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?Comment

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.Comment

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.”Comment

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.
