History

Historical Context

In June 1977 the Rolling Stones cancelled their Madison Square Garden dates after Mick Jagger’s throat infection, ending the band’s first U.S. tour since July 1966 that had generated over $1 million in ticket sales. The 2026 postponement of Benson Boone’s Sacramento concert for vocal-cord strain echoes the same revenue-risk pattern, prompting venues such as Golden 1 Center to tighten refund policies for the roughly 1,500 ticket holders affected.
