Last night the flight problems started when we already boarded the plane to Vancouver and we were ready to go..
— Tiësto (@tiesto) October 28, 2013
It was too late to book a private jet because they need 4 hour notice and there were no other flight options.

Sorry Vancouver,I hope to make it up to you soon!

Tiesto was advertised as the headliner of the much-anticipated, 2-night Halloween event. Organizers promised to bring this year’s event to a new level to celebrate Dooms Night’s 10th anniversary, which largely centred around bringing the world renowned Dutch DJ to the event.
The cancellation marks the second time this month an international artist has cancelled a Vancouver performance. On Sunday, October 20, American rapper Kanye West postponed his Vancouver concert at Rogers Arena to Halloween – providing ticket holders, some traveling from as far away as Halifax, with merely a 4 hour notice.
West’s concert was postponed due to ‘unforeseen’ logistical and border crossing issues following his Seattle concert the night before.
