    It's this simple, If you bought tix to tonights show and can't make it, YOU WILL BE GETTING A REFUND, STRAIGHT OUT OF MY POCKET. I've never ripped any of my fans off, EVER!!! I have also NEVER missed a show. I know there are people who drove here from Memphis and Oklahoma, been in there cars all day driving and dealing with this shitty weather, the same as me and my band have the WHOLE TOUR. You so called "fans" on my website bitchin and moanin and saying i'm greedy, can GO FUCK YOURSELVES, plain and simple. Throw out my cd's and lose my number, I don't want drama kings and queens like yall anywhere around myself, band, crew, family or my fans.

    Thank you to the real fans who not only understand my situation but defended me. It's not easy to tour in these conditions and also be stuck on the road with a teenage son at home and in high school. I make alot of money, no question, but i've never ripped anyone off to do it. I have sacraficed alot to live this dream and play music for all of you, i wouldn't trade it for the world, but the fact remains. To the people who made it too tonights show, I WON'T LET YOU DOWN. Now, time to make a set list and get ready to ROCK. Hope everyone traveling gets here safe!! Kid Rock (straight from the dressing room!)

Excellent summary Kid I concer with what your saying you can not controll the weather or circumstances these are considered acts of God and no one can controll that. The fact that your giving refunds outta your pocket shows integerty and stand up character so in my eyes not only are you an excellent entertainer but you are also a man of good character and consideration. I was unable to attend your show today due to the weather and I know this isnt your fault it is due to a choice I made that concerns me and my rathers. I have heard folks crying about not making the show and saying that you should have canceled Well brother they are wrong ! You held up your end of the bargin under more diffcult circumstances than they had to over come and from what I heard put on one hell of a show for your fans. Some folks are just haters and if they aren't dumping on you they would be dumpin on someone else ! As for me I appreciate what you went thru to make this show happen and I want to appoligize to you for the small minded Haters that live in Ar. Party on my Brother with the top laid back and the sunshine shinning or snowing =) Sincerly Don.

you're amazing Kid Rock I was at your wichita show, and I love you!!! EFF all the haters and complainers, I am surprised and forever grateful that you even made it considering you were coming from TN and no flights were allowed in ICT earlier that day, and the whole day was bad weather. That right there shows your loyalty to your fans, you have heart!!! I hope to see you in this area again soon and yes I'll be there~~~!!!

You made it to Wichita (yee haw!).....so....the band was a little late, i can honestly say that they were missed but what the hell....i may not have any 'fans' but ive disappointed my fair share of people that matter to me and it doesnt feel good to do that----ALTHOUGH WE ALL HAVE AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER!! in my little corner of the world....Kid Rock is like ....like a part of the family, as well are his band members so just the fact that they made it to wichita after all the fucked up weather, SAFELY....and not too stressed or pissed off to come on out and perform ...meant the world to me and my friends. if ya all hadnt of been able to make it because of weather....i guess i would of given you the benefit of the doubt and looked forward to the make up date or something. pissy ass whiners prolly shouldnt be out after dark anyway. maybe they oughta stick to disney movies, koolaid and sittin on mommys lap....or RUN OFF TO L.A.!!! Get off The Kids ass....its reserved for those of us still hoping to get the chance to kiss it!!! (THAT WOULD BE EPIC!) LOVE YA KID!

OH BY THE WAY................... Fuck those that don't understand that you cannot control mother nature. The idiot's that think otherwise are just that, IDIOTS. Yes it would be a BIG disappointment to not be able to see you and your entire talented band but sometimes life is filled with disappiintments. You are the king of rock and you can control that but.... you can't control the weather. Sorry you have to be away from your son so much! I work out of town and have to be away from my family alot and that sucks so I do SYMPATHIZE with you concerning that! I really just got back on line just to say what a SEXY pic of YOU!!!!! OOOOOOHHHHHHLLLLAAAALLLLAAAA!

bobby you've kept your ticket prices down since i've been seein' u in concert which has been a few years know. You put on a hell of a show for 30 some bucks. Even after you made it big you've kept your ticket prices down as low as possible. and look at what you do for us at the D, you sell out in 3 minutes and put on a 2nd or 3rd show for us. Heck you even played little ol' Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek. And for you to do this for your fans, when they know this weather has been screwing' with everybody just shows what an American Bad Ass you are. And now i am sitting her bummed i'm missing you in concert. drive safely to you and your fans.

