    Madison, WI Show Canceled

    Hey folks, so sorry for those who bought tickets. This is usually where an artist or management makes up some bullshit why they have to cancel a tour date. Bottom line is, we sold very few tickets! We explored other options and nothing worked out. We have other shows planned in the area and again, we are sorry. If it were just me losing money I would play it, but there are a lot of folks involved when it comes to a show and I will not lose them money. Ya win some, ya lose some. Tuff pill for us to swallow, but the truth is the truth. Rock on.

    PS - Of course full refunds will be given, stay tuned for details.

COME TO INDY!! Last years Born Free concert at Klipsch Music Center, Noblesville, IN, was PACKED!! I know you haven't released all the concert dates, but I was so afraid you wouldn't add Indy, that I am going to the show in Louisville next weekend. I bought tickets thru the presale, and got 5th row, floor, and had no problem at all. I saw a lot of comments on your Facebook page requesting an Indy show; we would love to see you here this summer! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! See you next Saturday night in Louisville!

its too bad but as long as im refunded Im not gonna get tied in a knot about it. Ya dont do shows to LOSE money thats bad buisness and a applaud the effort to do it.Who wants to cancel a concert? Canceling a gig is never a particularly pleasant experience for a lot of reasons, but sometimes, calling off the show just has to be done. On the "how much drama, headache and expense is this going to cause me" scale, canceling a gig can mean disappointment, unpleasant conversation and moderate expense on an indie/smaller scale level and can go all the way up to multi-million dollar lawsuits on the arena tour level (though hopefully there is some insurance in place to help deal with all of that if you're headlining arenas). Maybe next year.

first thing is dont let anyone buy up to 8 tickets for your show.. cuz 90% of them tix are sckalpers.. and when this website "kid rock.com", tried to sell tickets it was a big joke.. you couldnt get the pass word.. and when you did get the pass word it wouldnt let you get logged in.. im able to get pre-sale tix with other bands. idk for some reason you cant get tix thru kid rocks website.. maybe someon is in cahoots with skalpers around the u.s but you can guarentee you wont get a pre-sale or a ticketmaster tix when you offerin 8- 10 tix for a show.. idk why you guys here on this website cant figure it out but cant get a kidrock tix at face value at all.. to bad to madison.. should have did a in promt to show in milwaukee or chicago

Crazy!! B/c there are some buying the tickets and selling them for a thousand per ticket. I was looking this morning for my mother-in law this morning she wants to see you in concert again. But I didn't want her paying a arm and leg like she did the last time. She 72 wil be 73 this yr. live's in Farwell MI. closer to Rosebush. She has seen in the newspaper you will be at Saginaw MI. at the Dow Center and I've just ignored her thinking she will forget it, but guess not. This morning she's called...ya know Kid Rock will be in concert on and on she goes. So I look at the tickets and I know being her age and size she needs to be close to see over people. But there was no way I was letting her pay that price for a tickiet. 1,000.00 per ticket - 888.00 per tick. - 589.00 per tick. for a front row and that was not the front rt. box or the front lt. box. These people need to be stopped at buying these tickets and making so much money off of honest people. This is exactly why I refuse to buy tickets and go to concerts I'm not supporting these people. It's all one big SCAM!

Wow. This is awful news! I bought 3 tix for Christmas gifts (1 for myself of course) and we were all really excited; especially since we had good seats. Hard to believe you didn't sell out; I've seen you in Milwaukee and Chicago. Oh well, thanks for being honest with us. We still love you!
