Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour: Fans Scramble for New Tickets Amid Venue Changes

The Jonas Brothers' "Jonas 20: Living the Dream Tour" has undergone a sudden change of plans, as announced by the band recently. The group has decided to cancel their stadium concerts in six U.S. cities this summer, replacing them with shows in arenas or amphitheaters. The affected cities include Los Angeles (Dodgers Stadium), Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park), Detroit (Comerica Park), Dallas (Globe Life Field), Washington, D.C. (Nationals Park), and Chicago (Wrigley Field). The tour has also been renamed to "Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour," after their upcoming album of the same name. The updated list of tour dates was shared by the band in an Instagram post on June 16. The group explained that the tour is a celebration of 20 years of making music together and the launch of their new album, making it the most special performance they have ever done. However, the Jonas Brothers' fandom is unimpressed by the turn of events. While fans are disappointed about the sudden change in venues, they've also expressed frustration over how they were notified about it. Some fans claimed that they received emails from Ticketmaster with the word "Canceled" in bold before the Jonas Brothers released a statement about what was happening. Having to go through the whole process of purchasing tickets is another reason fans are upset about the change in venues, and some have even decided not to repurchase for the new venue. Fans also pointed out that some of the rescheduled venues aren't in the same vicinity as the previously-scheduled stadiums. One fan wrote on X, "the Jonas Brothers thinking I'd be willing to go back to Tinley Park to see them as if the year is 2010 again. What happens when they can't sell that out either? Tinley and Chicago are NOT THE SAME CITY!" Another added, "Not the Jonas Brothers show going from DC proper to Bristow, Virginia." Fans are also calling out the timing of the announcement. News of the canceled venues occurred on June 13, the same day the Jonas Brothers released their latest studio album, Jonas Brothers Live From the O2 London. The album's release, they believe, was used to deflect from the band's alleged need to reschedule the six shows due to low ticket sales. One fan noted the supposed irony of canceling stadium shows the same day they dropped a live album, writing on the band's subreddit, "Very ironic to me that the same day we get a live album, they cancel all the stadium shows to switch them to arenas. Like they knew it'd be a huge disappointment so they snuck it in alongside the new album." Despite the changes, fans are still eagerly awaiting the new tour dates and hoping for a successful performance from their favorite band. The band has assured fans that all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities, but with some venue changes to six shows only. Fans who purchased tickets to the now-canceled shows will receive a full refund, and those who bought their initial tickets via Ticketmaster will get first-priority presale access to tickets for the new venues. Presale tickets will be available on Wednesday, June 18, at 10 a.m. local time.
