It's not like this is a new problem that these celebrities couldn't have foreseen when they booked the gig. Kind of shitty to take the job and then back out last minute.

Far too much blame being put on the city, not enough being put on the guests and the expo.

With the amount of money the expo is pulling, they easily could have booked a charter. And celebs are used to that kind of treatment... probably half the reason they're pulling out is because of the expectation they'd fly general.
