    Madison, WI Show Canceled
    Posted by
    Kid Rock
    February 22, 2013

    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.

EMS I think BOB was just praised for Honesty so if a fan loses motel money or something valid well the love flows both ways...I didnt buy from a scalper I bought with presale * that helped ;)

This is such a disappointment! I live in The Madison WI area have been going to Milwaukee to catch your shows for several years. I got tickets for this show and friends from Chicago where attending with us! In fact,yesterday( Friday) I ran into another friend and told her we were going and she was going to get tickets! Shortly after I heard the news the show got canceled. This town has no taste in music, nothing but a bunch of Tree Hugging Wilco lovers! Kid, I look forward to seeing you this year in Milwaukee! Rock On!

Kid rock tickets are 65$ unless its a pkg deal. If you are paying more than that you are buying from Scalpers..DONT DO IT>>>>

Can't believe he didn't sell out. Last time I went to Comerica he sold out during the presale within minutes. He even had to add a Saturday show when the original plan was just a Friday show. Just praying the Toledo, OH show sold enough tickets ! I know at least a dozen people that are going! And, these are the best seats I have ever gotten (presale, great price)

No chance of this happening at Toledo, Diana...I just checked, sold out! Also they have an interactive seat chart now, so you can see your actual seats, I couldn't remember where you're at, Floor 4 right?

Love the honesty and SO glad to hear you weren't sick! UGH....can't be sick before the cruise! What a noble man to make such a call to honor your crew, entire team and band. Get to So Cal and you will sell out in a day! Hell, I would pay for a whole section if I had to just to see that beautiful smile! Rock on Bobby! See you on the boat!!! Can't wait to FINALLY meet you.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the reasons we all like Bob is he is real. He could have come up with some half ass story. Instead, he kept it real and respected his fans by reeling the truth. Not his fault it didn't sell out. Hey it is after all a business. Doesn't make me happy either but I get it.

im thinking he bought too many pianos in hotel lobbys? that facebook comment hurt other peoples feelings like ya dont care. Im planning on a year of just ROCKIN ON sing your sweetheart songs to somebody else. which is it? you state one thing on this site and tell people you stopped counting how many pianos ya bought in hotel lobbys? some ladies save all year to go to a concert ya know . we dont have sugar daddys paving the way, some have a ounce of PRIDE I know I do ;)I got too much on my plate to worry about concerts anyhow I will just go to a few in lacrosse expand my music knowledge some ;)

No, No...I don't want a refund...instead I would be happy with a super-duper ticket to another show...maybe even a special pass (wink, wink).

Really bummed about this :(. Tried to get tixs for three shows and went with Madison because I had the best seats during the presale. Went with this concert and now I will attend one of the other shows with probably shitty seats. Rock on Kid Rock. Seen him so many times I have lost count but I was really looking forward to it. Started a countdown on my Facebook wall just a few days ago.

WOW! I had to post because of the comment of 500.00 tickets. I went to Kid's concert last night in New Orleans & had pretty great seats & they were 65.00. He has always tried to keep the ticket costs down. He rocked the arena last night to a full house. All I can say is Madison, WI you are missing an amazing show. He does his best to keep T-shirts ect to a decent costs. So, with that said...........to the guy who pd. 500.00 for tickets.........I think you're blowing smoke up somebody's ass! LOL No offense.

I wonder what this means for the contest winners of the Madison show. I bet Bobby will do something for them still somehow.
