White Stripes Cancel Tour!!

cubbieblue82

It seems Meg has come down with a case of anxiety and the Stripes are cancelling all US dates for the fall!

FUCK!!

I have tickets bought from e-Bay! How the hell am I supposed to get my money back!

I'm sure that her problems are serious and I wish her well, but I think it is time for Jack to find a new drummer!!!:(

Anxiety issues are tough. Sorry to hear they cancelled the tour.

well according to pollstar.com they have only scrapped 3 dates - two of those dates were the Austin this weekend. So, it looks like Muse has been given the Head lining spot Sat Night, and guess their Stubbs BBQ show for Sun is just scrapped for now. This blows cause first they were due to play 2 shows at ACL and play right before Bob Dylan on Sun. Then that date was replaced by a show at Stubbs which I got no notice about (my own fault) but it doesn't matter cause it's a bust. Glad I didn't spend that money on the shows or the trip but I did want to see the Stripes only Texas show(s). Well the Sat night one! Just curious, whe did you hear the whole tour is axed?

This is according to their website, http://www.whitestripes.com .

I wish it weren't true, but I guess it is as official as it can be.

Has anyone ever had to get their money back after buying tix off ebay? I will try to contact the seller, hopefully I can get my money back but I really don't know.

I read it was the whole north american tour. I am disappointed, I had tickets at the Paramount but like the above poster said, anxiety issues are tough.

I think I'm having some anxiety issues now hearing this news :( Having tickets to 2 shows really hurts.
Maybe I'll have to get some tickets to see Uncle Neil to ease this blow.

Sucks. I was really excited to see them next week... had heard such awesome things about their live show too

poorgirl23

I was really looking forward to the two Seattle shows. I've been excited about it for months.

Sounds like Meg basically had a nervous breakdown. I hope she gets better soon. I know this band wouldn't make a decision like this if it wasn't something serious.

They are still coming to the UK then?

There is still good seats at the Newcastle show, I was contemplating it.

Good! I guess well now have to find another group to play a show on a bus or in a classroom

usually the original buyer of the tix will get a credit to their credit card automatically. at least thats what happened once for me when i had a show canceled. unless the dates are going to be rescheduled.

DaytimeDilemma

Wow, that really sucks for those who were going. Ah well, maybe some new Raconteurs sooner then?

yeah, but theyre gonna rape us for all the charges. a pair of tix for chicago was $100, but the tickets were only $36 each, which means I'll lose $28 to TicketMaster FOR NOTHING.

I had tickets to a Riders on the Storm concert that was cancelled a few years ago and TM refunded me the total amount- including fees

mensane

on the ticketmaster website it says they will automatically refund the ticket plus all fees (except shipping fees-like if you paid extra for overnight shipping).

i would contact the ebay seller and see what they are willing to do.

i had tickets to both seattle shows. sucks. at least i got to see them in vancouver.

AmentsChick

Man...I don't want to have to mess with getting my refund. UGH.

Oh, Jimmy

It could depend on what your auctions said. Usually there is a disclaimer sayin if the show is cancelled a full refund will be given.

Damn!!

sorry to offend any fans BUT good. i cannot stand that band, and meg white has no right to be behind a drumset, shes pretty much someone who can play the drums but isn't actually a drummer. sorry can't stand the white stripes.

Screw you man! I can understand that you don't like them, but what the hell difference does it make to you whether they tour or not?! Believe it or not there are a ton of people that DO like them, and a lot of us here spent good money on tix!

What kind of ass would say that on a day when so many of us are disspointed about not seeing them. Whoever you are going to see next I hope they cancel on your ass.

But with no refund.

Ass.

oh dude, since you seem to have the say, is it ok for me to hold a guitar ? i mean, i'm not very good, and i don't want to offend anyone....


do i have the right ??

i promise i won't touch my guitars again until you say it is ok !!

ps massive good vibes to meggsy, it must be harder to match the hype night after night and hope you never fuck up. i do believe another man with every right to be behind a kit, one bonzo bonham, had the same problem.
