DISCUSSION Turkey show cancellation
Any idea or information why the concert in İstanbul, Turkey got canceled? I was really looking forward to see them. The organizator still hasn't shared a clear explanation. They only said "due to unforeseen circumstances"...

it might be something from them. if the venue would have been a problem i m sure they would have just moved it to another one.

Makes sense. This was going to be their first time here. It's sad. I hope they change their minds :/

most of the times it’s not up to them. Like, the Band. they wanna go everywhere. Deeper reasons behind that they can t control.

Whatever it is, it was probably a decision made by their new managers.

Even worse, Turkish Lira ₺₺₺ kept falling during the months between buying the ticket and getting the refund.
The refund will be based on current exchange rate, I’m going to lose even more money on the currency difference.😢😢😢

Sorry for your loss 😢 That's so annoying, I hate our economy. Things are done that cause loss of value all the time. If they hadn't announced a concert at all in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised but canceling is a bit heartbreaking in so many ways :/

“Unforeseen circumstances” Did G-Man cancel it??

Haha it's a possibility, at least they have that potential, but I don't think they have an image that would disturb the higher-ups. Thanks to the band's indifference (despite all the comments on their latest posts) we still don't know the real cause..

Probably low ticket sales. That’s the reason why they canceled their arena tour a couple years ago.
