Tulsa, OK Thousands of fans paid excellent money to hear Rod Stewart at the BOK Center Thursday night. But just hours before the show, it was canceled because he's bad and it won't be rescheduled.The turn of accident left Green Country fans very disappointed.Shelia West had some very big plans.
"Two days vacation from Rogers, Arkansas. It's our 31st wedding anniversary," explains West.So did Nancy and Val Saamer."We work 24/7. This was going to be the big affair," says Nancy.But everything fell apart after the Rod Stewart gig was canceled only hours before show time. And soon after the report began to fly that the gig was canceled not because of sickness but because of low ticket sales. We checked it out and discovered that is probably not the case.In fact, Stewart canceled not only at the BOK Center tonight, but also several additional gig next week, including one in Virginia Beach and another outside of Pittsburgh. "It happens a whole lot more frequently than people accomplish in all sorts of market for all sorts of reasons," explains Gary Hizer, Music Editor for Urban Tulsa Weekly. "There's going to be a level of frustration, definite frustration involved."But the night must go on even if the show didn't.Sheila West says they "decided to spend the night. Make the best of it; drown our trouble."The Saamers say, "We don't get out much anymore. It was moving to plan a night in downtown Tulsa."The BOK Center is tendering full rebate, but you must have the credit card used to buy tickets. That means if you bought tickets on "Craig's List," you may not be able to get your money back.
