I applaud your reading comprehension skills good sir.

I agree, mr_chip. The fillmore totally sucks compared to Red Rocks. I also found out that I could have saved about $40 per ticket getting the Underworld/Chemical Brothers combo tickets instead of buying them separately. So not only am I getting fucked by the venue change, I'm getting fucked by the new combo ticket that they won't let me get.

$40 x 3 tickets = $120 I'm getting outright fucked on, plus the fact that they're both at the crappy Fillmore. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Live Nation, Ticketmaster, fuck you all (especially the latter, but the performers have to take some responsibility for performing where they promised and not fucking over their audience).

-and, yes, I just received an un-retracted Ticketfucker Alert:

still doesn't change my point, does it?

Okay, so maybe I'm a little hasty getting mad at the band, but the disappointment in this news is pretty big.

If you're interested in sending out an executive e-mail carpet bomb, here's the list of every address I can find so far for livenation (who appear to be the promoters) and the even remotely possibly applicable addresses from the Friends of Underworld section of the underworldlive site:

inquire@chaotica.com
underworld@thesundayclub.com
press@underworldlive.com
jukes@easynet.co.uk
sales@underworldlive.com
johnvlautin@livenation.com
BusinessIntegrity@LiveNation.com
michaelrapino@livenation.com
alanridgeway@livenation.com
michaelgrowles@livenation.com
thomasjohansson@livenation.com
carlpernow@livenation.com
bryanperez@livenation.com
davidian@livenation.com
leeanngliha@livenation.com

You're much more likely to get results (either a discount on your ticket or an official apology, or some kind of renumeration) by sending a politely worded e-mail to these addresses, than you are by dealing with livenation's crummy RightNow customer service website. This list includes the e-mail addresses of all executive staff at LiveNation, CEOs and Presidents.

Here's the Google Finance chat board for LYN, LiveNation's public trading ticker:

Here's the Yahoo Finance chat board for the same:
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/mb/LYV

If you post intelligently on their financial boards about how they're not able to sell enough tickets to make their commitments to bands or fans, thus lowering their status in the eyes of both, you'll definitely hit them where it hurts. You'll probably also catch the attention of their Investor Relations people, who will definitely be watching those boards, and who will definitely be interested in making it right for you.

Happy hunting.

i can't put the blame on rick, karl et al.. they aren't the ones doing the bookings.

that said though.... this is a serious disappointment to a LOT of people. and no price refund or any consideration whatsoever to those of us who bought much more expensive tickets? that's terrible.

there's no inclement weather forecast for tuesday, and if the band was having trouble selling seats, the promoters/etc would have known that months ago. and it's not like this is a comparable venue - it's apples and oranges. waiting until 2 days before the gig to announce such a significant venue change is extremely poor form.

I agree with Mr Chip, for the reasons previously stated. This is a HUGE let down, with NO apparent good reason.
Ticket sales maybe?
I'm praying this isn't about money ...
I spent a lot to see Underworld at Red Rocks.

[Professor]

according to the redrocks website, it HAS been moved. fuck that. i made explicit plans to see them and they fucked me. it's the week of my wedding and the ONLY reason i was flying from seattle was because it was at redrocks and the price was right. fuck this shit.

[ndrwrld]

that totally sucks.
im sure UW are a bit bummed ( or they should be )...such a beautiful serene venue, yanked, for an auditorium.
bleh.
sorry to all who are attending.

ps - dont hate too long...IT WASNT CANCELLED...theyre still playing Denver.
check my location for my sadness.

Hey all,

Yeah, I had posted about this recently too - I think we should just be glad either way that they're still playing, I was worried that it was being cancelled when I saw the email.
