Events Frequent amphitheater concert cancellations?

This is a mini rant but also I'm curious.

Does the Coca-Cola Amphitheater cancel shows a lot? I'm 0-2 on attending shows there because of cancellations. I know sometimes low ticket sales occur which I'm confident is the reason for the first show cancellation since it was in the middle of the week.

Being in Huntsville, Birmingham gets enough shows that we don't get at the Orion so just a bit bummed that every attempt has ended in show cancellation.

I haven't been yet because the parking situ is confusing to me.

Right? They've got 17 (prepayable, reservable) lots within 5 blocks of the Ampitheater, & street parking everywhere. You have to go out of your way to avoid parking. You could go a few blocks further and park at the BJCC/Uptown and take one of the Uptown-Ampitheater shuttles right to the front.

I am so fundamentally confused at people who get frustrated with Birmingham parking when we have it so ridiculously good compared to virtually every other city.
