Omaha Concert Postponed. Spring 2009 Tour Possibility?

Some curious news on the upcoming Fall tour.

From Omaha World-Herald:

Neil Young fans will have to wait to see him in Omaha.

The singer’s Nov. 5 concert at the Qwest Center Omaha has been postponed until spring due to "routing logistics," concert promoter Live Nation announced Wednesday afternoon.

A new date has yet to be determined, David Gerardi, Live Nation’s Midwest market manager, said Wednesday.

Gerardi said he wasn’t sure why Young is rescheduling the Omaha show. He also doesn’t know when a new date will be announced.

He encouraged fans who purchased tickets to hold on to them and use them for the new date.

Those who want a refund can go to the point of purchase beginning Thursday. Those who purchased tickets by phone or online with a credit card through Ticketmaster, can call Ticketmaster at 422-1212.

So bummer for Omaha. Looking at Roel's tour map we can't discern how there could be "routing logistics" between Kansas City and Omaha given that it's only 166 miles apart (according to the map's cool interactive features) and Omaha is the last stop of the leg?

If there's a silver lining here it is that there appears to another U.S. tour planned for next spring. The never ending tour continues!

Thanks Matt & Liane!
