Britney Is No Match For The Economy!

Filed under: Britney Spears

wenn-spears.jpg

Uh-oh, first the ECONOMY ate The New Kids on the Block and now it's going after Britney Spears!

Tickets for the second US leg of Britney's Circus are said to be selling sloooooowly.

And, as of now, not a single one of her shows on the 2nd leg have sold out.

If not even Britney's recession proof, what hope is left for us?!

    I'd guess her tickets are pretty high? Personally, there is no budget for that kind of thing right now. Most of us are totally broke or at least stretched pretty badly at the moment. I'm sick of hearing that the economy is turning around because I don't see it at all where I live.



  2. 2

    Oh no.



  3. 3

    Well she better not cancel her Boston show cuz I got front row seats. lol



  4. 4

    YES! Britney tickets are sooo expensive!!!



  5. 5

    Well, DUH, it's her SECOND loop back through these SAME states she already passed through just 2 months ago. I've never heard of an artist circulating back through the states like this on a tour?? Everyone who wanted to see her already did, right? (including me)



  6. 6

    I don't think it's the economy, yall!



  7. 7

    maybe her and hagdonna should make out again…



  8. 8

    ummmmmm maybe because she cant fucking sing? Why does she even have a microphone? Why bother lip syncing like crap when everyone knows she cant sing? and I love how when ppl bash her they say the person is jeleous…..who the hell would be jeleous of some psycho who shaved her head and went nuts like her in the public eye? No class and no talent! Anyone could look fit like her if they had all day to do it! Please Brit be a good mother and go away!



  9. 9

    Why pay $150 to hear her lip synch when you can pay $9.99 for the download? Same goes for Hagdonna. Why pay $300 when you can go to a nursing home and watch elderly women shit themselves for free?



  10. 10

    your not on the light side either you cow



  11. 11

    Well maybe if the good tickets didnt sell for $500 it would sell faster.. Ever think of that Britney's PEOPLE!?!?!?!?! Seriously.. Who here in El Paso, Texas.. The butthole of America, has that kind of money. I realize, YES, we are a military city.. BUT COME ON.. we are not made of money. Lower your prices please. I really wanted to see the show on Sept 21st for my birthday and now I wont be able to.. cuz I can't effin afford it.



  12. 12

    OMG… what is she wearing? www.missperfectblonde.com



  13. 13

    Britney seriously needs to retired.

  14. DALE says – reply to this

    Who wouldn't watch a lip-synching talentless person dance to pre-recorded souless pop music?



  15. 15

    Perez, ur everywhere now huh. I keep seeing u on the previews for the new degrassi movie. sheesh. Oh, and poor britney :(



  16. 16

    i bet black eyed peas could sell out a tour right about now…..



  17. 17

    of course they arent selling .. britney charges practically $200 for her tickets while on the other hand lady gaga only charges $20 and she puts on a way better show!



  18. 18

    if she came in Greece, I'm sure it would have been sold out!



  19. 19

    Monkey love should get a life honestly; but i love Britney's crazy ass. Haha, and her outfit, not so much.



  20. 20

    Hope for us, always. For Britney, not so much. At her ticket prices, or even for free, who wants to see her out of shape ass rehash the Madonna circus spectal from a few years ago?? Learn to save not shave Brit. Your gonna need it to send those boys to auto mechanic school.



  21. 21

    Funny that AC/DC has no problem selling out all their shows. You may just be listening to crap music



  22. 22

    I was one of those who wanted to see her but couldnt get tickets. However, after watching parts in YouTube, i am not interested anymore as all I saw was someone who pretends to sing and can't even dance. I'd rather see another performer who respects the audience. Britney seems to be detached from her fans. A big NO.



  23. 23

    Maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that she sucks… but I doubt it.



  24. 24

    some of her tickets go for $575 a piece! no wonder they havent sold out.



  25. 25

    Re: RobPnMeShouldB – did you see the video on t_m_z? shows pnasty being an asshole and getting what he deserved. nothing like the way he described it, lmao. lots of boom boom pow…



  26. 26

    Everyone finally caught on that she lip syncs, has nothin to do with the economy.



  27. 27

    .
    Don't blame the crappy economy entirely.
    Maybe some of us won't pay big dollars for lip-synched songs and
    cheap, ill-fitting costumes!!



  28. 28

    will see



  29. 29

    if she'd come back through kansas city i'd see her again!



  30. 30

    THATSZ GOOD 4 NOW IT GIVES ME TIME 2 BUY MY TICKET!



  31. 31

    Can't understand who in their right mind would pay anything the first time around to watch her lip sync and hand dance.



  32. 32

    There is no hope left! :) Saw her in London and it was worth every penny but I couldn't spend that sort of money again!



  33. 33

    She has her own money from "before"………..this isn't going to break her.



  34. 34

    It's not the economy. It's the fact that she doesn't even sing! Who would pay any money to see that crap. Concert? Better rethink that name.



  35. 35

    like omfg i bough front row seats at row E at the hollywood BOWL and britney better show! Jk Jk i love her she is so awesome i only meet her in person like a one on one conversation in 2003!=] but hey its all just gossip right? the economy hasnt hit me and my family in beverly hills or malibu!



  36. 36

    I'm seeing her in Vegas and I can't wait, even though it involves flying from the PNW just to see her again!



  37. 37

    At least she is making cash - who the fuck is gonna remember you in ten years to come…

    When people mention mario the only two things that may spring to mind is 1. cry baby fuck and 2. a fucking ass kicking.



  38. 38

    Well she shouldnt be so greedy in touring the US again why didnt she go to Asia instead??? She'dve SOLD OUT in a shot over there!!



  39. 39

    look at the first few blogs on this page and you say that Kristen Stewart is icky, you say Kristen Bell has cellulite, you joke about Stephen Baldwin losing his home and the only nice thing you say in thoe first few posts is how beautiful Lourdes is. These are mild. I watched your pathetic video, my god, crying? really? You got what you deserved. You need to stop being so vicious and jealous, and just nasty. This I think will be a trend. You need to protect yourself. i certainly don't want to turn on the news and hear of your demise. You are an antagonist. You are hateful. Words are painful. Especially to performers. I really don't like you Perez and I think this really happened later than I had anticipated. Violence is wrong but you can only kick a dog so many times before he'll bite your ass.



  40. 40

    i wouldnt say its the recession, people that wanted to go would have gone the first time around!



  41. 41

    My friend said I shouldn't pay over 40 dollars for her ticket so if they take a 100 off the price I will go. Seriously chica needs to put a foot down and tell ticketMASTERofHELL to lower the prices. Seriously I partially blame them for the ticket price and partially blame her camp.



  42. 42

    THANK GOD!!!! THAT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!!!

    I'M SURE MADONNA WILL COME TO THE RESCUE AND SHOVE THAT DUMB BITCH DOWN OUR THROATS AGAIN……………………………………



  43. 43

    People are starting to realize the tickets prices are a bit steep for a bobble head to come on stage and lip synch and dance around with that dead eye look.



  44. 44

    The truth is this show has played out, the greed of sending the show on a second leg is just what it is; stupid. The show was good but why let it end on a negative note by milking it for too much. The second run lacks dignity and Britney should fire whoever made the decision to continue



  45. 45

    Two words: Lip Sync - as soon as I heard that about her shows, I knew they were worthless. The first bunch of tickets sold before the cat got out of bag, but now everyone knows, this isn't a concert, it's just a lip sync fashion show.

    Bye Britney… time's up. Either have talent as a singer or go off to do Dacing with Stars.



  46. 46

    Aaawwww snaap

  47. 6one9 says – reply to this


    47

    She fucking LIPS her whole fucking show!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn't even PAY me to go see that shit!!!!!!!! Plus she sounds like a robot the way they mix her voice up.



  48. 48

    if she would come to columbus or cincinnati ohio i would see her again and her show is amazing and she sang live when i seen her live the first time around it was a great show and it would sell out



  49. 49

    obviously it wont be a sell out like the other concert but they will sell out soon…according to ticket master the pre-sale sold out and that they are selling faster than other performers like Beyonce etc. STAPLES CENTER, LOS ANGELES is almost all gone….only the second level and third level are left….i know she will sell out by august for sure.



  50. 50

    Why o why you hate Britney so much Perez? Why all the negative publicity against her? She has never harmed you , has she? her tickets are selling fine. She is the queen of pop. Deal with that, you self proclaimed Queen of bloggers.



  51. 51

    Perez doesn't hate all these people he dumps on. He hates himself and knows that he will never, ever be what these people are. (which isn't much)



  52. 52

    Hey Perez! I can tell you why we aren't going to see Britney this time around and it has NOTHING to do with the economy.

    Last time we saw Britney in concert, she only performed for around 45 minutes. The rest of the time was spent waiting, or listening to her pimp for Nokia. It was like a giant Nokia/Pepsi commercial that we unfortuantely paid for.



  53. 53

    well, they start to sell her tickets only 3 days ago. and since its her 2nd leg in USA, its obvious that will sell slowly. but the information that i have is the oposite, the best places are sold out and only left the poor ones in some places. obviously she will not sell well in some places, because its her 2nd leg, as I said, but she will do well. better than beyoncé, and others. its de #1 tour of the year.

    I think Madonna's recession proof.

  56. 56

    they will probably sell out closer to the date of the shows…she has nothing to prove, she already had a sold out north american tour so I'm sure it won't be the worst if she can't sell out all the shows.



  57. 57

    Re: ih8brit – you are clearly jealous!!

  58. biddy says – reply to this


    58

    Lip synching, no-talent, whore show is soooooooooooooooooo 1990s. They got their last kick at the can, now she can go officially Garland. Bye Bye Bitch!



  59. 59

    well looks like Madonna is still the only huge sell out draw in the WORLD ! Good for Madge !



  60. 60

    I'm sorry your comparing britney spears to the new kids in the block tour. That just shows how biased you are. If you like an artist you always faver them if they are not your "wifey/ gaga" then you hate on them like Fergie/ BIP and Britney cause they are better/in the way of then gaga. That's why you are always saying can't believe the BIP's song is #1 because you want love game on that spot.
    Have some respect BS HAS the #1 tour this year, she sold it out in N America and Europe. During a world recession and tickets at a high price. Now she's doing a second round and her tickets are selling as per Ticketmaster and presale tickets are sold out, also. Plus they just went on sale on Friday. Stop the hating.

    Um this story is BULLSHIT. Why do you keep making all this crap up, Perez?? Britney's concerts are selling like hotcakes. Deal with it. And stop spreading lies.



  64. 64

    BRITNEY COME TO TORONTO AGAIN PLEASE



  65. 65

    Perez and his big mouth is no match for Black Eyed Peas
    search for blackeyedperez on cafepress



  66. 66

    IDIOT! Don't you get a percentage of her tour sales??? Maybe some don't want to see you in her show… shut it fucktard!



  67. 67

    She is not Madonna!



  68. 68

    no one wants 2 pay good money for shitty seats just 2 c a crappy non live show….give me a break my friend got us tickets and i can honestly say i should have just stayed home and watched old britney videos….i mean it could have well just been someone else on stage in a brit wig…she doesnt have large screens for those of us in the nose bleed seats and even those seats where overpriced for gods sake…whatever beside all that money is just going to k-fed anyway and who wants to support his fucking lard ass!

    69

    I'll tell you who IS recession-proof.

    Miss Kylie Minogue, that's who.



  70. 70

    it is because the tickets are so stupidly expensive…even in the best economy i would not pay 200 for crappy seats and i love britney…but no way. rude to charge so much.



  71. 71

    All I know is that I really wanted to go to the show in Pittsburgh and it was sold out so quickly!:(



  72. 72

    thats because the second leg of her us tour the prices are DOUBLE what they were,i paid 500 dollars for a pair of tix the first time around,those same tix are now 1200 dollars…so no surprise here.



  73. 73

    While the VIP seats are going for $500 (even Madonna's are only $350), I got EXCELLENT seats in Greensboro for only $100. Ninth row lower level RIGHT in front of the center ring.
    While she is running back through some of her most popular markets, this time, she is coming to markets she hasn't been since the Hit Me Baby Tour!
    The thing with my market, is that if they don't sell they cancel, Janet Jackson and Fleetwood Mac have done this in the last few month. That sucks!



  74. 74

    Well if you think about it.

    Her first northamerician tour was SOLDOUT and made 61.6 million dollars!

    Why would she have another north american tour??

    love her tho.. but i cnt afford to go(N)



  75. 75

    i must say britbabe, im a huge and dedicated fan.. but my friend took his wife in and 5th row was $2500 per person plus that bitchy mother in law spending ten grand including hotel and whatnot and having your mother in-law to an otherwise incredible eveing is so not right. no way.

    i love you but you have poor admirers also.



  76. 76

    Well yeah!

    Her first north american tour was SOLDOUT and made 64.6 million dollars!!

    Why would she come back to north america? Everyone that was dying to see her already has.. i would go again and but 500 dollars??! so expensive.

    She has nothing to prove!



  77. 77

    Re: LizardKinG – go fuck urself :) stupid bitch why dont u go suck ur dick instead of commenting on every britney article god stupid people



  78. 78

    u bitches they will be sold out soon !!! :)
