Raven-Symone postpones 55-city tour
Raven-Symoné’s ambitious 55-city Pajama Party Tour has been postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances,” according to a press release. “Raven-Symoné apologizes to her fans for any inconvenience this may have caused and ticket refunds will be available from the original point of purchase.”
I predicted something like this months ago! No offense to fans of hers, but she’s not exactly relevant today - Just ask any 7-year old, if you need further proof. Raven’s management probably saw the massive amount of money that tween acts like Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers, Naked Brothers Band, and others were bringing in, and decided to jump on the bandwagon.
Unfortunately, touring without proper preparation can lead to disaster - Just last year, we saw Kelly Clarkson face similar challenges, when she decided to tour venues that were entirely too big for her. After months of lackluster ticket sales, they regrouped, and instead toured smaller venues better suited to her audience.
It’s too soon to tell what Raven plans to do, but based on the fact that refunds are being issued, I’d venture to guess that she’s calling off the tour completely.
My daughter is 8 years old and she loves raven we were not notified of this cancellation and we arrive at the Arena at 6:00 p.m this evening and there was no one there and we went to the ticket booth and saw a sign that the concert was cancel……My daughter was in tears….all she talked about was this tour…….my heart drop to see my daughter in so much pain…she is my only child and this was so unfair to her that we were not notified earlier. We just left the Arena about 15 mins ago and just to see that look on my daughter face was undescribable…I wish someone could have sent a letter or email prior to us going there….Raven you are still my daughters favorite but that was not fair……My daughter is in her room right now crying as I type this email!!!!
I just happened to notice a credit to our bank account and started investigating. It would have been nice had SOMEONE, ANYONE notified us to let us know tha the concert was cancelled, I really don’t want to break this news to my daughter later this morning.
