After two concerts in Vancouver were postponed, fans are upset about the loss of the experience of seeing Pink in concert last weekend and the financial burden the last-minute announcement will place on many.
The “Trustfall” singer posted on social media that he was very disappointed that he would not be performing on stage at Rogers Arena on Friday and Saturday due to doctor’s orders. She added that concert promoter Live Nation is working to reschedule both performances.
Christy Agarn had flown far to meet the singer and had been looking forward to it for months.
“I had [Pink] It’s been on my bucket list for a long time, but I couldn’t afford to meet her until now,” says Agaan.
Pink contacted fans through a statement on Instagram on October 19, the day before Agaan was scheduled to watch the show, saying she was suffering from respiratory problems.

Agarn traveled from Regina to Vancouver for the concert. She found a deal on her airline ticket for about $300 and paid an additional $500 for her hotel.
“It cost me more than $1,000 in total, including travel, hotels, and meals, not to mention the $500 I paid for her concert tickets,” says Agarn, a fan of 20 years.
“I contacted Ticketmaster and was told that artists are not offering refunds. I don’t think this should be done! Especially for people who travel! I can’t come back next month! I can’t even get a refund. So I’m very upset,” Agaan said.
She hopes the concert will be rebooked for next year to give herself and other fans a chance to save money to attend the show.
Daily Hive has reached out to Ticketmaster and Live Nation for comment.
The disappointment of Agran and other fans serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that arise when important events are canceled or postponed at the last minute.
A similar situation occurred in August when one of Drake’s Vancouver shows had to be rescheduled due to technical issues.
Just recently, fans in Vancouver were disappointed when the show they were attending was canceled after only the fifth song due to safety concerns. Lil Yachty was performing at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Center on Saturday night, but the show was canceled after she called on hundreds of people to storm the stage.
Live Nation told Daily Hive that fans with tickets to the show will be issued refunds.
