POWER OUTAGE at the Great Woods tonight (June 24th)

The 311 show at the Comcast Center was canceled/postponed tonight at 9:00pm (with 15,000 kids in the venue). At about 7:00pm, the electricity in the venue went out and they were not able to restore it in time to have the show tonight. In fact it has not been restored as of yet.

So what does this mean for tomorrow Buffett show at Great Woods ................ I have no idea. But if you read something in the morning about it and it impacts the Thursday show at Great Woods... You heard it hear first.

Don't expect a ticket release tonight. They closed the box office and they all went home.

Update: THE 311 EVENT WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 24, HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY JUNE 29.

The greedy part of me is saying that if they move the show to Friday, I can get a full refund on the ticket that I can't sell. :)

Me thinks the power will be fixed, and all will be right with the world.

As much as I'd love you to get your money, I got a friend's birthday friday night, and he'd be p*** if I missed it for a Buffett show. :lol: :lol:

Have to agree. There must be dozens of companies in the Boston area with full power setups for concerts, etc.
May be a bit more hectic for Jimmy's guys to get the CR's wired up, but hey, who needs a sound check?? It'll be an adventure!
