And are you Maynard's personal doctor? Were you there with him on the 18th/19th? Do you know what he was sick with? Please, share with us your amazing powers of astral projection. The government has been trying to figure that shit out for half a century now.

Nonetheless, tickets sales and promotion are beyond the band's control. As I said before, there's a lot of players that go on into making a show. It's not just the band, security, fans and managers. Promotion is supposed to be guarenteed by the purchaser of said show - it's their responsibility to get the word out and get the sales up. If they can't do that within a satisfactory amount of time or to a good enough point where it'll cover at least most of the costs, then the show is cancelled, moved or post-poned.

The band themselves don't do the booking - that's management's job. Bitch at them. It could've also been the venue's fault for getting back to them so late in time.
