The organizer should be ashamed. Sorry for everyone who had tickets. ? 
When I first read this new from one of the fan accounts on Instagram I literally thought they had just fallen for a rumor/fake news in really bad taste.

From the announcement it says that the draw to select the location for the football match was held last week. But still it makes zero sense to me that an event that has been planned for many months, for which thousands of tickets has already been sold, has to be cancelled because you did a last minute draw to decide the place of match for next month. For fuck's sake, move the date of your match by a couple of days, move the location, don't do a random draw where one of the options is a place that is already taken... I don't know, it feels like a problem that could have been at best avoided, and at worst at least solved. I'm sorry for anyone who had tickets. I know I would be super pissed (I mean, I'm pissed anyhow ?).

This must be devastating for Brazilian fans who can't afford to see them elsewhere. Really shitty of the organisers. Also, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm really not impressed with the way Green Day's social media people handle cancellations outside of the US. An Instagram story? You can't even make a permanent post like you did for Hershey? I'm not saying Green Day themselves need to comment (although it would be nice and wouldn't take much effort), but the management are literally paid to make social media posts. It wouldn't be difficult to try a bit harder. Switch the comments off if you're worried about angry fans. Sadly it's obvious that they think it doesn't matter as much as a high-profile show like the Hershey one.

For what a know from a spanish promoter, no. According to him, the AC/DC's 2015 World Tour was planned to start in Madrid at the Vicente Calderón stadium, everything (the schedule of the whole tour) was planned, Angus Young even signed all the papers and he was happy to start the tour in Spain. Then a football cup was raffled and it was selected the Vicente Calderón to do the match. Looks like the promoter tried everything to change that, but looks like it was impossible and the schedule of the whole tour was changed. The football is king, so it didn't surprised me when the news of this show appeared.

I think the interview where the promoter said that is here but I'm not so sure.

They should do BOTH at the same time, haha.   Green performing while a game goes on around them.
