The highly anticipated Mumbai concert of singer-songwriter John Mayer has been postponed. Fans across India received disappointing news this week.
New Date Announced for Mumbai Show
BookMyShow made the official announcement on Wednesday through their Instagram account. The seven-time Grammy Award winner will now perform at Mahalaxmi Race Course on February 11. Originally, the concert was scheduled for January 22 as part of his ongoing world tour.
The announcement created immediate backlash among ticket holders. Many fans had already finalized their travel arrangements and hotel bookings for the January date.
Fans Express Frustration Over Rescheduling
Angry comments flooded BookMyShow's social media posts. Fans highlighted several practical problems with the date change.
One fan wrote, "February 11 falls on a Wednesday. This creates a midweek show that disrupts work schedules. People booked expensive flights and hotels that are difficult to cancel. How can you not offer refund options?"
Another comment questioned, "What about our flight fares now? This situation demands a refund option since people booked based on specific dates."
Several fans explained their logistical challenges. "We booked tickets from across India for Mumbai. People arranged their jobs and work schedules well in advance. The financial losses from these cancellations feel completely unfair," one person argued.
Multiple comments demanded straightforward refunds. "NEED REFUND. Attending in February won't be possible for many. We cannot simply book flights again! Stop with this scam and refund our money," another fan insisted.
Some Fans Show Support for John Mayer
Amid the criticism, a few fans expressed understanding toward the artist. One supporter tagged John Mayer directly, writing, "We completely understand if you needed to postpone the show. Please ignore all the refund requests. You have many loyal fans here who support you and will wait to see you perform."
The same comment added, "Please don't cancel the show entirely. Many of us have waited years for this concert. We are willing to wait a little longer. We look forward to seeing you on the new date in February."
This supportive message referenced a personal loss the singer recently experienced. It acknowledged that artists sometimes face unavoidable circumstances requiring schedule changes.
The controversy highlights the complex relationship between event organizers, artists, and fans. While supporters show patience for their favorite musicians, practical concerns about money and logistics create genuine frustration.
Concert postponements always test fan loyalty. The John Mumbai situation demonstrates how quickly excitement can turn to anger when financial investments and careful planning get disrupted.
