Britney Spears doesn’t have the same pull she once had over fans during her world tours, at least that appears to be the case in the UK where her Birmingham concert slated for October 30 has failed to sell out or even come close to selling out.
While Spears would have had no problem selling out the 16,000 seat LG Arena in her early days one ticket seller says of the current ticket sales situation:
“It’s probably about half-full. There’s good availability.”
The lack of buyers comes after 500 standing tickets remain unsold and 11 entire seat blocks are still available even after promoters dropped ticket pricing from £30 down from £55 through social selling website Groupon.
Speaking about the Groupon deal concert promoter LiveNation said:
“Offering a deal on Groupon is not a reflection of the quality or status or sales of a show.”
Promoters haven’t even been able to give away tickets through their buy 10 get two free deal.
Called her “flashiest show” yet by Rolling Stone the Femme Fatale concert tour includes eight UK dates.
Would you be willing to purchase 10 Britney Spears tickets just to get two free? That deal seems more like a win for ticket brokers than fans who might want to attend the concert with 11 of their closest friends.
