I just got this from Bad Boy Blog: The list of dates for Diddy/Dirty Money's "Coming Home Tour" has been shrinking, with the group canceled all four scheduled Florida dates, the Houston, Texas date and both of the closing dates in Missouri.
While it may be natural to suggest that the reason for these cancellations was a lack of ticket sales, a representative for the group told TMZ that it was a matter of logistics.
"A few dates for the 'Coming Home Tour' in Florida and Missouri were canceled due to production and technical logistics which made it impossible for Diddy Dirty Money to perform the best show for their fans. The remaining shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix are scheduled as planned and will mark the ending to a widely acclaimed tour."
With plenty of time to plan the tour and select the venues, it is unfortunate that they are just now becoming aware of logistical issues at multiple venues, after fans have purchased tickets and are excited that the group was coming to their city.

But you would think that when a company puts money up to back and finance a TOUR, people who find and book venues, would at least have the type of show in mind and book a venue that will have or can accommodate those opportunities that you are trying to provide. Like what the hell were they booking, LIBRARIES??? SCHOOL GYMS? I'm confused. Like, who 'OK'd' these venues that they realized, at the eleventh hour, that they couldn't perform? And why hadn't they tried to book another venue or make a compromise with the venue owners instead? If I was working for Bad Boy and whomever else put up to finance the tour, that's what I would have done. I would have exhausted every possibility until I couldn't. To me it seems like someone got really sloppy and at the last minute, the executive decision was "oh well"!
Now this doesn't necessarily mean that that's how it played out, but I think its pretty funny how the larger venue dates, in cities with a larger population (ie larger turn out) kept their dates. *Dawn voice* I'm just sayin...
(ticket sales my ass)
