The Indianapolis, Detroit, Seattle, Denver and Foxborough rounds have now been confirmed as cancelled altogether by Feld Entertainment.

“Event ticket refund information can be located on the venue or ticketing website. If you purchased your tickets elsewhere, contact your point of purchase directly.
