Teenager's £800 James Arthur Concert Trip Cancelled
10 Feb
Summary
- A superfan flew 13 hours from Bangkok to see James Arthur perform.
- The teenager spent over £800 on flights and tickets for the concert.
- The concert was cancelled just hours before it was scheduled to start.
A British teenager's elaborate plans to see singer James Arthur perform were dashed when the concert was cancelled at the last minute. Yasmine Labidi, 18, flew for 13 hours from Bangkok, Thailand, to the UK specifically for the concert, spending a total of £843 on airfare and four tickets.
The opening night of Arthur's 25-date tour at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on February 3rd was postponed hours before it was set to begin. Yasmine discovered the cancellation via an email citing James Arthur's ill health. This decision left her disappointed, particularly given the effort and expense involved in her travel.
Determined to see her idol, Yasmine has decided to remain in the UK until a new concert date is announced, expressing her deep admiration for the artist. She has seen him perform three times previously and even brings gifts for him and his daughter to concerts, a tradition she shares with her family.
The article also briefly mentions other fans going to extreme lengths to see artists like Harry Styles, noting the high ticket prices for his upcoming shows compared to the cost of a holiday.
