Last tour ever concerts?

[Just Jack]

Going through some old photos and came across one concert I went to a couple years ago that the artist said would be their last tour ever.  It got me thinking of other artists and groups that said it was there last tour, yet 5-10 years later they do another last tour ever.  Realistically, if you bought tickets because it was supposed to be their last tour, then a few years down the road they do another tour, would you sue for the price of your tickets back, since it was not their last tour ever after all?

Jeebus...Cellino need the work that bad?  Can't he just pick up a few cases Rudy had to drop?

Just consider that they are a few years older now and the show probably won't be as good as it was then.... especially if they are old-school bands.

I think that Kiss is doing their 4th last tour this year.

Reason why not sue: Laywers screw you getting most of money and you get a coupon.

[Mr. K]

Motley Crue had to pay a stupid amount of money to come out of retirement.

King Crimson is doing their final tour this summer.

[Doc Brown]

Good question but only if they specified how long their final tour would be.

Where did you see that it was their final tour?

I leapt to a conclusion.

While not officially a “farewell” tour, King Crimson said the band has no plans to tour beyond this year.

 

They ain't spring chickens. And Fripp gets more views doing his Sunday Lunch mini concerts with wife Toyah

Where is the “HELL NO” option?

 

Sometimes it’s hype to sell tickets, sometimes it’s how they feel at the moment. They aren’t allowed to change their mind, like the rest of us? It happens. 

 

Be a grown up and know it may or may not play out that way.

Reason #745,253 why Rush was so great. They said during the R40 tour that "it may be the last tour of this magnitude". Didn't say final tour, but that it may not be at that large scale. Ended up being the last tour. Even with Neil's passing, Geddy and Alex didn't just go out, find another drummer, and try to cash in some more.

I saw Bob Seger'a pre-covid last tour show.  While his voice wasn't as strong as he was in his youth for 70 years old that man still put on a helluva show. In terms of suing, am sure there is some fine print on the ticket that would disallow you to.

No.

I saw the Who in 1982 and it was billed as their final tour. According to Wikipedia they are still touring. That's humorous, not something to sue over.

Grateful Dead did the Fare Thee Well tour in 2015 billed as their last concerts. Yet here we are in 2021 and Bob Weir is frontman for Dead and Co still touring with the two drummers in Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann.

I’ve contacted my attorney, @BringBackFergy, about suing you for creating this thread.

I hope this lawsuit goes better than my 2016 suit against the Buffalo Bills when I bought season tix based on their "Run Deep" motto.

Technically, they billed that as their "First Farewell Tour." They didn't rule out anything in the future.

 

And to the OP, I have no problem with a band changing its mind. I can choose to see or to skip subsequent tours.

I saw Ozzy on his "No More Tours," tour in 1992.

 

That was followed by his "Retirement Sucks" tour, then years of Ozz Fest tours, leading to his No More Tours 2 tour, which has been going since 2018.

 

He's like the Brett Favre of rock.
