As today’s online edition of New Zealand Herald informs – Roxette promises to return to NZ.
Swedish pop act Roxette has promised to return for long-suffering fans who were disappointed by last night’s cancellation.
Roxette were scheduled to play Auckland’s Vector Arena but scrapped the show with just 48 hours’ notice after guitarist Per Gessle fell ill on his flight from Stockholm.
Roxette’s manager Thomas Johansson told the Herald on Sunday last night: “Sales were sitting around the 6500 mark for the Auckland gig and we were really pleased with that.” She plans to tour at a later date.
Promoters Live Nation said all tickets booked online or by phone would be refunded. Ticketmaster tickets should be taken back to the vendor with the credit card used to buy them.

ROXETTE CANCEL AUCKLAND CONCERT
Thursday 9 February 2012
Live Nation regret to advise that Roxette have been forced to cancel their New Zealand concert, which was to be held at Auckland’s Vector Arena this Saturday, February 11 2012.
Per Gessle of Roxette fell ill during his flight from Stockholm to Auckland and has been forced to rest for several days to prepare for the remainder of the tour.
Despite the best efforts of all involved with the tour, it has not been possible to schedule an alternative date for the Auckland show within the already demanding tour schedule.
The tour will resume as scheduled in Brisbane on Tuesday February 14.
What now?
For all tickets booked online or by phone, the credit card used in the booking will automatically be refunded. Please allow up to five working days to receive your refund.
If your booking was made at a Ticketmaster outlet, please return to the original outlet with your ticket(s) and the credit card used to purchase, to obtain your refund.
UPDATE from Roxette’s managment
Per got a crazy stomach ailment on the plane down there, so he is dehydrated and needs to rest and get better.
