well... that sucks

Is that legal? I would be pissed...but yet again I would not be attending a Foreigner concert..

The Day The Rain Won

Fo RAIN er

"Early rain that also stopped caused the Dan Deacon, Deerhunter & No Age show in Brooklyn on Sunday to move inside. All Points West started late the same day."

And yet this show got cancelled outright with no refunds. Yet more proof that midwesterners are pussies.

I Wanna Know what MEH is

Hmm good deal for the venue...they cancel the show and get to pocket all the money. I should go into the concert business! Wonder how much Foreigner makes too! That really is "Cold as Ice"!

"We feel awful about it."

But you're not giving refunds... I guess you don't feel *that* bad, eh?

I don't think they can do that legally, but they'll get away with it

Great way to win new fans to the fair and band...bad PR move!

Unless there was some sort of notice given at time of purchase that there would be no refunds in case of cancellation this seems highly illegal. Even IF there was notice, it still seems fishy that they would be able to get away with this.

They can state no refunds all they want, but if someone sued them for a refund, they would most likely win. The problem is that it would cost way more to sue than the ticket price would be worth.

All the concert goers should band together and file a class action lawsuit against the promotor. Then there would be one lawsuit and everyone would get their money back.

If this is legal, and they get away with it, then it sets a very dangerous precedent.

What prevents promotors from doing this all the time? Anyone can collect money, not put on a show and keep the money.

"All the concert goers should band together and file a class action lawsuit against the promotor. Then there would be one lawsuit and everyone would get their money back."

bingo

I'd say the production company did the concertgoers a favor.

Standing in the rain
With his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket
It was a [CANCELED DUE TO RAIN] show...

Foreigner = Journey minus the classiness

That's obnoxiously greedy...I feel horrible for all the people attending that show. Then again, maybe that'll be their lesson for trying to see a burnt-out classic rock band perform in the year 2009. Oh well.

12:05 P.M. nicely played.

Sounds like a bunch of Head Games to me

this was actually the safe thing to do; the rain would've had a very negative impact on their long, flowing permed hair.

Not sure this is the fault of the fair when it comes to no refunds. I bet the band had some clause in their contract that stated they'd get paid no matter what.

forMEIGner

I don't know what they were charging for these tickets because the website of the 159th Preble County Fair is an absolute mess, but I did learn this:

According to their schedule of events, you could still do the following:

8AM: 4-H Club Cook-Off/Mystery Mixer
9AM: Jr. Fair Poultry Show
6PM: Drive-In Sheep Show

That sounds like a great load of entertainment for your hard-earned dollar. Who's gonna complain about a measly few dollars to see Foreigner? The Demolition Derby is the next night!

Seems like the powers of the Foreigner belt could have enabled the show to go on as planned.

"I don't need no instructions to know how to ROCK!"

head games

He had one guitar

Hey, is that from the '83 tour???

Yeeeaaahhh, I saw those guys at the Meadowlands with Brian Adams and it was a kick ass show!

I totally copped a feel on this passed-out broad when they was playin "Urgent"... every time I hear that song on the radio I think of that chick's boobs... covered in vomit.

Foreigner Belt!

not the first time people have paid money not to hear foreigner.

serves them well for paying to see shit

oh man, if this was AnCo this thread would be LIT THE FUCK UP.

3:00: WIN!

who here actually cares? it's fucking Foreigner. Just another excuse for all of you to bitch about something. (myself included obviously, bitching about your bitching)

Obviously, you care, bitch.

Juke Box Heroes? Not unless the band sticks up for the fans so that they get refunded. "Urgent, Urgent, EMERGENCY!"

what I want to know is..where is the post about steven tyler falling off stage..that thread would get loads of laughs

I'll go first...MEHroMEHith

Good evening Mr. Tyler..Going DOWN!

can you say credit card chargeback? not only do you get your money the promoter also gets a nice $20 ding for each case. teaches them a lesson. I have done that for every time ticketmaster or livenation pulled a stunt like this. minor clauses written on the ticket are worth just as much as the ticket has become- absolutely nothing.

Hahaa, that's almost as good as Bret Michaels getting crushed by the stage props

I've been waiting for BV to cover Foreigner

damn..thats cold ..as ice

Foreigner is the Foreigner of hair bands.

Also, I'd be willing to pay a yearly due not to hear them.

Seriously, wtf is up with all the Foreigner bashing? They rock!

That is a genuinely good song, and the video is quite well done. There's intelligible lyrics, an anthemic chorus, etc. Consider that this was a top 40 hit in its day; what current top 40 song can match it?