I didn't make it but heard it was AMAZING!! Thanks for rocking it out for those that were able to make it!! I hope you come back, but understand if you don't because of the horrible hospitality that you have gotten here in Arkansas!! Travel safe for the rest of your tour!!

It's refreshing to see that you actually have the time to live a normal life from time to time:-) With your busy schedule and having to spend alot of time fighting the women off you actually get the time to get on line and relax on a couch. Good for you Bobby! ONE OF YOUR MILLION VERY DEDICATED fans!

You are only human. You can't please everyone all the time. And, some people just need to learn some respect. I wouldn't worry so much about the drama.

I love it. too bad we couldn't make it. There just was to many accidents for us to take the chance on getting out.I know there are some of us that really really really appreciates you doing what you are doing and giving refunds out of your own pocket. That shows just what kind of person you really are and it shows that you do understand and care about your fans. I wish you could reschedule to come back to arkansas real soon, cause I know that we would order tickets again. Thanks for being you.:)

Unbelievable. You risked your life landing in Wichita Kansas in a blizzard Feb 2, Showed up, rocked with Jamey's band till your band arrived after driving in the blizzard for 24 hours. You gave us a total of 3 frickin hours of pure Kid Rock. Now that is dedication to your fans, Who hell is complaining! I personally along with many others drove from Hutchinson to see you in the blizzard and would not have missed it for anything. Thank you!

Hey Look I am a fan and your right to tell it like it is, but on the other hand no need to get upset about someone's opinion. Yeah, i know it can be difficult to read and see others with their way of thinking, but remember it's just their opinion. So, let them speak their right of speech and you my friend, wave your own way of fame of the red, white, and blue...xoxoxo p.s. you look sweet in your green bay packers gear but I was born and raised as Pittsburgh Steeler's fan!!! you cheese head (im sticking my tongue out at you) Good game and congratulations on the super bowl...i'll meet you someday soon. c ya, Patricia Pittsburgh

You tell'em KID!!! Driving and being on the road is no joke in shitty weather like that! I know, my Husband is a truck driver and it is very dangerous, people think that it's a game! Come on people stop bitchin I rather see him and the crew alive wouldnt you?!! Give him a brake! And by the way he's not greedy the ones who are bitchin are the greedy ones!I agree with you Lisa Adams I wish I knew you girl before bc I had two extra tix for Greenville SC! We love you Kid!!!

You know what? It's not HIS responsibility to reimburse anyone for tickets if they can't get to a show, plain and simple. The airline doesn't refund you for bad weather, you buy trip insurance! The tickets say right on them they are not responsible for anything once they are in your hands unless HE has to cancel, which he did not. Shit happens people. For you "fans" that have given him shit, you are pathetic. This guy is the ONLY one out there who's tickets remain under 50.00 at every fucking show he has and you have the balls to bitch because mother nature ruined your night? HE made it - so did plenty of other people, you could have too. If you were coming from out of state, you should have came early and spent the night. You do have access to weather reports do you not? Common sense tells me if I have to drive somewhere ten to twenty hours to get there and travel through states which I have done COUNTLESS times to see Kid, you make SURE your ass is there with plenty of time and if you don't, shame on you. I guarantee you NO other musician would offer to fork out their own cash to reimburse a bunch of whiny piss ants. Go fuck yourself is right! AMEN to that one Bob! Keep on rocking - if it's real - you'll feel it ; )

Kid Rock does not control the weather. He showed up to do what we paid him to do. I am broken hearted that I couldn't make it there, but stop bad mouthing him and Verizon Arena. He is an awesome performer and there will be other concerts. I am out a lot of money also, but the only thing we can blame it on is Mother Nature. Grow up people.

I live north of tulsa and bought tickets back in December. I saw you a couple of years ago in Tulsa and told my wife how incredible your shows are so we were looking forward to this event so much. Unfortunately the weather wouldnt allow for us to make it. Our kids took precedent in this situation but I would never dream of bitching about my lost money. I was more devastated to miss what I am sure was an amazing time. I will, instead, attend your concert in Houston on March 14 which happens to also be my birthday. How great is that? Be safe and just know that true fans know you arent trying to rip them off and appreciate your talent and dedication to your dream. Thanks again from all the fans that understand. Keep Rockin!!!!!
