Usher Chris Brown Concert Cancellation Affects Cincinnati Show

The Usher and Chris Brown concert scheduled for Oct. 24 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati has been canceled by the event organizer after select dates from The R&B Tour were removed, according to Ticketmaster and local reports. Fans will receive refunds through their original payment methods.

The canceled Cincinnati event was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 24, at the home of the Cincinnati Bengals. Ticketmaster said refunds should appear within 14 to 21 days after being processed.

According to WCPO, the cancellation followed a decision by the event promoter to remove several upcoming tour dates. Other canceled stops included Indianapolis and Columbia, South Carolina, while some other scheduled cities remained listed on the tour website.

Ticketmaster explained the decision in an email sent to affected customers.

"Following an extensive run of sold-out stadium shows on one of the year's biggest tours, the event promoter has made the difficult decision to cancel select upcoming dates on the R&B Tour to prioritize the health and well-being of the touring party and crew," Ticketmaster said in an email.

The email said the tour adjustments were intended to allow the remaining shows to continue while addressing demands on the touring operation.

"Significant" Ticketmaster said in an email describing the demands of the tour.

Ticketmaster also said the changes were designed to keep the tour operating in a sustainable manner.

"Safely and sustainably" Ticketmaster said in an email explaining the adjustments.

Ticketmaster addressed fans affected by the canceled dates and outlined the refund process for transferred tickets as well as original purchases.

"We sincerely apologize to fans affected by these cancellations and appreciate their understanding," Ticketmaster said in an email.

Neither Usher nor Chris Brown had posted statements about the cancellations in the reports available, and the reason for the changes was not separately detailed by the artists or tour website.
