Default not about cash
Its not about cash how much time do you think the band wanna spend away from home.There will be dates in spain and australia and japan as album hit number 1 there.Give them a chance they have just got 40 arena dates set up for the us.Loads more dates will go up in europe,i agree they should go to eg italy sweden,finland as the band are huge all over and the demand is so high but if they didnt its crazy to think its cause of money.There already doing 40 dates in us and canada and are playing huge stadiums in uk ireland germany holland switzerland and austria.Yes they should go to as many fans as possible and im sure loads more dates will go up but money aint an issue with the band they could have retired 10 years ago

yeah, not selling out a venue would be a major setback for a band with 1000 000 000 fans who can't be wrong

Bullshit. Australia's a lot further than Northern Europe. So is Japan. It's about money, plain and simple. If promoters up here would pay the price the band is asking, they would come.

If u ask me, they would play in moon or wherever if the price was right

Well that was what I was trying to say. Band gets their money and in worst case promoters lose it.

They must be asking shitload of money.

Have a nice day is all over Finnish radio, so Welldone probably was not overly cautious with the offer.

austria's not a big stadium- 30,000 is the least number of attendance in austria since the ktf tour- their biggest was 92,000 at the crossroads tour (the second biggest concert in austria which has ever happened- the biggest one was 95,000 rolling stones the same year)
