poor ticket sales. That is depressing.

[thegreatescape1]

I thought this tour would draw in some good ticket sales

[moonlights]

the show here got cancelled due to lack of ticket sales.

now i have to go figure out how the hell to get my money back

[mrzippo3]

Fenix TX probably just wanted a few extra days to get tanked

[TimeAsIdeology]

What an awful lineup.

[OveriseFan]

What an awful lineup.

Not for fans of Fenix TX, AND for fans of pop-punk.

Houston Calls are possibly my favorite pop-punk band EVER. Super talented, especially lyrically... Fenix TX are classics. as well as Allister. Day at the Fair are pretty good too. Some catchy shit.

[SpaRta06]

to be honest I wouldnt be all that excited to go this tour either.. Fenix was good back when and the other bands just arent that great for support? Thats just me.

[TimeAsIdeology]

I love pop punk, and I still think this is a shitty fucking lineup.

[surfwaxsideshow]

I've been waiting for Fenix Tx to come for so long and the lineup was bad enough that I didn't go. Allister fucking blows.

[TheWoj]

i enjoy all the bands except for Allister, even though their new stuff is supposed to be pretty good.

but the fact that its been moved to the magic stick is phenominal because its so small, i'll get a chance to meet the guys.

[ReturningSunday]

thank god. this show was the same day as the 89x christmas show with FOB, coheed, rise against, OLP, mcs and 311

[The Revisionist]

I was gonna say, ticket sales must be small for it to have been moved from St. Andrews to the Stick.

I won't be there, regardless.

[scareric]

waaaaah... i dont have a sense of humor.

[motivatedchange]

I went to two nights of this tour, San Francisco and Orangevale, and the crowds at both shows weren't amazing. Not empty by a long shot, but definitely not what anyone expected.

Very depressing.

[GreenDayIdiot]

i'm excited for this tour when it comes to my town, but i'm kinda worried after hearing about fenix tx just getting tanked everynight

[quickandsilver]

What About Fenix Tx In Cleveland At The Grog Shop December 5th?!?!?!?!

[WSUskee]

Yeah this tour has been a disaster to say the least. Tickets sales are lacking and Fenix TX has missed a handful of shows. I thought this tour would be big but the Seattle date has only sold 250 at a venue that holds over 500.

[chcougar1]

WOW...poor ticket sales...what does that mean? I saw the Spill Canvas and Copeland and there 100 people there...the sales couldnt have been worse than that

[thebestkylever]

eh, i hope they can keep this tour goin at least until they get to chicago. i love all 4 bands.

[nufan475]

Thats fucked up that they cancel a show cause of poor ticket sales, i love all the bands on this tour and i think regardless of how many tickets they sell they should still play the show! Wether its to 8 or 800 people it shouldn't matter.

[tommyhaych]

I feel sorry for anyone who booked the 1st off work.. haha.

In other news... I would kill to see this gig.

[Salomonbz90]

Problem..December 5th. Fenix TX is already scheduled to play in Cleveland...which is a make up show for another one they cancelled. Good luck trying to pull this one off.

[nufan475]

I'll second that

[AndrewC12]

I'd love to see this tour, it'd probably sell out in the UK. Somebody get Houston Calls over here asap!

[theROUSE]

got tickets to this date the day they came out thinking they would sell out in no time..., how sad..., the stick sucks...

I went to 5 shows, Tempe, Tucson, San Diego, Anaheim, and L.A. and nobody was "tanked". I think this has been over-hyped. I'm not saying that won't happen on occassion, but it's the exception and not the rule. In fact, I think the Anaheim HOB show was probably the best Fenix Tx show ever. Maybe that's because there were about 500-600 people there. The crowd has a huge influence on how a band plays.

As for the cancelations, bands do not cancel entire shows. They may miss a show for any number of reasons, but shows are usually cancelled by the promoter. So don't get on the bands for that.

[LostSymphonies]

terrible name for a tour..

[chitty]

just to clear up any misconceptions about the cancellations of the past few days - the shows were cancelled by the promoter, and NOT by the bands. i was dying to play those shows. we were just told the shows were cancelled. as for the size of the shows - i'm ecstatic to play any of these shows, every show is wayyyy bigger than we'd get to play were it just us playing so i'm just loving it all. everyone who has come out to the shows have been so supportive and bad ass. so that's the jazz
