Constipation is Contagious!

Sum 41's caught the Avril disease!
The hasbeen pop/punkers are having trouble unloading tix to their current tour, much like You Know Who.
Deryck Whibley (aka Mr. Lavigne) and his band were supposed to 'rock' the 7,000 capacity Moncton Coliseum Complex in New Brunswick, Canada, on March 7th. However, the concert venue recently changed to the 1,200 capacity Club Oxygen.
Blame poor ticket sales for the switch!
We're told Whibley and bandmates have been having trouble selling tix for their most recent outing, not just this one date.
It could have something to do with the fact that no one bought their new album.
Just a hunch!

Damn I got 3rd lol
I bought it
¬¬
dam first?
wooooo thanks perez for putting moncton on the map !!!
wooooo thanks perez for putting moncton on the map !!!
The answer is simple. Everyone hates the fact that Whibley married Avril. Avril is the reason why Sum41 sales has flunked.
sum 41 is way better than avril. its hard to believe. i guess people dont have much money to spending seeing how fucknig expensive gas is
I bought the album and it rocks.
never thought new brunswick would ever be mentioned on perez!!
thanks for putting moncton on the map perez !
love ya moncton.
they both suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
OK People http://crazyforhillary.com/
20th? or so
WOO HOOO!!! New Brunswick!!
4th!
it's cause they suck, I dont even think I'd go see them at Oxygen!! bahaha
hehe. I actually heard that on the radio today. I laughed! O2 (the bar they are going to play it) is so small!!! I don't even think 02 can have that many people where the concert is going to be…maybe in the entire bar yes but not where they will be playin!!! haha!!! So funny!!
YAY Moncton!! haha!!!
LOL…They just downsized their venue for their gig in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada as well. Halifax is 3 times the size of Moncton, yet their original venue was to hold around 3000 and they have since changed to a smaller venue that holds nearly one thousand!!
It could be said that you should take some of the blam for this. I don't know what you have against these two, but it better be good. You really put them down and for some reason people, alot of people listen to you. I happen to really like both of thier music. But maybe it's just because I'm Canadian. Oh, do you not like Canadians, is that your problem.
sum 41 went downhill after their third album, nevermind their latest one !
they had a new album?
ANOTHER GENTLE REMINDER FOR THE IDIOTS: KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE FIRST BULLSHIT!!! IT'S ANNOYING AS HELL!!! GET A GODDAMN LIFE!!! GO PLAY PAC-MAN OR LOOK AT PORN. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. LET THE WITTY AND SMART PEOPLE COMMENT ON OUR BELOV-ED CRACK ADDICTS, WHORES, DOUCHES, AND THE LIKE. THANK YOU!
You know who? I didnt know voldemort had a concert… where do we go about buying tickets? Do we get to hear about harry dying?
Ticket sales are bad because this band SUCKS! UN-LISTENABLE!!!
ps. Perez, I love you for putting Moncton on the map!!! xoxo
saw them a few nights ago in glasgow and they were amazing! came across as really nice people and shouldn't have to be dragged down by avril lavigne (eeeeeeeeeeeew).
I live about an hour away from the Moncton coliseum. The first time Sum 41 came around, I went and it was pretty packed. They had scheduled to come back here a few months ago but they pulled out at the last minute and were replaced by Rhianna and Akon. So I'm guessing that's why the tickets are doing shit this time. They came already AND pulled out… Heck, a few of my friends bought the Sum 41 tickets when they first came out but aren't planning on getting them again because they don't want them to pull out haha.
The tickets are selling for something like $35 each….I wouldn't pay ten bucks to see them, especially at the O2. And I highly doubt that they will get close to the 1200 "capacity" - lucky to get 300! Why can't anyone GOOD come to little old NB??
I think totally sucking is another reason Perez !!! time to face reality and hang it up guys
Personally I never was a fan of that wannabe punk band, but they should take it as an omen, sell their assets and go into broadway or something. Isn't that what all the washed up singers do?
Dude, with all the hating you do, your life must be fucked up. Celebrating negativity fucks up your karmic debt. Take from that what you will.
MONCTON!!!!!!!!!!WOOOWOOO
Sum 41 and Avril suck sooooooooooo bad its unreal.
Not just that, but she's literally SUCH a bitch I don't know how she ever made it big.
I guess she just got lucky that she got such catchy songs that ANYONE could sing, she just got 'em first.
Man I would love to put my tongue up Drycks asshole and eat that shit out while his cunt-bitch wife watches! OyeVey that guy is sexy!
go new brunswick!
it's my home province. at least we maritimers know the difference between good music and shit.
Moncton ROCKS~!!!!
HE LOOKS RETARDED. AVRIL SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR MARRYING A RETARDED PERSON.
