2008 NORTH AMERICAN 4TOUR SHOWS
9/13/2007 6:32:33 AM - by CURE:ROBERT
THIS SHOULD BE UP ALREADY AS THE MAIN NEWS ITEM... BUT NO-ONE IS THERE... AND I HAVE BEEN DENIED...

SO HERE IT IS!



13TH SEPTEMBER 2007
THE CURE ANNOUNCE RE-SCHEDULED 2008 NORTH AMERICAN 4TOUR SHOWS

AT LAST!
WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW 2008 DATES OF OUR POSTPONED NORTH AMERICAN 4TOUR.

EIGHTEEN OF THE NINETEEN PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED SHOWS HAVE BEEN RE-SCHEDULED IN THE ORIGINAL VENUES, AND ALL 2007 TICKETS WILL BE HONOURED FOR THESE NEW 2008 CONCERTS.

(THE ONLY ONE WE COULDN’T GET SWITCHED WAS SEATTLE… BUT INSTEAD OF NO CURE SHOW AT ALL, WE WILL BE CLOSING THE SASQUATCH! MUSIC FESTIVAL ON SUNDAY 25TH MAY (MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND) AT THE GORGE AMPHITHEATRE, WHERE WE HAVE BEEN GUARANTEED 150 MINUTES ONSTAGE! ALL TICKETS FOR THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED CURE KEY ARENA CONCERT WILL BE HONOURED AT THE GORGE, BUT PLEASE NOTE: ALL TICKETS FOR THE SASQUATCH! FESTIVAL ARE GENERAL ADMISSION, INCLUDING ANY PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CURE KEY ARENA TICKETS).

IT’S ALL HAPPENING SLIGHTLY LATER THAN WE EXPECTED DUE TO ‘THE PLAYOFFS’ â€" A LOT OF THE VENUES WE NEEDED WOULDN’T LET US CONFIRM DATES IN THE MARCH/APRIL PERIOD â€" BUT WE UNDERSTAND THEY ALL HAVE TO LIVE IN HOPE!

HOWEVER, AN UNEXPECTED BONUS OF THE NEW ROUTING IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADD IN KANSAS CITY, PHOENIX, AUSTIN, FT LAUDERDALE AND CLEVELAND… AND THERE WILL BE MORE DATES TO COME!

WE APOLOGIZE AGAIN FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND UPSET THE ORIGINAL POSTPONEMENT CAUSED, AND WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW SHOWS ARE MORE THAN WORTH THE WAIT…

SEE YOU ALL SOON,

LOVE ROBERT, SIMON, JASON AND PORL XXXX (THE CURE)

Some nice space between Boston and NYC. Not bad. Might be able to swing Philly as a long weekend. Too bad there were no closer dates added... Maybe I can sock some travel cash away.

Has anyone who sent their original tickets back for a refund actually seen the money yet?
I have an extra set of tickets for Atlanta, and since we only have until November 1 to get refunds, I need to decide what to do with them. I'm leaning toward refunding them since trying to sell them to another fan is probably not going to work--who's going to buy them 8-9 months before the show??--but I'm wondering how long and complicated the refund process is with Ticketmaster.

Any idea as to when the tickets go back on sale?

Had the initial dates not been cancelled, I was going to buy some Philly tix from craigslist or ebay if it turned out I could make it (find someone who couldn't make it, and buy them). That option is out, however, as I don't want to buy someone's hard tickets, only to find out at the door that they received a refund for them, leaving me with some expensive + useless bits of paper.

I got the money back on my credit card within a week of sending the tickets back.  Just make sure you send them via certified mail with insurance to cover yourself.

Only a week? Good to know! I'll definitely send this pair back then, unless anyone here wants 2 F3 seats for Atlanta, that is. ;)

Some dates are already back on sale on Ticketmaster.

Post by: rjl on September 14, 2007, 00:25:57
Oh, you have to physically send them back? I wasn't sure, as every other postponed/cancelled/refunded show I've had tickets for result in either an automatic chargeback, or me calling and getting a refund instead of going to the new date.

That makes me feel a bit safer buying someone's hard tickets then.

I heard somewhat recently about someone getting burned for Morrissey tickets at the recent Boston makeup date. We were afraid that ours, which we bought the day before the show, would show up as null and void at the gate, a refund having been issued. Luckily, that was not the case.

These dates are looking alright.  8)

WED      21 MAY   DENVER, CO      Red Rocks
FRI      23 MAY   SALT LAKE CITY, UT   E Center
SUN      25 MAY   GEORGE, WA       The Gorge
MON      26 MAY   VANCOUVER, BC      General Motors Place
THU      29 MAY   SANTA BARBARA, CA   Santa Barbara Bowl
SAT      31 MAY   LOS ANGELES, CA      Hollywood Bowl
TUE      03 JUN   SAN DIEGO, CA      Cox Arena

I decided to add SLC to my original plan.  Mixed feeling about The Gorge show replacing Seattle for several reasons.  Also, lots of gaps.  Maybe an additional show in the SF Bay area?  I doubt Portland will get a show due to the Seattle show moving to The Gorge and there being a Vancouver show.  Still, anything could happen.  Not sure how much driving, flying I'll do just yet.  And I certainly won't book anything this far in advance.

It all depends...my Dallas ticket was automatically refunded, even though I didn't ask for it to be.  The rest I had to send in.  This is all with hard tickets.  With ticket fast or will call, a phone call or email is all it takes.

As I said in "Robert Smith: "European dates will run from february 9th to march 20th"",
I will be glad to meet you Jeff if you can come to Paris, if not perhaps which I will come to London!!!

Here's what I am looking at (subject to change):

SAT      09 MAY   FAIRFAX, VA       Patriot Center
SUN      10 MAY   PHILADELPHIA, PA   Wachovia Spectrum
FRI      06 JUN   DALLAS, TX      American Airlines Center
SUN      08 JUN   AUSTIN, TX      Austin Music Hall
MON      09 JUN   HOUSTON, TX       Toyota Center
FRI      20 JUN   NEW YORK CITY, NY    Madison Square Garden

I'm sure I'll through 1 or 2 more US dates in there.  Maybe Atlanta or Fort Lauderdale.  My grandmom lives about an hour north of Ft. Lauderdale, so I can use that as an excuse to head down there....

Also, the way the schedule is, I'll be bracketing the US dates.  I'll be at the first and the last show.
