No Portugal for MK, No Portugal for the Biebs!

Seems Bieber has cancelled his gig in Portugal due to poor ticket sales!  Maybe this is an indication as to why Mark isn't having a concert there this year.  Or perhaps his management are using that as an excuse for his recent "issues."  Whatever, I thought it was quite interesting to note.

I already mentioned some months ago that it was curious that the European countries were the crisis really hit hard, Portugal, Ireland and Greece are out of the tour.

Well, maybe he could play for minimum profit as a way to show his support, or offer an early pre-sale on conditions. If it sells 80% of the tickets 3 months before the date, then go ahead. If not then abort. It is not like going to the other side of the world.  But of course who could ask for something like this. I guess Greece was more of a problem with all the fear spreading from EU headquarters, about leaving Euro and going back to Drachma. But Portugal and Ireland is totally beyond me. About Bieber, I don't think he has much of an audience in Europe, at least not like the US, but I would never imagine coming over for a tour. Does it include lipsync and dancing? Hardly about music. Why don't they pay to go see a play or a movie instead...

Teenegers are queuing for weeks just to buy tickets (magine when they discover ticketmaster and the computers...) for Bieber in Spain.

MK can

You are right jbaent. I was only suggesting to work for minimum profit, but since there is hardly any money being made from sales (or is it?) he has to compensate from tours. No hard feelings whatsoever. Just wondering if Bieber is coming in Greece. I will feel like having saved 40-50 Euros, because I certainly will not go to see him...

If playing in Portugal was such a big concern, maybe Mark could have played Vigo in Spain like in '92.  This is near the border and would probably attract fans from places like Porto.

Same problem here. The Spanish dates had been difficult to close too, with the crisis hitting harder and harder, to find the money to pay for the concerts its very difficult. I guess MK doesn

jbaent, I LOVE your avatar, but it would be perfect without that short shot of Mark at the end of the loop (or is it at he beginning ?)

You forgot the embarrassed emoticon.

obviously you misspelled and meant the proud one? yes?

Pottel, shall we expect a recording ?
Is there a chance you also go to the first one ? 

[vgonis]

tunnel 85, I already have the bootleg recordings of his first 100 shows. It is in fact the studio recording with the addition of different crowd noise for each one. Interested?
