Send us your comments. What do you think of the last minute cancellation?
With 20 gold albums, nine platinum albums and six multi-platinum albums, The Beach Boys are considered one of the top rock vocal groups in the world. Formed way back in 1961, the band penned countless hits which have spanned the generations: for example, I Get Around, Kokomo and Good Vibrations, declared one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s songs of the century.

I find it really depressing and disgusting that the Beach Boys have let the fans of Durban down. We bought the tickets the first day it was announced they were coming to Durban.
So what if the venue is not full? What about us who counted the months, then weeks then days?
The Beach Boys and the organisers can go to hell. Nice way to treat the fans of Durban.
The way this has been handled is disgusting. We travelled 350km to Durban for this, only to hear early on Friday morning when we were already in Durban that it was cancelled.
We also bought tickets the first day. What about the expenses WE had regarding this. Just the travelling alone was 700km. Plus accomodation. We were prepared to do this in order to see them.
Everything is just about bloody money!!!! The organisers and the Beach Boys can now get stuffed!!
Why did they leave it to the last minute to cancel the Durban show? If we had been informed earlier, we could have booked at one of the other venues and flown there to see them. I am now fed up with this nonsense and have decided that I will not be booking again for any live events in Durban. Not only do they select unsuitable venues but cancel events at the last minute. I also note that making the booking was easy, but it was a hell of a job trying to get my money back.
Stop trying to fleece us with huge ticket prices for a bunch of has beens! Bring the bands we want to see not the ones trying to make a quick buck to cover their imminent funeral costs!
