Berlin Officially Cancelled

Positive spin, they can’t play the Berlin shows because they need to isolate for 5 days in London to stop the spread of the bug. All of them will be fit and well by Saturday 😃

How sick can he be if he’s drawing and posting on IG?! 

Maybe just trying to keep away from people?

Ticketmaster doesn’t refund the fees for the cancelled shows?

 But I don’t think it would be in good taste to be posting on IG considering the disruption and upset these cancellations cause.

Lol what

Just curious, how are the ticket sales for the remaining shows?

London sales were low/bad but Berlin also didn't sell that great. 

Ticket sales or lack thereof and sicknesses just a coincidence I guess

Sucks for all involved, no other way around it 

I was thinking about this earlier.

When Ed's voice went at the first of the two London o2 shows and the second night was cancelled, they rescheduled the second night for a few weeks later but the difference between then and now, is that the the gig was sold out. People have said a couple of page's back, that Springsteen rescheduled his shows but those shows had also sold well.

Could it be something to do with the promoters insurance, where they don't actually want to reschedule a show that has sold badly and it makes more sense for them financially, to take the insurance pay out and just let the poorly selling gig die a death completely? Obviously it would appear to be better for Ticketmaster, as they won't be paying any of their fees back to the fans, so they in effect, get an opportunity to earn another set of fees the next time the band actually do play in London or Berlin and if the shows had been rescheduled, then this wouldn't be case.

I'm not suggesting that this is the case, rather, I'm just wondering how much of an effect the poor ticket sales have had on any decision not to reschedule, if any at all?

Rescheduling not possible? Waldbühne and Wuhlheide both available after NOS Alive.

They don‘t want to. This European tour has done more damage to the fanbase than to Ed‘s voice. Everything was cursed and fucked up from the very beginning.

Didn't they clearly state in the London case that they had scheduling conflicts stopping them from rescheduling. What has arenas being available to do with that?

Tottenham probably has commitments. Even if availability doesn’t matter, why not postpone indefinitely or for 2025. Have a look how great Springsteen handeled things for the postponed European shows.

Last time they postponed shows for years, people got mad that the new dates weren’t being booked fast enough so it’s just easier to cancel

Theres no postponement for 2025 because there’s a good chance Europe won’t get PJ again until 2027/2028 based on how the band is operating now 

My point is: If they really wanted to make up for the mess they could change plans and come back next year playing anything they‘ve cancelled over the last few years.

But they don‘t care. I get it.

Because of the really bad treatment of us 10C members in 6 weeks my membership expires. I am not prepared anymore to pay for a membership where you get a possibility to buy expensive tickets for shows which will be cancelled and not postponed. 

I fully expect to see you here in 6 weeks.

Tenclub have been a godsend in many ways over the years of touring. To think people would cancel their memberships due to shows being cancelled through illness, or the dynamic pricing model that TM brought in is a bit extreme. Tenclub membership is worth every cent to me.
