Ella Langley Cancels Tulsa Concert Over Security Threat
Ella Langley cancelled her Friday night concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over a serious security threat.
The country singer had been due to perform on 9 October at the BOK Center. News of the cancellation broke only hours before showtime. It leaves ticket holders waiting for refund details.
The announcement was made in a statement posted to Langley's Instagram and other social media accounts shortly before 5 p.m. CT, Billboard reported. Central Time is the local time in Tulsa. The timing meant many fans would already have been preparing to travel to the venue.
The statement described the issue as a serious security threat. It said the safety of fans, venue personnel and the artist was at stake. No performance will go ahead on the scheduled night.
Langley said the call was not made lightly. She said the safety of fans mattered more than anything else. That message was carried in the posts shared by the singer's team.
Ticket refund information will be forthcoming, the announcement said. People who bought tickets have been told to wait for a further update. No date or process for refunds has yet been confirmed.
The BOK Center shared the same cancellation post on its social media. At the time of reporting, the venue's website did not carry a cancellation notice. Fans checking the website would therefore have needed to look to social media for confirmation.
The Tulsa date had been listed for Friday night, Fox23 reported. Langley is a country singer, KJRH reported. The cancellation applies to the 9 October show at the BOK Center only, on the information released so far.
For fans, this means plans change at short notice. A late cancellation can mean travel, parking and childcare arranged for nothing. The promise of a refund update will matter more than the apology in the next few days.
Venues and artists usually confirm refunds through the original point of sale. That detail has not yet been given here. Ticket holders will need the next post on those same official accounts to learn how and when to claim money back.
