Reports say that Guns N Roses was supposed to play a concert on April 13, 2010 at Estadio El Ejército. The venue can accommodate more than 15,000 people, but only about 3,000 tickets had been sold!

The organizers of the concert said that they will announce within 72 hours how all those who purchased tickets can get a refund.
Just a few days ago, Guns N Roses’ April 9, 2010 concert at Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in San Jose, Costa Rica was cancelled as a result of a faulty stage setup. No one was injured in the stage wreckage.
Last month, GnR had to cancel a concert at Rio De Janeiro’s Apoteose Stadium when heavy rain caused a similar problem to their cancelled Costa Rica gig.
