Fantasy Twi-Life Miami Sunday Events Canceled.
Directly from Fantasy Twi-Life Tour:
"It is with great regret that I have to tell you that the Fantasy Twi-Life tour will not open as planned today. We will offer a variety of ways to resolve requests for refunds...
We lost the shirts off our back on this show because the Hyatt made it impossible for us to keep the show at their hotel and notified us of this impossibility on Wednesday of last week. We are getting reports that hundreds of people showed up to the Hyatt and were told that the show was cancelled or that the show had been moved to the Diplomat (both incorrect). If you were told on Friday or Saturday that the Twi-Life show had been cancelled or moved to the wrong hotel, please send us an email at fantasytwilifetour@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to tell us your story. Our show tanked, our reputation was tarnished and hundreds of fans were hurt by this situation and we want to document every single complaint.
We went into a frenzy on Thursday to salvage the show. Please know that we could have cancelled and walked away, but we fought with every fiber of our beings to keep this show alive. We still see you, the fans, as our number one priority. We sacrificed our savings and risked everything to try to make this show happen. We're a lot like you guys. We're fans too. We understand. We just ask that you give us a chance to address your concerns one at a time before you address those concerns in a public forum like Facebook, Twitter or message boards. We are inclined to help. Just give us a chance to find a good solution for you"
