Britney sells off O2 tickets for £2

Posted Tue 9 Jun 2009 12:17PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist

Tickets for Britney's London shows were sold off at the bargain price of £2 following poor sales according to The Sun newspaper.

The VIP tickets for her O2 gigs had originally been on sale at £100 but organisers decided to drastically slash the price in a bid to fill seats.

Promoters preferred to take a loss on the ticket price rather than risk the embarrassment of empty seats on the night.

The megastar received a mixed reception at the O2 arena last week with some critics delivering scathing reviews over Britney's alleged lip-synching.

A source told The Sun: "The shows on the weekend still had a number of unsold tickets by the end of last week."

"They all went, but taking a £98 hit on each sale wasn't particularly pleasing for anyone concerned."

Britney has three more dates at London's O2 before heading to Manchester which closes the UK leg of her tour.

Britney was past it 5 years ago, sure she has die hard fans but do they matter? She can't keep going being successfull as she once was as the game has changed dramatically, her original fanbase are older and there are many more players on the field. In her new video she goes topless, and its distasteful and very sad of her to do so. Shes not the same Britney I fancied as a young teen. More like a big brother reject vying for attention.
She has plenty of money, I think she should refrain from making any more records, get married, open a nice business and enjoy life with her family.The music business will lead her to ruin, still time for her to repent.

She should stop after this tour and become a full time mum and get her head sorted!

i think brit should take some timeout, she didnt rest for very long and i think the pressure of the media and the paps should back off and leave her alone. also shes a good mum.

£2 sounds like a lot to watch lip syncing!

I agree that Britney is getting a bit long in the tutu. Her flabby body looks ridiculous in all those skimpy outfits. Grow up, girl - and realise with all those extra pounds your semi-naked flesh and bulging backside is NOT a pretty sight.

i love britney i think its amazing shes back but under her own mangegment. i think that people who diss her are silly as shes finally got her life back on track and your not helping one bit by slagging her off. You people should be ashamed of your selfs.

Brit had her day,she has bluffed her way for far too long and fair play to her,she just sold what the public wanted at the time,but that time has gone now.yes she should leave it behind now,raise her kids and enjoy her millions.and Britney if you get to read this,the best if luck to you in the future.

£2 is a little steep to pay when she mimes to her so called hits
she should do use all a favour and go in to retirement
