BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhuanet)-- Pop star Britney Spears' comeback tour may not be a big hit, indicates sales of tickets still left in plenty for the first show tomorrow in New Orleans.
"Group sales are down considerably," says one person close to the production, "and then you've got individual tickets that cost as much as $500 apiece. That's a lot of money to spend on an artist who isn't a sure bet right now."
The source maintains that those who did pony up for seats won't be let down.
"She's worked really, really hard to make this good. Granted, there've been some hiccups along the way, but she's going to put on a good show. I just hope there are people there to see it," says the source. "This is really her last chance."
The tour is part of Britney's heavily orchestrated comeback from a string of personal problems and disastrous appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007.
