This show has been cancelled....

STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY - The March 26th Van Halen concert at the Bryce Jordan Center has been cancelled. The information was released by the BJC today; no reason for the cancellation was given.
Refunds are available at the point of purchase. Tickets purchased via the internet and charge by phone will be automatically credited to your credit card.
A spokesman for the BJC apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused fans.
Anyone hear why yet? I've seen rumors on a Penn State that the Westboro Baptist idiots were going to protest the show and Penn State didn't want to hire the extra security detail for the BJC. Is this true?
Low ticket sales...
Van Halen concert at Bryce Jordan Center canceled, fans disappointed
Mike Hricik
Collegian Staff Writer
State College area fans of legendary rock band Van Halen will have to go elsewhere to hear hits like “Jump” and “Runnin’ with the Devil” for the group’s North American tour this year.
A concert featuring Van Halen originally scheduled for Monday, March 26 at the Bryce Jordan Center has been canceled.
Bernie Punt, sales and marketing director for the BJC, declined to provide a reason for the cancellation but said it was not the venue’s decision.
Opening act Kool and the Gang would have joined Van Halen for the show.
Tickets purchased with a credit card through Ticketmaster, the BJC, Eisenhower Auditorium, the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center or Penn State Altoona will be automatically refunded to those credit cards, Punt wrote in an email.
Only 116 students had purchased tickets through credit card before the cancellation, he wrote.
Tickets bought with cash, check or Lion Cash will need to be returned to the BJC box office for processing, either in person or through the mail, Punt wrote.
Ticket holders can return their tickets via mail to Van Halen Refunds, Bryce Jordan Ticket Office, 240 Bryce Jordan Center, University Park, PA 16802.
Refund requests will be processed and a check will be mailed for the original amount, he wrote.
This process could take 10 to 14 days as refunds are sent through the mail.
The tour stop would have promoted “A Different Kind of Truth,” Van Halen’s newly released album featuring David Lee Roth on his first recording with the group since the best-selling “1984.”
Sam August bought tickets for the concert the day they went on sale with his friend after stopping and seeing Van Halen’s tour date flash on the electronic sign outside the BJC.
August (sophomore-English) said that he expects low ticket sales were to blame for the cancellation, indicating the “anti-rock” musical interests of Penn State students.
“Avicii and Dayglow will sell out in like an hour, but Van Halen gets cancelled,” he said. “It sucks for the fans.”
He said people may have also bought tickets to Van Halen’s tour dates in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which were announced before the University Park appearance.
Brett Corl said he’s disappointed that the BJC will be deprived of hard rock this semester.
“College students like when the BJC brings a rapper who’s been popular for six weeks,” Corl (junior-engineering science) said. “That’s part of the reason we never get any really big rock acts.”
My karma just ran over your dogma.
Well fuck.
I just got a Live Nation email for Madonnas tickets (Los Angeles) going on sale Saturday.. HER SHOW ISN'T UNTIL OCTOBER!
Van Halen comes out in January with some info and secret show. Few weeks later the album comes out. And nearly instant concerts will begin.
October is too long. 3 weeks is too short. I remember the days of buying tickets & having to stare at them for what? 10-12 weeks?
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
Now that a replacement date for PSU has been announced in Reading, PA for the same night, I edited this thread...
This is basically a second Philadelphia show, Reading is only 60 miles from Philly....
Big news for Reading as Van Halen has just announced March 26 as the date they (and Kool and The Gang) will be at the Sovereign Center touting their new album. With the good news came some bad as they also announced the cancellation of their show at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College. Sucks to be a Van Halen fan in state College.

Yeah, but only a capacity of 7,000....
Intimate, to say the least....
oo my feelings are hurt. Tito get me a tissue
mellow WARF at the Roth Army? What's the world coming to?
I'm from there. Should I start?
The people drive so slowly you have to tap on the windows and take their pulse to see if rigor mortis has set in.
Van Halen may have had tough sales but when the fuckin Mummers parade comes to town the people stain their drawers.
I got out but I did go back years later and caught Roth at the Silo.
He was respectful to Eddie when the crowd chanted Eddie sucks, he diffused them quickly.
class act, that one.

On a serious note I hate to see low VH ticket sales anywhere.
Any interesting places around the arena for drinks where I won't be knifed by a crackwhore? From what I've heard downtown Reading resembles the Escape from NY set.
Just ask your cab driver on the way to the show.

Need to use the Amish form of Twitter... Horse delivered notes of 140 characters or less
"I wanna take this time to say that this is real whiskey here... the only people who put iced tea in Jack Daniel's bottles is The Clash, baby!"
Shit - just realized - if it's in Amish country, there won't be any pix or video....
They'll represent the photos in handsewn quilts - should be available by next year and cost about 1000 bucks.
