While Nicki is hot on the charts at the moment, people saw her at the Billboard Music Awards, and her performance was bashed so....

Exactly. Nicki's performances have been dragged too.

I think it's okay for these discounts though. It's the same as Troy & GaGa Amazon deciding to sell Born This Way for the price of Arizona Tea can. When it's more affordable, the public's more willing to buy. The difference will be people will continue to pay for this tour, not fly down in revenue.

I couldn't help myself earlier. I apologize to anyone who took it too seriously.

But in all seriousness, discount the **** out of these tickets. I've yet to buy my tickets (currently a very low-budget bitch), and I'd love to get good seats for a fraction of the price.

To be fair, it's not like Nicki's reviews are much better from what I've read.

Yes but Nicki's album has sold almost 1.5M copies in the US. That's huge for a support act. And thanks to her fun, crazy image she has a solid number of stans.

Cutting ticket deals isn't a sign of a struggling tour. The higher priced seats were outrageous, her label shouldn't have made them so expensive. Especially considering the likes of other touring peers give their shows at these same prices upfront. So I don't see that as a bad thing. The article shows the tickets were bought when they were more affordable.

I'm glad they also report on the positive aspects of the tour, though. It's a 50/50 article.

good post

Store merchandise is put up for sale all the time. Why not music merchandise as well?

I always think it's foolish to use discounts against our favs. If they all use it, according to hater's logic, all of our favs are a mess.

But since there was a maximum of 8 tickets allowed per sale, that means there could have been anywhere from 1,400 to 11,200 people getting into the arena under the half-price offer.

This man kills me, 1,400-11,200 tickets were unsold from the 1st show till groupon? Really? There is no way he has access to such information, LiveNation hasn't released any information to provide such logistics in a tally. I can see 1,400 tickets going on unsold till the discount, but sometimes tickets don't sellout till the week of the concert date. 11,200? BITCH PLEASE!!

The thing that is most funny, even with the discount on her tickets, the price to go to the Femme Fatale Tour is more than her contemporary counterparts. People and shady ass "journalists" tried this tactic last time with the Circus Tour, they cried "tickets aren't selling." "She's not going to sellout her opening date." "She's giving her tickets away for free." "The arena is half empty." But the gud sis, Pollstar and Billboard (boxscores) weren't having it and served the true tea, y'all know, the ones who truly have a firm assessment of how tours are fairing both domestically and worldwide.

It's all good, when the boxscores roll in, we'll have an assessment of how the tour is fairing.

Yeah the article pretty much makes no sense. He doesn't have any substantial figures. All he says is that one website listed tickets online at a reduced price and even then he has a pretty massive gap to work with. Between 1,400 and 11,000 tickets? That's why too large of a figure to even hold credibility. It more or less just masks the fact that he doesn't know how many tickets were sold and how many people bought the cheaper tickets.

He has no information on how many people took advantage of the offer which is the most important information in the story. If your going to say Britney's tour is in trouble you need to have that kind of information. Not to mention that these could just be scalpers looking to make a few bucks but got unlucky.

He basically made an article over the fact that there are cheaper tickets on Groupon. The only way we will be able to tell how the cheaper tickets effected the tour is when we get tour grosses, which LiveNation or whatever tour promoter she is under will release when they see fit. He gave little to no actual information. Not here for that.
