hahninator Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 From LinkinPark.com: "Due to logistical issues, some changes have been made to Linkin Park's upcoming Brazilian tour. - Oct. 7th– São Paulo – Anhembi (no changes) - Oct. 8th – Rio de Janeiro – Citibank Hall Rio (no changes) - Oct. 10th – Rio de Janeiro – Citibank Hall Rio (new concert in the city) - Oct. 12th – Porto Alegre – Gigantinho – (the show was previously booked to happen on Oct. 11th on Zequinha Stadium) Because of these changes, the concert scheduled in Curitiba on October 10 unfortunately had to be cancelled. Even with the change of date and place of the concert in Porto Alegre, the tickets purchased for this show are valid for the same sectors. There is no need to exchange tickets. For the new date in the Citibank Hall, Rio de Janeiro, on Oct. 10th, ticket information is below: LP Underground Presale – Sept. 12th General Public On Sale – Sept. 14th" Thanks to MikeShinodaClan for the heads up!

hahninator Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Maybe Curitiba sold really badly and they said screw it, night 2 in Rio it is. I think Rio sold out really fast so that'd make sense lol.

RogueSoul Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm sure one day South America will get a regular tour. They could probably play Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, etc. Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/9084-brazil-updates-curitiba-cancelled-rio-night-2-added/#findComment-174142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Del Porto Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I am Brazilian and I will try to explain what happened. The coming of Linkin Park to Brazil was disputed by three producers: SWU (the same producer of Maquinária Festival), XYZ and T4F. The contract with SWU was almost close to being signed when the XYZ offered more money by the coming of the band. But the T4F offered even more money and signed a contract with the band for shows in October. What happens: to have spent more money, T4F put the tickets at a very high price. Another thing: if the SWU would have closed the contract with the band, we would have shows at Maquinária Festival in Chile and Paraguay, as producers of both festivals are very close. The shows wouldn't be in October, but in November. With this, the possibility of shows besides the festivals, as in Argentina and other countries would increase greatly. It was a surprise announcement of shows in Brazil and only in October. This made the other interested countries, such as Chile and Argentina, were surprised. You can see this by the show in Argentina, which was signed only in late August, while the shows in Brazil were announced in the second week of July. Edit: To further complicate the ticket sales, the producer XYZ in August announced the coming of the Evanescence to Brazil exactly on the same dates of Linkin Park. This act was seen as a clear answer to T4F. Look: in São Paulo, we will have shows of Evanescence and Linkin Park on the same day and almost at the same time in different places.

Victor Del Porto Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Wow, didn't realize the Ev dates were on the same dates as LP. Look: Linkin Park Brazil Tour: 07/10 São Paulo 08/10 Rio de Janeiro 10/10 Rio de Janeiro 12/10 Porto Alegre Evanescence Brazil Tour: 04/10 Porto Alegre 06/10 Rio de Janeiro 07/10 São Paulo 11/10 Recife 13/10 Fortaleza The cost is too high to go more than a show of Linkin Park in Brazil. The Premium ticket for the first show of Rio de Janeiro is R$ 700 (around US$ 350), even more with shows from other bands almost on the same dates (or on the same date).

LeonardoMF Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe Curitiba sold really badly and they said screw it, night 2 in Rio it is. I think Rio sold out really fast so that'd make sense lol. That's the reason. I'm sure about that. No doubt about that. Rio is almost sold out but the concert in Rio is for 7,000 people and Curitiba was for almost 20,000. I'm sure one day South America will get a regular tour. They could probably play Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, etc. Off course. Brazilian economy is so well and better than Europe and Asia for shows. All the artists are coming every year. The other contries will have their concerts because our economy is in a good moment. I am Brazilian and I will try to explain what happened. The coming of Linkin Park to Brazil was disputed by three producers: SWU (the same producer of Maquinária Festival), XYZ and T4F.

hahninator Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 why only 20.000 ???? i saw at wikipedia that the old venue has 40.000 Well like for example in Asia, LP would put the stage really close to the stands. It wouldn't be like at a typical arena show. It'd be like if they moved the stage halfway across the arena floor or something. Half arena. Except in Asia at one of the shows, forgot which one, it was like 1/5 of the arena was for the crowd LOL, LP played to like the very end of it. Weird! Maybe it's something like that here.
