Could you share with us the dozens of music articles that you are referencing, that support that these shows were not cancelled by the promoter? I like looking at facts to support claims. I've heard differently from others. For example, someone I know attended the Houston show and confirmed that the attendance was poor, so much so, that he was allowed to sit significantly closer to the stage compared to his originally purchased seat. This is why I like to look at substantiated facts with support from articles, as otherwise, all of these conflicting reports become a he-said, she-said, hearsay mess.
Marv isn't wrong and I don't think he was lying about the 3,000 seats out of 19,000 seats being sold at the Columbus date, as this article from the LA Times states that very fact. Maybe they got the seating capacity of the venue wrong:
"And some nights the audience was closer in number to 10 than 10,000. In Columbus, Ohio, for example, only 3,000 of 19,000 seats were sold, while a Tampa, Fla., show filled only 5,000 of 20,000 seats. In the past week, shows in Long Island, N.Y., Washington and Pittsburgh were canceled without specific explanation from the lead promoter, SFX Entertainment, which prompted the Ross statement."
