Dixie Chicks: Accommodating Demand

Several concerts on the Dixie Chicks’”Accidents & Accusations” tour have been canceled after slow ticket sales, but the group says it has replaced them with other dates.

Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, Memphis and Knoxville are among 14 cities no longer on the original schedule released in May, according to a revised itinerary posted Thursday on the Dixie Chick’s Web site.

Other shows, including Nashville, Los Angeles, Denver and Phoenix, have been pushed back to later dates.

The trio released a statement last week attributing the changes to attempts to “accommodate demand” and said more dates might be added next year.

Changes to accommodate demand? Don’t they mean changes to “accommodate lack of demand”?

“We hope that our fans who were looking forward to a stop that is no longer on the tour will be able to join us at a nearby arena this fall, and we are sorry for any confusion or inconvenience these changes have caused,” the Dixie Chicks said.

Umm… Why would there be confusion? I am sure the four fans who already purchased tickets will be able to figure it out. An inconvenience? Maybe so, for those who couldn’t read the writing on the wall.
