Poor ticket sales and diva demands cancel Mariah Carey’s Hong Kong
By M&C News Oct 26, 2006, 14:51 GMT
Promoters have cancelled R&B diva Mariah Carey’s Hong Kong concert due to poor ticket sales and due to the singer’s "unreasonable demands." The singer was set to take the stage at an outdoor space close to Hong Kong’s Central financial district.
Concerts Asia, the promoters bringing Carey to the orient, posted a message on their company website stating:
"As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert, we have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans,."
The promoters have not stated what the exact demands that the diva put on the concert, but have stated that only 4,000 tickets had been sold even after an extensive campaign to spread the word about Carey’s upcoming appearance.
