Unfortunately China’s Oasis fans will have to wait longer than the slated 5th April date to see their heroes.
According to users of the Chinese SNS Douban, 2 days ago, concert organiser (and ticketer) Emma Ticketmaster stopped selling tickets for their Oasis shows. Their explaination was that there was something wrong with their ticketing system. However, a ticket holder called Emma 2 hours ago with the company explaining that the shows would probably be cancelled.
The Radar has just spoken one of the executives at Emma Ticketmaster (who incidentally hasn’t slept for 2 days). The shows have definitely been postponed (dates TBC). It is not clear what has caused the postponement, but speculation on Douban is that a step in the licensing process was not observed.
Ticketholders can have their tickets refunded by going to the Emma Ticketmaster site.
After the Linkin Park cancellation last November, the Radar does feel for Emma. It is a hard task that they have set themselves, organising high profile arena/ stadium shows here in China, especially in this year of the Ox, which is the 60th anniversary of the Communist party. We hope very much that the shows will be rescheduled soon.
