If a Hip concert is sacrificed so saggy titted hockey moms can get drunk, then I'll be fairly pissed.
What country show is this? There isn't anything listed for the 11th on the Harbour Station website.
Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift... its on pollstar.

I just called the Harbour Station box office and they confirmed that the show has been cancelled. Ticket refunds were done this morning for those who purchased with credit card.

They told me that it was cancelled by the promoter, and it was not the choice of Harbour Station or due to ticket sales, as they were on par with what they expected for the show.

It took the Zoo show almost two weeks to be listed as cancelled on thehip.com.

Here's hoping another maritime date emerges soon that my dad can go to with me. I was pumped to take my dad to his first hip show! Unfortunately, freddy doesn't work for him.
I'd do anything for this show to still be on.

Check out the thread entitled 'Halifax possibly cancelled'... or something along those lines.

This really is not cool at all. I had fourth row seats for SJ and there is crap left for Freddy and Halifax. With rumours of Halifax being cancelled as well....something must be up. I hope they make it up to us with an outdoor show or smaller venues or something.
The only shows planned outdoors for the Maritimes this summer is Aerosmith on PEI, Faith Hill/Tim McGraw in Moncton and and Nicleback/Staind crap show in PEI. Do you thing they could be added to these bills?

I hear ya! I had 3rd row centre tickets on the Floor. Best tickets of the three shows that I was seeing. It's starting to sound like the this cancellation may be a one off thing as apparently another Maritime date will be added and announced soon. The new show wherever it occurs will not take place in New Brunswick. The band and/or it's management appear to have something against Moncton. I know Moncton would have been a strong supporter of a Hip show there. Here is an article that I found in today's Moncton paper:

I plan on calling the Metro Centre box office today regarding the status of the show there. I think this site is the only place where I heard of a possible Halifax cancellation.
