!!!!

Very , very flaky.They should just cancel Oakland now and get it over with instead of waiting until the eleventh hour for that one too.

What a terrible shame. I'm sorry for the fans who were looking forward to tonight.

These cancellations have left me feeling increasingly anxious. I hope upon hope that the band makes it to Milwaukee.

I think stevie looks a bit feverish or something..

Unless somebody is sick, this is bull****. I'm sick of seeing shows getting canceled literally hours before they begin. I, along with many other fans, paid a pretty penny to see these guys and now they bail out on us? Nice.

By the way, if Stevie (or anyone else) doesn't want to be on tour (as it appears to be, unless she is legitimately sick), then why the hell would they agree to going on tour? It's a bummer and it's getting ridiculous.

I agree. This wasn't that kind of quake, & it would have had absolutely no effect in the Sacramento region anyway. That's 400 miles away from Los Angeles. Seismic waves attenuate rapidly throughout most of California (unlike Missouri).

I hope that whoever is ill will soon be feeling better, & that it's not gravely serious.

Wow, I feel bad for all affected.

Hope everyone in the band is OK. It's impossible to think that a group once labeled as a California band wouldn't be selling tix there!

Man, this is sad to see.

I just wish there was more of a forthright explanation of these cancellations, rather than just the vague 'undisclosed illness' statement issued last Tuesday. It would be nice to hear something coming directly from the band, perhaps one of the members making a quick statement into a camera with a genuinely heartfelt "We're so sorry for the fans who've paid dearly, made travelling plans, taken days off work to be there, but here's what's happened... " I think they at least owe their fans that.

It depends on where you were. It was not mild in my neck of the woods. But certainly it wouldn't be any reason to cancel a tour date or even a manicure appointment!

Yes, this is exactly correct. If you got specific and said, one of the members has bronchitis and would not be able to perform at full capacity, we want to postpone the show and reschedule on another date to give you your money's worth, I think we would all be perfectly happy with that.

"Undisclosed illness" sounds phony and melodramatic. I will only forgive 'em if one of them has the black plague. Swine flu would not be enough to justify such mystery.

LIVENATION: This show has been postponed. New date is still to be determined, but tickets for today's show will be honored at it.

Agreed, I'm going to the Oakland show from central ca. and have Wed. Thur, & Friday off! So now wondering if I should change my schedule or not. Of cource I'll wait till tomorrow to see whats up, but to canc. a show 12 hrs. before the show is really pushing it. You would think one must be pretty darn sick to canc. any show, but here in California!!

Monday, May 18
ARCO Arena
Sacramento

Fleetwood Mac has postponed their scheduled show for tonight, May 18th at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento due to illness.

A rescheduled date will be announced soon.

Tickets that were purchased for the May 18th ARCO Arena show will be honored at the newly rescheduled date.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

This is the statement released by Live Nation. I rec'd it via email. I'm not going to cry in my soup, but I was laid off 4 months ago. My wife and I bought tickets ($300+) in March. It was something we were really looking forward to. This fukcing sucks!!

However, if it is an illness, I hope everything's OK.

Would someone explain how this works? I mean I don't think Mac is going to back track and play any cancelled venues right? Will TicketMaster hopefully give us a full refund??

Thanks!
