I’m wondering if maybe the relevance of the March 3 in the note that person got from TM is that it is the announcement date. Who knows.

What is the chance that the renovation would be at a stage in May that it would be possible to have a show, but because of construction that ADA compliance would not be possible? Ie elevators and ramps. That might explain refunding the ADA seats but not other ones. No idea if that is what is going on and would probably result in lawsuits, but it did cross my mind as I have been reading this.

I'm pretty sure you need to comply with ADA rules during all phases of construction. I work in highway construction, and we need to maintain ADA compliant pedestrian routes at all times.

I had that thought, maybe the current refund window stops then and a new one opens when the new dates are announced

In the past it seemed we would hear a rumor here and there from someone who knew someone from a venue in the weeks leading up to an announcement. Other than the Baltimore cancellation rumors really haven’t heard other rumors. So probably announcement not imminent.

It would sort of make sense. It’d be after the EV tour, and even a bit of time for them to evaluate how it went if they are using it to test the waters, not to mention see what the virus is up to a month from now. And it would still be at least 8 weeks before May which is generally enough time to make plans.

That said, if Baltimore is getting cancelled, there’s no excuse to delay that notice and those refunds. (I do not hold a Bal ticket but it seems so bad the way that is being done.)

Unless it is indeed they are finding another venue and giving existing ticket holders a chance for those tickets.

Which could be communicated. Nothing needs to be promised, just acknowledge the situation.

"Unfortunately, due to a renovation at Royal Farms Arena, the show originally scheduled there on 3/15/2020 will not be taking place. We are currently looking at options for replacement venues and hope to have more information for you soon."

At this point I think we would all settle for an announcement on when the announcement will be. I still gotta believe this tour is booked, the hold up only being the typical concert announcement/ticket sales contract rules/red tape. Given what we know about Covid now and the way Covid tapered off last spring/early summer before coming back end of summer and fall, can't see a covid concern being a hold up, May/June is the best time to get this thing done.

What a way to start the EV tour with some great hype by announcing those dates today. Would create a huge buzz.

I agree 100 percent. Give everyone who has held out a much needed boost.

RatherStarved · February 2022

I’ve been reaching out to a few arenas to see if I can find anything out. So far nothing. One place said they don’t have a date yet. It’s possible there is a date which hasn’t been shared with the the representative but if there truly is no date then it will be a while before an announcement.

huntersthompson · February 2022

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

No way Canada is in May so maybe the date is not set yet. I am hoping it all gets announced at once and soon but maybe the fall is "pencilled" in at the moment and we wont hear about that until July.

If there are ballparks in the plan they are going to want to announce asap.

Lady Gaga ever announce her Fenway date? Asking for a friend...

seeing how Scotiabank and Videotron are filling up that first week of may with other concerts, I'm starting to agree on Canada getting pushed back a bit. Still possible to squeeze it in, but be tight.

Well, at least everyone who wants to go should have no problem getting some great seats for the May shows

Nope, but she did announce more Vegas shows in April. Got a Little Monster presale code if you your friend needs it.

I've tried the same thing and I'm getting the same types of responses
