Constipation is Contagious!

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand > Music Minute

sum41.jpg

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!

    The answer is simple. Everyone hates the fact that Whibley married Avril. Avril is the reason why Sum41 sales has flunked.

    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!!!

  23. Halifax says – reply to this
    23

    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.

    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.

  33. WAM says – reply to this
    33

    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??

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Everyone who has good taste in music is saving their money for The Eagles in the summer

  58. deedee says – reply to this

    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!:)

    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.

    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!

  70. Laurie says – reply to this

    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?

  73. joe says – reply to this
    73

    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.

  76. michelethebelle says – reply to this
    76

    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!!

  77. zanne says – reply to this
    77

    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!
