Shattered to miss Columbus- Fuck you Delta airlines

Can't believe it dudes. We travelled from Australia for this show. We planned our honeymoon around it the day the tour was announced. To cut a long and painful story short, Delta fucked us over all the way from San Francisco. We should have arrived in Columbus at 10am. Instead it took 24 hours and we arrived at Nationwide arena just as the extatic fans were spilling out.
I hope you guys had a blast. I'm sure you did!
Don't want sympathy but do want to send a big up-yours to Delta. Fuckers!

    Man, that sucks :( I cannot imagine how pissed you must be at the moment.

    On a brighter note, congrats on your marriage :) I hope that you can salvage some joy and possibly hit up another show. Enjoy your honeymoon :)

    Oh God, that is a nightmare, so very sorry. Yes I hope you have other shows to go to or can quickly plan some.
    You might want to go see Niagara Falls too while you are near by. I've been a few times, it's very beautiful and romantic. Congrats on your life together!

    Oh, no, what an awful turn of events. Really, really hope you're planning on seeing them somewhere else on the tour. There are still tickets out there... if not, I hope it doesn't completely ruin your honeymoon.

    Thanks heaps for the replys. Feelin the love.
    Unfortunately our schedule was so tight with everything else we had planned we couldnt get to any other shows. Oh well we'll have to start saving up for the next tour and dedicate the whole thing to attending shows. Still pretty pissed off at Delta. Gonna complain like crazy but know i wont get much response. Heard a PJ song at the airport today and felt sick. Haha!
    On a brighter note we had an awesome honeymoon in the USA. Loved the people and all the places we went. Except Columbus...........
    Maybe see y'all next time.

    Sorry to hear that you weren't able to get to another show, but glad that the honeymoon went well otherwise. Come to the East Coast next time!