You're aware the population of most large cities is higher than New Brunswick's, right? As in 729 thousandish. I guarantee most people have problems selling shows that big there.
i don't know about deryck, but ENOUGH with Avril not selling tickets well. shes selling GREAT in places
I like sum 41! I hope then don't down size their Toronto venue.For the fact that when they play at the kool Haus it somehow is awesom-er and I really like the Kool Haus
I live in Moncton!!!!!! I'm noit going to see Sum 41 though, cause they suck!
Come on Perez don't keep blaming the artists for lacking ticket sales. No one can really sell tickets touring since the greedy promoters and ticketmaster fees have made it impossible for music fans to go to shows anymore. It used to be that you could go to show every weekend spend anywhere from $18-$25 for seats. Places would sell out everyone made money, the bands got exposure, fans got to see their favs live blah blah blah NO MORE !!! GREEDY CORPORATE SKANKS WRECKED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! You know that all artists are puppets to the machine!
hey i live in moncton!
reason the tickets havent done well is coz they cancelled out their concert in nov coz dereck was sick or something.
perez come to moncton nb!
I heard april lavangie is preggers! eww i hope not…troll babies!!!!
Woooo Hoooo Moncton!!!!
yes!! i purchased tickets at a price of 29.50$ plus tax to go to the moncton colieum, and ONLY announced today its now changed to the O2 night club which is a DIVE!! if anyone else purched tickets they and dont want to go to O2 i called the coliseum its full refund on the tickets, i had purchased 4 tickets, 2 for myself and my spouse and 2 for my younger siblings. who really wants to take a 10 year old sum 41 fan to a night club?? RIP OFF BOO!! and this is their second let down, they were going to come to moncton last nov and pulled a NO SHOW. this is sucky!!
I don't know what it is about the East Coast…but Celine Dione was supposed to play in Halifax and they slagged her so bad that she cancelled.
I think it is because east coast people think they are at the top of the shit pile when it comes to music and talent.
what a couple.skinny, pale whiney bitches. And no one cares about eithers music. They both need to go away for good!
Re: yma – People in Moncton can't afford the tickets.
Re: Stephanie – Finally someone is able to state the reality of the situation.
Way to go.
Re: deedee – I know what you mean. The fans are great but the east coast music industry, critics and the like are full of themselves.
WOO YAY MONCTON!
Everyone who has good taste in music is saving their money for The Eagles in the summer
The fans are great. Many were disappointed when Celine cancelled as a result of a critic slagging her before she even performed. Like I said the east coasters think they are at the top of the shit pile.
OMG! Moncton was just mentioned on PEREZHILTON.COM!!! I'm so shocked!! YEAH MONCTON!!!!!… and I'm thinking about going to the show because I really like their opening band, Social Code!:)
I can't believe MONCTON was on your website!! OMG!
woohoo, i dont care for sum41 but i'm from Moncton New Brunswick and happy to see that we are talked about for once!!
Moncton!! We're on the map!
Re: hale – I thought the Eagles split. Law suits etc??
I Love Avril and Perez(aka Paris whana be) i know u don't have anything 2 do 4 a living so u keep on suckin…. xoxo
Dear Perez,
You suck. Seriously. Moncton sells out concerts every other blue moon. It's a city of 100,000. Sure the Stones sold out and we had people from all over, but this latest barb at a Canadian artist is just another example of your lousy, obese reporting skills making presumptions and spewing your hate. You perpetuate and influence and will seriously catch a wallop with the karma bat one of these days.
I hear Jenny Craig is looking for a new spokesbuffalo, you should consider a redirection of your career efforts.
Jenn
crazy white people with problems…
I think sum41's album is very cool. so i dont imagine why they are having trouble with sellin tickets.. probably they need a little more advertising… and also, avril is not a good influence (obviously).
anyone who lives in moncton knows that playing at the 02 is quite the downgrade. That is prolly the worst possible venue we have to offer in Moncton.
Sucks for the people that don't know what they're missing.. I saw Sum41 last week in Glasgow and Deryck Whibley is one of the most crowd-attentive singers I've ever seen!
Y'a they can't even sell out in Barrie and no one comes to Barrie so bands usually sell out quick no matter who they are just because people here are so starved for entertainment. But nobody wants to see SUM 41! When they were touring with Finger 11 they were selling out because everyone wants to see Finger 11 and here the "Paralyzer" song!
they also went from the Air Canada Centre which hold (I think) 17,000 people…to the Kool Haus, which holds about 1500. They're over.
Re: deedee –
Wasn't that Van Halen? The Eagles are touring right now as far as I know.
Nevertheless, there should be a good rock concert this summer, and that's when Monctonians shell out their money.
And in regards to your comparison with the Halifax/Celine Dion fiasco; Moncton and Halifax are very different places, it's Halifax's media that trashes incoming concerts, Moncton welcomes pretty much anyone. We always have very successful outdoor concerts.
