Most people did everything right and had lives and livelihoods shattered to try to stop this pandemic, and now they are being told, "Sorry, you still can't try to rebuild your life because now you have to protect Joe Fuckface down the street who won't get a vaccine. And oh by the way, Joe Fuckface is now spreading around mutant strains so he'll probably get you sick now anyway even though you are vaccinated." It's the adult version of the teacher punishing the whole class for one student doing something bad. 12 minutes ago, Chin for a Day said: I just got an email from Ticketmaster that you can request a refund for Citifield since FOB is not performing Ok now do a partial refund for those of us still going but only getting 2/3 of the product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoywhatsername Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 They really messed this up. Announcing a refund like that so last minute is wild to me. I’m glad they are giving it out but way to wait til the last possible moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Me an hour ago: hehe FOB cancelled Me now: realizing I have a ticket to see Green Day at a festival so the chance I get a refund if they cancel last minute due to covid is zero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2klightyrsaway Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 If they're committed to having the tour this year, it seems like the best thing to have done is postpone these dates and tack them onto the end of the tour in September. I guess that wasn't possible due to the stages likely having been built already (or at least in the process) and because of possible schedule conflicts with the baseball teams. On a side note, it is time for Green Day to end the shtick of bringing fans up on stage. I know crowds love it but right now it is not worth it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly yeah, it’s all fun and games and $200 some of us are never going to see again, until someone actually gets sick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Green Day is still the main draw, but reducing the product for the same price is robbery. We shouldn't have to compensate for their problems. Also waiting an hour between sets is extremely dumb. Green Day MUST see that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I just feel so bad for the fans. I was upset about missing 2 songs. Now they’re missing the whole set. Wow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they must, because it's embarrassing beyond words for them, but what can they do? They're tied to a management company that currently controls almost every aspect of the band. If they spoke out about how farcical the whole tour is, then what would happen to them? Perhaps a big lawsuit.

Wow. I know it doesn’t work this way, but I kind of feel bad for trashing FOB/this tour so much on here because now I feel for ppl who must be incredibly disappointed, all the more so that FOB fans paid a lot to see an already pretty short set and now it got scrapped completely. 10 minutes ago, DookieLukie said: Maybe not.

meowlissa Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Are you all serious? They're compensating for FOB not performing by increasing wait times between sets? I'd much rather just go home (or to a bar) early! That is really frustrating. For those who are interested, we haven't received any information yet about refunds for Fenway.

Well, they chose to sign a contract with this company and I can’t imagine they’d give up the level of control they had under their previous deal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I may be in the minority here (pun not really intended) but I feel like Knowledge should have went out with King for a Day. It's not a great song, and there plenty of better old-punk stuff they could play to get the kids into the old stuff. A good ole' fashion Crimpshrine cover should do the trick. Billie, make this happen. Thanks. Crimpshrine rule! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm not sure why I'm even going to this tour but I feel compelled to shell my money at them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
