 Despite the hype surrounding the Bachchans’ Unforgettable tour for two months, the first segment of the tour has been called off abruptly. After the London leg of the show, the performances scheduled in Rotterdam and Oberhausen have been cancelled at the last minute, as the promoters of the show were not too keen on them.
Our source said, “Fans who had purchased tickets in Rotterdam and Oberhausen, were very disappointed as the tour was called off at the last minute but we could do nothing about it. We arrived at the decision to call off the tour after weighing the pros and cons of every possible solution. The local promoters defaulted at the last minute making it impossible for us to continue with the shows.”
However, another source close to the tour gave an altogether different version. He said that the tour has been called off due to the lack of response from the audience. The source revealed, “The official take is that local promoters defaulted and did not meet the requirements of Wizcraft and stars on the tour. However, one of the main reasons for calling off the tour is mediocre ticket sales. The tickets are very expensive and ‘the meet and greet with the stars’ comes at an additional price. Also, as compared to the Unforgettable tour, the tickets of SRK’s Temptations shows were much cheaper. Considering another Temptations tour being in the offing in Europe including Germany, Bollywood fans were in no mood to buy expensive tickets for the Unforgettable tour.”
We contacted Amitabh Bachchan and asked him why the two shows had been cancelled and whether the price of tickets was an issue. He replied, through a text message, saying, “The promoters of the show have defaulted on the contract… I’m not authorised to give a comment on this. And ticket price is not an issue. All our other nine shows in Canada, Trinidad and in entire USA and London were sold out.’
Meanwhile, music composer Shekhar, who is part of the tour, has a different take. He said, “Considering the fact that we are planning to have our segment of the show in Europe, we had an afterthought about doing the shows now in Rotterdam and Oberhausen. We have now scheduled shows in the said European cities for our second segment in Europe.”
Now, that’s a lot of reasons for the cancellation of the shows.

For me, the stars will have movie’s projects and simply the UT in Netherlands and Germany was shelved, not for Shah Rukh and other reasons
Tony, you rascal.
Stop making false announcements, you’re trying to give SRK the blame for every incident involving AB, Aamir, Salman, Akshay.
I can’t understand that RS is allowing this man to write crap.
These shows have been postponed due to ramadan.
I phoned the agency who sells tickets in rotterdam. They told me the shows have been postponed till november
Bullshit story Amjad.
Everybody in Europe knows that the shows are expensive as hell and that’s the reason behind the failure. There’re just a few people who bought tickets, this show would be a flop anyways, thats the reason that the promotors are backing away.
The agency facts are
Unforgettable tour has been the biggest success EVER for indian concerts. Every show has been a sell-out.
Its been twice as big as temptations. Seems like you are finding this hard to accept.
The europen legs will take place in november after ramadan. thats what the agency told me. I phoned them. If you dont beleive me why dont you give them a call in rotterdam instead of barking..
Number is
0031104856969

TONY GO DIE AND LEAVE SRK ALONE, GET A LIFE YOU JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU AGENCY FREAK, GO AND PROMOTE YOUR CRAPY TOUR SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT SUCKED LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bachans are big time loser …there’s only two super star who are rocking the bollywood salman and srk . EAST OR WEST SALMAN n SRK IS the BEST . soon they both are gona patchup world will see
You lot seem to back SRK all the time even if he was proved as the
guilty man you lot will still back him. If I’ am correct when Hrithik started
his career and started to do good SRK himself was quite jealous
obiviously you lot love him so much you think this is bull well watch
“koffee with karan” and you will know. I love SRK films but he finds
himself in trouble, rumours say he rejected to appear in Salman’s
film and that got Salman mad because Salman appeared in KBC
and Om Shanti Om so you can’t blame Salman.
I think SRK only done his on tour beause he wanted to p**s
Amitabh off.
guys,don’t say about canada ,because in toronto where capasity of crowd was 55000 and only 6000 people shown up,vancouver no tickets were sold and only akshay had make show alone for$10 canadian.and here in canada
there is not a single news about srk concert so ,if tomorow bachchans
get sick don’t blame srk
GOD! wht i’m missing here????? again a topic on SRK? this is cool! it’s obvious that salman & SRK will patch up no matter wht cuz their religion unite’s them no matter wht harm they make for each other, at last all muslims r the same. they are for each other.
Toni aint said anything that put’s SRK down why you guys are making him a villian? he only said srk shows where cheaper hence sold out. SRK is a true star he dont care for money he is a true entertainer & he is a true human! we love him may God bless him
THATS BULLSHIT!
LONDON WAS NOT SOLD OUT. I WAS THERE SAT ABOVE AND COULD SEE 1/3 OF THE ARENA SEATS NOT FILLED!
