Michael Buble postponed his concert tonight so he and others could watch his beloved Vancouver Canucks. Can you imagine if Vedder cancelled his show for something like this? Granted, i personally wouldnt mind if he did and rescheduled because I sold both my tickets for tonight to watch my beloved Bruins. I am seeing Vedder tomorrow and Saturday anyway.

    I dont know his music but I saw this on this on the news this morning and it made me think of the situation many of Bruins fans are facing.

    probably not the case for a weekday Michael Buble show, but what if someone bought plane tickets and hotel rooms to come see a show?

    Shitty thing to do, IMO.

    I agree. Cancelling for a sports event doesn't seem right.

    You go Michael! I tell ya, Game 7 for the Cup is a BIG deal to hockey fans. Since he's a 'nucks Fan, it's the right thing to do.

    Shitty move........people make plans months in advance for this kind of stuff. Suck it up and respect your fans.

    Dont know Buble is to begin with, but he seems like a douche.
  • i love Michael Buble - he's got a great voice, lots of charm, and he's really cute :)

    He is obviously a big sports fan, but it sucks for any fans who did have to fly and stuff.

    I'm not into sports at all. Watch a bit of cricket and tennis, but that's about it.

    Anyway, even I'm excited to see who will win tonight. All of the dilemmas on here, seeing how historic it is and exciting for the Bruins (?) and all. It's obviously a big deal to a lot of people, and I am quite looking forward to seeing the scores turn up on here. Have no clue about the actual game, or any other teams. But still, I can understand the excitement.

    there is no right or wrong in this situation. just as many will skip the show and lose out on their money to watch the game instead. it goes both ways. damned if you do damned if you don't.

    I have no problem with it. I mean what's worse postponing your show one day and putting on your best effort or going through the motions because your mind won't be on the show for a packed house who paid a lot of money to see you.

    For what it's worth, my mom raves about him and talked about his shows in the same vein I talk about PJ after she went to his show the last couple of years as Xmas and bday gifts from me.

    Yea, I as much as it would have worked out for me personally if Vedder postponed, It would not work out for the majority of the people Im guessing. i dont see how you can cancel or postpone a show the day before. Im sure its creating havoc for many people and their plans. What if you came to watch the show tonight and fly or drive back home tomorrow. its just seems that it would create a logistical nightmare.

    I think postponing the show is worse. At least those who are selling/eating their tickets are making the choice as a ticketholder. If that decision is being made for you and you couldn't care less about the game, I imagine it would be frustrating.

    How are they eating their tix? He's offering a full refund for anyone who can't go the next day?

    Agreed. Why should people who bought tickets to the concert and don't care about hockey have to deal with being rescheduled.

    I can see it happen if Ed's Cubs made it to game 7 of the World Series.
