Re: ***Official Darien 2014***

2010- 17,836 / 21,800
2012- 21,181 / 21,181 SOLD OUT
2013- 15,714 / 21,800

Those are the attendance numbers according to Billboard. Ticket sales really don't seem to be a problem. Not sure why this was cut.

    Because everything about the venue is utterly shite.

    They'd be better off playing HSBC (or whatever it's called now) downtown.

    Perhaps the venue couldn't accommodate the schedule? Only thing that makes sense to me. I doubt it'd be the amount of partying by bros or anything like that because they'd need to cut the majority of their concerts out....

    If u look at other venues that got cut, they all had low sales figures like Darien did in 2013. Scranton, St. Louis, bethel, etc

    Where did the extra seat come from in 2012?

    Just out of curiosity, what have the attendance levels been like for the recent Toronto shows?

    It was probably higher due to no show in 2011.

    Shame it's mid-week, but happy for those for whom this is their local show that it's still on the schedule.

    Sorry to give everyone a scare here. I posted the information I had. I guess Darien wasn't finalized at the time.

    MolAmp summer shows are usually amongst the first to sell out, but it's one of the top five biggest cities in North America and the only show Canadians don't have to deal with passport/border issues for. In addition MolAmp oversells to around 16,500 so it's not amongst the biggest venues on the summer tour circuit by any means.

    At least the heavy rain washes the vomit away!

    As for hotels, there is one in Batavia. Best Western? Other than that your best bet is either Buffalo or Rochester. Nothing but cow pastures around the park.
