GFW Live Show Canceled Due to Poor Ticket Sales

As previously mentioned, GFW canceled an upcoming live show in Bridgeport, CT on August 6. In their announcement, GFW said that it was “due to unforeseen circumstances and logistical challenges.”

According to PWInsider, the word they got is that the show was canceled due to poor ticket sales. The Bridgeport, CT show was way behind the other two weekend shows in the area in Long Island on August 4 and Staten Island on August 5, despite it getting a lot of promotion and plugs from a major FM radio station in the area. Three shows in a row in the same general area seems like it was probably a bit too much.

GFW’s announcement on the cancellation:
