Not Everyone Is Happy About New US Tour Dates

Source: Sarah Tamulevich mrtamulevich@snet.net

Hello! As most of you know, the Backstreet Boys' US tour dates for the Millenium tour have been
announced. I'm sure most of you are excited to finally have the information and are looking forward to
buying your tickets. However, some people (myself included) are very disappointed. It has come to my
attention that a few states have been left out. For example, I live in Connecticut and there is not a show
booked there. Neither is there one in Rhode Island, and from a friend of mine I heard that there is not
one in Texas either (I may ben misaken about Texas, but the other two I am sure about). I find this to be
an outrage, to put it honestly. There are 3 very large arenas in Connecticut where the show could be held,
and I find it hard to believe that the Boys' show could not be booked in any of them. Now, please don't
e-mail me and accuse me of blaming the Backstreet Boys' themselves for this. To tell you the truth, I
have no idea who to blame, although I wish I knew. But I thought that with new management the Boys'
were gaining more control over their lives, and that they had more say in issues that concern their shows
and etc. I just plain don't understand why certain states were overlooked in this huge United States tour.
Florida has 3 separate shows, one to start off the tour and two to end it. Connecticut doesn't even have
one show! I think that for all that the Boys' fans do for them, and for all the love and support we show
them, they should have at least one show in each state. Now, this does not change my feelings about the
Boys' music. But I am very angry and upset that I have to drive out of state to buy tickets to one of their
concerts, and then drive back again for the actual concert. My point is this (and I know you've all been
waiting for my point, lol): if you are also angry about this display of events, e-mail me. I'd like to get a
bunch of people to send letters to BSB and complain about this, or at least get to the bottom of it. I love
the Backstreet Boys, and I know they love their fans, so I believe that we deserve an explanation.
