Throughout COVID, many concerts had to be cancelled due to Provincial and Federal mandates.
As someone who had tickets to one of these concerts, I understood that it had to happen, but seeing that refund still didn’t feel good.
But, that was back when COVID was still hindering our social experiences. Today, that’s not as prevalent.
Now, there are some times when having to cancel a show is needed, like when Justin Bieber cancelled his show due to medical concerns.

Things like that happen and are justifiable.
Then there are things that happen like today where a band cancels a show for no apparent reason.

Now, one thing is that a cancelled show does require ticket holders to get a refund so no money is lost. But hearing that a show you’re looking forward to is cancelled doesn’t feel good.
Part of the cancellation hate with the Zac Brown concert is that he was just in Seattle yesterday performing that show as part of his tour. Another is that the band has cancelled silently, with the only news being a statement on the Ticketmaster site.
If you were looking forward to the concert, hopefully, you are able to find alternate plans.
