I can understand that you are angry and pissed off. but when are you going to ge the chance to see Underworld? It could have been a lot worse. The gig could have been cancelled. You should just swallow your pride and just go anyway.

im glad youre seeing some sense in apologising. but you should really reconsider and GO to the gig. youre talking as if the venue is more important than the band.

It's come as a surprise and bitter disappointment to us also - it's been a dream to play Red Rocks for many many years.

The bottom line is that ticket sales for the Red Rocks show have been poor and for weeks we've been assured that sales would pick-up and that the show would go on. At this point we're unclear as to why, but at the end of the day we were not presented with any choice. It is disappointing to say the least, and responsibility for an honest explanation falls to us - but all those who purchased tickets and in some cases are planning long journeys to make this show are due some sort of explanation.

Thank you for your words of support.

thanks for the official response. If the ticket numbers are low then your only option is to go with a smaller venue. Its that or cancel. I'll be there at Central Park... i hope nothing bad happens that stops that from happening! (I've flown half way round the world for this...)