I saw Sum 41 when they were last in Vancouver, BC and they rocked! They played at the PNE Forum which was not even half full (the Forum holds less than 4,000 people). Most people enjoyed all the old singles, but once anything new was played the beer garden get really full. Maybe the fans just got sick and tired of them constantly cancelling shows?
it has to do with the fact that like with 90% of the other bands that have come along since the 90's, they just STINK, all these 20 something bands today sound the same, like 3 chord garage bands, just makes you yearn more for the classic rock days, when people could really play instruments, not just learn 3 chords and have a career.
they have a new album…i listen to radio all the time. I guess it shows how interested I was?
Actually New-Brunswick is kind of a small and boring province of canada … so its no surprise ..
It's called over exposure! Canada only has a handful of "well known/popular" music artists right now so they go apeshit trying to overexpose themselves to cash in - thus making the fans bored. They can only play the same venues SO many times!!
Dear Perez-A major reason the ticket sales are lagging is how bad the economy is thanks to the evil dictator. People don't have $ to pay the mortgage, much less $80 and up for tickets. These bands should understand this and get ticket prices down for the rest of us Middle class poor!
yeahhh…represent moncton and the o2 babyyy
and an all ages show at the o2….garbage
ahhhhh I LOVE that you meantioned my hometown!!!!
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!
PEREZ! Look at all of the comments from people in MONCTON, N.B!! YOU SHOULD COME VISIT AND WE COULD GO TO THE 02 and make fun of Mr. LAVIGNE!!!!
Re: deedee – actually, for the most part east coast people don't give a shit about famous people. And New Brunswick is like really small and concerts hardly ever sell out here. I saw Sum 41 a long time ago, it was a pretty good show.
Factoid* Avril made over 12,000,000 dollars last year. So much for bad album/ticket sales…
Marketing must have been lousy for this concert. I live two hours from Moncton and I never heard a thing about it. We get so few big names that word usually spreads pretty quick.
GO NEW BRUNSWICK! WOOOOOO!
Wow! Can that many people fit in the Oxygen?
Oh, and thanks Perez for mentioning Moncton! Very cool.
Re: deedee – People in Moncton can't afford the tickets? What the hell is that?? When they bring bands here that are worth seeing people will pay. I tend to remember bands selling out venues bigger than the O2 and adding more nights worth of shows (Blue Rodeo!). It's not that we 'can't afford' going, it's that we have standards.
I've never been so proud to live here.
YAY NEW BRUNSWICK!!!!
Re: Rosanna – YES PEREZ!!! My Roomie is RIGHT!!! COME TO NB!!!! WE LOVE PEREZ!!
Here in Hamilton, Ontario they were supposed to play at a 1,000 capacity place..has been moved to a 200 person capacity pub at our commmunity college.
Woohoo for mentioning Moncton NB!
When I read Moncton New Brunswick on Perez Hilton I had to go back and read again!!! Yay Moncton and we love you PEREZ!!!
it has nothing to do with canadian music… avril blows and so does sum 41.
if your concert cant sell out to a crowd in Halifax- my home town, or Moncton for that matter you are a joke… there is no venue in either place that holds the amount of people a place like the Bell Canada center does… or some large American stadiums
Deryck and Avril will be working behind the counter at Tim Horton's before the end of this year. Then they'll be fired and die on the street.
Re: deedee – Hey, we've had amazing concerts like The Stone, Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill, The Eagles this summer,ect.. we just aren't really into Sum 41 since they had a planned show already and backed out, what makes us think they won't do that again?
Re: Sam – I agree, I was at work and was like, wtf, had to re-read it then tell everyone, haha yay Moncton!
CLASSIC!!!!!! LOL they r so 5 years if not more AGO! Ummmm…….. oh yea,
WHO CARES!!!!!! HA HA HA HA ! LOSERS!
that's so cool that you mentioned Moncton, we New Brunswicker's love you Perez!!!
You know Mr. Perez Hilton, I have to agree. For being a Sum 41 fan since the Half an Hour of Power album, I'm pretty darn upset with this whole thing.
But seriously, Sum 41 has been struggling since "Chuck" (which happens to be really funny because he dated Avril BITCH lavinge then) and then lost their lead guitarist after the "Go Chuck Yourself" tour. Sum 41…..there were disappointments after then. (Maybe because of Avril….maybe not.) But I'm going have to say….Fuck Avril and leave Sum 41 alone.
Love you Perez Hilton, but they have nothing have to do with Avril.
ps. Cool picture
WOW! I'm amazed….Perez has put Monton on the map!
I live about 45 minutes away from Moncton, and I actually didn't know this! It's a riot, though…oh, those poor boys. I sure hope they're lifting the 19+ age limit for the night, seeing as how a good 99.7% of Sum's fanbase definitely wouldn't meet the requirements…
