Elvis Costello’s upcoming Adelaide show has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
Promoter Michael Chugg has been completely honest in announcing the cancellation of the Adelaide show.
“It is with regret that Chugg Entertainment today confirms that Elvis Costello & The Imposters’ Adelaide date at the Thebarton Theatre on the Thursday 17th April, will no longer be going ahead. Less than anticipated ticket sales have unfortunately made it impossible to proceed,” the announcement at the Chugg Entertainment website reads.
On Facebook Elvis Costello posted, “To all our friends in Adelaide.
It seems you are too few in number for our show at the Thebarton Theatre to go ahead.
We regret any inconvenience and disappointment caused . We are sorry not to be visiting your fair city and state, as the opportunities to do so in the future may not be numerous.
So long, it’s been good to know you. Elvis Costello and The Imposters”
Promoters have traditionally had a tough time selling tickets in Adelaide which is why major tour often bypass the capital city of South Australia. Adelaide punters are slow ticket purchasers, often electing to buy a ticket on the day instead of in advance.
That makes it impossible for a promoter to gauge the interest in the community.
Chugg Entertainment has issued the following refund information:
