Katy Perry’s struggles with poor ticket sales and upcoming tour fears
Katy Perry, 40, rembarked on the Blue Origin space flight, becoming the first pop star to travel to space.
But the buzz surrounding her trip seems to have faded, as her upcoming U.S. tour is struggling to gain traction.
Perry, 40, recently launched her Lifetimes Tour in Mexico, but her upcoming U.S. dates are facing disappointing ticket sales.
The singer, famous for hits like California Gurls, hoped to emulate Taylor Swift’s success with the Eras tour.
However, sales have been underwhelming.
Ticket sales for Katy Perry’s tour show poor demand
Perry’s U.S. tour kicks off in Houston, Texas, in just two weeks.
However, official seat maps on Ticketmaster reveal numerous unsold seats across various venues.
In cities like Minneapolis and Denver, entire sections are still available, with resale tickets for her May 7 Houston date listed for over $50.
Concerns over low sales in cities like Oklahoma City and the steep price of VIP packages have added to the uncertainty. This has raised questions surrounding the tour.
Concers rise over Katy Perry’s tour amid cancelled shows
Katy Perry’s tour issues are compounded by the recent cancellation of two shows in Guadalajara, Mexico. A stadium delay caused these cancellations.
Perry expressed regret on social media, saying, “I wish I could fix this but it is beyond my control.” She promised fans future shows.
While, insider reveal low ticket sales have been a problem even before the Blue Origin Space flight.
Sources close to Perry claim that poor ticket sales were a problem long before her controversial Blue Origin flight, which took place earlier this year.
One insider revealed, “The sales were dismal. Katy believed her tour would take off like Taylor’s. But skepticism remained from higher-ups at Live Nation.”
Critics of her post-flight behavior, including her flower-waving gesture and dramatic statements, labeled her actions as tone-deaf.
This criticism was particularly strong given the ongoing space hardships faced by NASA astronauts.
Perry has not only faced criticism after her Blue Origin flight, but also concerns over ticket resale and VIP packages, which are still available amid growing worries about the tour.
Some shows, like Chicago on May 12, are showing signs of success.
However, VIP packages and resale tickets for many dates are still widely available.
This situation has raised concerns among fans and industry experts.
Some tickets are being listed for up to $1,000 on resale platforms
Katy Perry’s Blue Origin flight backlash adds to her struggling tour
\Perry’s publicized trip aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space flight only added to her woes.
She faced criticism and ridicule for her actions post-flight.
Upon landing, Perry held a daisy and proclaimed, “I’m super connected to love,” which many critics labeled “tone deaf” and “dramatic.”
Her space flight, part of an all-female crew, was meant to be a PR boost, but insiders now claim it backfired.
Following the flight, Perry’s attempt to gain sympathy and attention was met with backlash.
Critics pointed out her insensitive timing just after NASA astronauts returned from space.
Some insiders suggest Perry regrets the decision to publicize her space adventure, which she hoped would help her tour’s success.
