Below are the statements for canceling both concerts from the band, and a statement from the Russian concert organizer, TOPconcert. Take from them what you want. I'm still not sure what to think about it...
Band's statement on canceling St. Petersburg show on March 8th:
Due to a very material contractual breach and violation by the local promoter, it is not justifiable to perform the St. Petersburg show today. The band has tried everything to make the show happen, but with no luck! We feel terribly sorry for the fans, but the situation left us no other option. The band is really looking forward to perform for their Russian fans in Moscow and working to make the show happen!
Band's statement on canceling Moscow show on March 10th:
The local promoter has once again materially breached and violated the contract. Under these given circumstances, it is not possible for us to let the band play the show in Moscow. The band has now brought all meet and greet winners to their Hotel, and met their fans there. After giving autographs to the waiting crowd outside of the Hotel, Tokio Hotel had to leave Moscow. Our heartfelt apologies to all Russian fans and the band.
Organizer, TOPconcert's, statement on canceling both shows:
TH's management initiated the cancellation of the concerts. The Russian promoter had met the conditions necessary for the concerts to go ahead. These included financial commitments to the band and to its contractors.
We insist that the Russian promoter is not to blame in wrecking the concerts, as the band's management would not have started the show in St.Petersburg with the performance of supporting group, Pro100Мария. If the promoter, TOPconcert, had been at fault, they would have announced to the audience the problems they faced and would not have left for Moscow.
The only comment published by the band's management was an ambiguous version of events. Moreover, the band and its management flatly refused to give any comments and explanations to the Russian media.
This isn't the first time tours and concerts have been canceled by the band. Tatyana Dalskaya, director of TOPconcert, has successfully organized all previous visits of the band to Russia, including the very first concert outside of Germany.
We extend our sincerest apologies to all Russian fans for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by the cancellation of concerts. We will make every effort to ensure that full refunds are offered on all purchased tickets
