Re: Spice Girls comeback falls on its Headlines
Well, looks like my scenario described earlier has become reality.......
Promoters boasted of a sell-out tour, but it appears a number ticket holders had second thoughts about seeing the Spice Girls perform in concert last night.
Almost half of the seats in the Mandalay Arena auditorium were empty as the group took to the stage for their second show in Las Vegas.
Although WAG Coleen McLoughlin eagerly snapped up her spot and defeated boxer Ricky Hatton joined David Beckham in a private box, they didn't make up for the high number of vacant seats.
Still, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm played on with their now familiar routine.
It's not the first disappointment the Spice Girls have encountered since their reunion.
Their charity comeback single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) is the worst selling Children in Need song ever after it scraped into the UK midweek charts at No.10.
They were overshadowed by X Factor winners Leona Lewis & Shayne Ward, as well as pop princess Kylie Mingogue.
The Spice Girls play their last show in Las Vegas on Tuesday night before heading to New York.
----------------------------------------
That isn't fans refusing to go after buying tickets. All those empty seats represent scalpers holding tickets no one is interested in. This comeback has very little interest. Now everyone knows. No way in hell will there be a second leg of the tour in the US.
Re: Spice Girls comeback falls on its Headlines
Yeah, something really has to be done about this. Sure, the artists are getting their money anyways, but empty arenas kill any momentum an artist/band will possibly get. Its "sold out", yet all reviews of this tour will point to the fact that no one is there, thus killing the chance of them extending their tour and also causing even more fan disinterest.
Its a fucked up cycle that needs a solution ASAP.
The only artists/bands this shit doesn't effect are the "big dogs" like U2, the Stones, and now Zeppelin.
Everyone else will feel a sting from this shit.
M.I.A. wasn't affected, but thats because she played small clubs so had no problem getting asses in seats even though scalpers made a killing.
