Per Gessle has just answered fan’s questions on the Roxette’s Facebook page if the Colombian gig is cancelled . Unfortunately, he confirmed that.
Looks like the Col gig won’t happen this year. Some LiveNation issue I guess.
It is very likely that Chilean date will be included in the tour schedule between Quito and Lima concerts.
As our Australian reader – Celestte Thistlethwayte informs – Live Nation Australia & New Zealand is posting on the We Want Roxette to tour Australia Facebook page that there is more news on its way. Certainly they will not add more dates as the down under tour’s schedule is very tight. It might be meet & greet opportunity, DVD recording or… well, we’re only guessing 
All should be known on Sunday morning.

This news has just appeared in our mailbox. According to Daily Telegraph…
SWEDISH pop sensations Roxette have answered the call of their Australian fans and will perform a second Sydney Entertainment Centre concert on February 16.
Per Gessle said he and singer Marie Fredriksson had been stunned by the demand for tickets to their first Australian show in more than 15 years.
“The response to this whole tour has been crazy,” Gessle said. “We couldn’t really believe it when we heard the Sydney show had sold out because it has been so long.”
(…)
Tickets for the new concert go on sale on August 29.
Rumours have it that additional dates for Melbourne and Perth will be announced this weekend.
Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.
Live Nation Australia & New Zealand has posted a comment on the official Per Gessle Facebook page. Here is what they say:
This is all they have announced at present however the response has been quite incredible. Once they hear how things are going we’re hoping they’ll consider visiting other cities – we’d certainly like to take it further than the one show planned at the moment!

When not even Roxette’s own company Live Nation in the beginning of this year dared to believe that a concert of Roxette would sell enough, Biljett Nu went in into this business and financed the show. Our investment in Roxette was an absolutely right decision. See you in Halmstad!
Because of a dispute with Live Nation, there is a risk that you may be refused to enter the concert with these tickets. They argue that these tickets are not valid. We hope that this dispute will be resolved until August 14th.
We would like to also remind you that according to Live Nation and Per Gessle himself, tickets bought on Biljettnu.se after July 9th are not valid. Buy your tickets on www.ticnet.se

Biljettnu.se wants to sue Per Gessle for the interview he has given few days ago. Per Gessle answered to Biljettnu.se via Aftonbladet, “all information around the AC/DC gig that I gave to the media, I have received from various sources – including Live Nation”. He apologizes in case the information is incorrect, but is at the same time glad that these things come to the light thanks to media’s interest. “It is terrible that, for instance, a fan from Russia or Argentina saves up money to buy a ticket online, travels all the way to Sweden and cannot be admitted because the ticket is invalid,” he tells Aftonbladet.

Hallandsposten talks about the troubles with BiljettNu and LiveNation. You can read the article in Swedish on HallandPosten.se.
Aftonbladet also reports about this: We have contacted with our lawyer and we will sue them [Live Nation and Gessle?] for unfair imputation. They have no idea what they are talking about. None of what Per Gessle says is true, says Magnus Nilsson to Aftonbladet.
Taken from The Daily Roxette:
After the Roxette concert August 14 was moved to Halmstad, Biljett.nu are no longer authorized to sell tickets to the concert. However, LiveNation has found out that Biljett.nu still sells tickets to the concert – they will not be valid.
Tickets bought from Biljett.nu after July 9 are not valid for the concert. Tickets bought before July 9 are valid.
Three-day race tickets are not valid.
