    This is ridiculous. Does anyone even see any weather places that show thunderstorms in the area? Every site I have checked doesn't say anything. Huge wasted money on this trip here.

    It looks like a new entry was put in for the same venue tomorrow night. I suggest going in and re entering your picks in tomorrows. Probably a lot of people won't catch that tho, then we'll have a bunch of complaints and they'll either end up counting what u entered for tonight, or just getting rid of the show completely. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in this horrible situation down south.

    Every meteorologist in the city is saying there is a ZERO percent change of rain during the show. That system on the radar is over 45 miles from the amphitheater. And don't bring up yesterdays events as a crutch, Moore is 400 miles away and in the center of tornado alley. Completely different scenario. This terrible amphitheater pulled this crap on the Jimmy Buffett concert as well.

    And it isn't another day of partying for me as I now won't be able to make it to the show. Flew to Austin for no reason now.

    either take it in stride or get mad, whichever, but keep it quiet or you'll be taking a timeout. Ain't nothing you, I, the band, nor anybody else can do. It's not unreasonable to think lots of fans would be in harms' way if the show were to go on tonight.

    within 50 miles of the venue there's a sever t storm warning, tornado watch, and severe weather statement. buy trip protection next time is all I can say.

    It is called venting. People can't vent on here? I think spending >700$ on travel is worth at least a bit of discussion when not a single professional in the city says it is even going to rain during the show. If there was an actual threat I wouldn't say a word and go about my business. Trip protection doesn't help me as I am already here and already flew on the plane/stayed in a hotel/have to fly back home.

    I understand you venting about it. Quick question though - where did you fly in from? No offense, it sucks it's postponed, but where are you flying in from to be spending that much?

    Its expensive to fly into Austin and hotels run about $150ish minimum (ex: $225 for Doubletree), so I feel his pain. They should have announced this much much earlier (at least at noon or 1), 2 and a half hours before the show starts is ridiculous. At least those that couldnt make it, could try to change/cancel their plans. At least if it was before 3 i could cancelled my room and saved $250. Im all for safety but they should have postponed sooner.

    If they're saying there is no threat of tstorms then its pretty lame

    Yea... Weather.com is predicting a whole 25% chance of rain at 8pm and then 0% the rest of the night...

    There was never more than a 20-30% chance of a storm although the severe threat was/is there. After yesterday I do understand them being cautious but on the other hand if they cancelled every show that had that % chance of severe weather they'd be cancelling a lot of shows in the summer. I understand though better safe than sorry especially the day after what happened yesterday.

    BTW - this is your best weather source. Wouldn't really waste me time anywhere else...

    And BTW those storms in OK went from nothing on the radar to massive super cells within just a 1/2 hour. So it can be deceiving.
