Curiosity: Roxette new tickets sales are going more than expected. In less than 30 minutes more than 3,000 tickets was sold.

“We were very surprised when we heard that the Anderstorp weekend had been cancelled since the ticket sales had been so good. We know that many fans from around the world had bought tickets and in order not to disappoint them, we will play in Brottet in Halmstad and we will offer a firework of hits in the halland summer grass,” say Marie and Per from Roxette.

THE RACE LEGENDS EVENT CANCELLED

World:

The upcoming "The Race Legends" event at Anderstorp raceway got cancelled due to financial problems of the organizers. It was meant to be the biggest event for the site since the 70s. According to some fonts, Roxette concert tickets had sold much more than the tickets to the raceway. Out of 15,000 tickets sold for The Race Legends, over 9,800 were only bought for Roxette gig.
The Race Legends organisation was marked with confusion and failures from the beginning. There was a public dispute about the accepted ticket resellers.

In an interview for Swedish newspaper, Per Gessle said: “We were shocked when we heard about Anderstorp cancellation.”
Roxette Management said they will mantain the concert but in another city due to so many fans coming from abroad.
"This is a big event where fans come from South America and the rest of the world and of course we did not want to disappoint them", continued Per.
The city from the new Roxette gig would probably be their home town, Halmstad, in the South of Sweden, known as "The Swedish Liverpool" as many swedish artists, including Roxette, came from there.

Sudamérica:

Brasil:
O evento "The Legends Race" no autódromo de Anderstorp foi cancelado devido a problemas financeiros dos organizadores. Era pra ser o maior evento do local desde os anos 70. De acordo com algumas fontes, os ingressos para o show do Roxette venderam muito mais do que os ingressos para a corrida. Dos 15 mil ingressos vendidos para o evento, mais de 9800 só foram comprados para o show do Roxette.
A organização da corrida foi marcado pela confusão e falhas desde o início. Houve uma disputa pública sobre os revendedores de bilhetes aceite.

Em entrevista a um jornal sueco, Per Gessle diz: "Ficamos chocados quando soubemos do cancelamento de Anderstorp".
A produtora do Roxette afirmou que irá manter o show, mas em outra cidade, devido a presença de fãs do mundo inteiro.
"Este é um grande evento onde os fãs vêm da América do Sul e do resto do mundo e é claro que não queria decepcioná-los", continua Per.
A cidade do novo show do Roxette será, provavelmente, a sua cidade natal, Halmstad, no sul da Suécia, conhecida também como "a Liverpool da Suécia", como muitos artistas suecos, incluindo o Roxette, vieram de lá.
