Tour Gaps And Additional Dates

[Angel]

My conversation with the sponsoring radio station:
Z99: The BIG announcement will now be heard at 11 am with Cassity

Angel: The BIG, not so secret anymore one?

Z99 Shhhhhhhh! -- Buzz

Angel: LMAO. I'll shhhhhh... but I can't guarantee others won't stupidly put something on the internet first.

WTF is going on in this stupid fucking city? It's on the local news last night...it's in the local newspaper...Radio stations announce this morning that Nickleshit is going to Saskatoon, and the VH May 15 date in Regina is GONE FROM TICKETMASTER! Would someone please tell me what's going on here? FOR FUCKS SAKE THIS CITY SUCKS SHIT!!!! NO WONDER NO ONE EVER COMES HERE!!!!!

[DFVH5150]

Obviously there's going to be more dates...right?

Sorry about the wrong forum thing, Chef:

It doesn’t technically say “more dates soon” or anything of that nature on the official site or press release, and by the way people (like in Utah) are talking they think these are the only tour dates for the entire tour. That can’t be the case. Am I right? Does anyone know the answer? I’m sure I speak for the vast majority of people here who are going to multiple shows (and preferably would like to spread them out) when I say we need to know either way soon! I don’t need to know “when” they would be coming to Ohio, but at least know that they are at some point.

At least going by larger cities (I just went by cities with sports teams), here’s who’s missing:

Newark/East Rutherford, Baltimore, Miami, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco.

Granted, some of those are close enough (St. Paul/Minneapolis, Oakland-San Jose/San Francisco), but that’s still pretty weird. Not to mention how fucked you are if you live in any of the states west of the Mississippi outside of CA, AZ, TX, MO, CO, or WA. What about that huge part of the country with the Dakotas, Montana, Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, etc.? And they couldn’t possibly be skipping ALL of Ohio.

Plus the 45-city-factor. Here’s a list of all their tours since the ‘90s and how many dates were scheduled.

’91-’92 F*CK: 99
’93 LRHRN: 63
’95 BAL 131
’98 VH3: 95
’04 TBOBW: 86
’07-’08 Reunion: 79
’12 ADKOT: 45?????

Thank God Pittsburgh’s on there…

If anyone knows for sure or at least has a pretty good idea of the answer, please respond. Thank you.

I would be shocked if additional cities aren't squeezed into open dates between shows - traditionally, this is the way it's always been done.

Addiitonal cities/dates are almost always added if the demand is there.

My advice to those in cities like Salt Lake City and Cleveland is this: remain patient - it's only a matter of time before dates in those cities are added.

Just for the record to the mods, I posted this as a new one because I was referring to a whole new leg of the tour, not squeezing in a couple cities in Canada which is what this thread was all about. Guess I could’ve just piggy-backed it in hindsight. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

there was a "more dates TBA" or similar on the Live Nation VH page, this was posted where the early April gap is. i can't find it now, but i saw it Monday.

[DFVH5150]

TBA--good to know. I don't think they've ever missed Cleveland since '78, so I'm sure they'll be there.

[twonabomber]

i know they came through multiple times during the Van Hagar years, and Dave was here twice on Skyscraper. i think they'll make it. hopefully not at Blossom, but if i gotta drive there i will.

Just a reminder that when the news first broke, they said they would be announcing "the first leg" of the tour. I'm sure there are more to come...

Looks like Ticketmaster is either leaking info early, or royally fucking up, whichever way you want to look at it. They had dates posted for St. Louis as well.

Van Halen Has No Confirmed Shows at the Scottrade Center, Despite Reports Otherwise

Van Halen fans disappointed the band's spring 2012 tour did not include a St. Louis stop saw a glimmer of hope this morning when Ticketmaster posted information about an April 29th date at the Scottrade Center and the Post-Dispatch reported the show.
But there was cause for skepticism -- no mention of the show in anywhere through the band or the venue. We contacted the Scottrade Center, and a representative has verified that there is currently no Van Halen shows confirmed at the venue for this year.

So either there is an announcement coming and Ticketmaster slipped the information out early or there was simply a glitch somewhere and bad information went public. We've reached out to the vendor and will update with more information as we get it.

The mystery grows...

First leg sounds good , american leg of the world tour sounds better

[Jagermeister]

Umm. Ticketbastards still has a st.louis show listed. Apr 29th.

[SNIPER]

I have 1,600 bucks set aside for my VH tour fund. I sure hope they get some north west dates added or I will have to use some for travel costs.

My bad, I assumed they'd taken it down the same time as they did the Regina listing. However, there is still no official confirmation of the St. Louis show that I can find, and the only place you see it listed is on the TM site. Who knows what may be going on??

[Sensible Shoes]

Well it was bullshit. I got much worse seats than were available last night on the Amex presale. Very disappointed.
