Mariah Carey 'struggling to sell tickets for upcoming tour' following her disastrous New Year's gig
Mariah Carey's upcoming tour hasn't exactly been a sell-out success.
Page Six has reported that the pop star is having trouble offloading tickets for her All The Hits tour with Lionel Richie.
The story seems to be supported by the fact Ticketmaster is currently offering a two-for-one deal on the diva's tour tickets.
Slow sales: Ticket sales for Mariah Carey's upcoming tour with Lionel Richie are reportedly so small that Ticketmaster is currently selling them as a two-for-one deal
The site advertises the promotional price as a great Valentine's Day gift, telling customers to 'grab a ticket for you and your special someone … all for the price of one.'
One big reason the 46-year-old's tour sales might be stale is because of her messy performance at this year's New Years Eve ball drop in Times Square.
During the performance, Mariah was caught stumbling through her repertoire, dancing lazily, and even lip syncing at moments.
Different stories: One of the star's reps attempted to squash the rumor of poor sales, telling reporters 'ticket sales are beyond great' and that 'fans are in for a real treat'
After the debacle, Mariah was quick to defer any and all blame for the poor gig to those backstage at the broadcast.
'It’s a shame that we were put into the hands of a production team with technical issues, who chose to capitalize on circumstances beyond our control.'
She also added 'Listen guys, they foiled me. [The night] turned into an opportunity to humiliate me and all those who were excited to ring in the new year with me.'
A rep for the artist denies the artist is having any trouble selling tickets, telling outlets 'Mariah is working enthusiastically with Live Nation and Lionel’s team to put together an outstanding tour.'

The rep also added that sales for the 35 city tour 'are beyond great,' and that 'fans are in for a real treat.'
In addition to the disappointing tour news, Maraih has been having trouble on the charts. Last week Carey dropped a single with rapper YG called I Don't.
The song was met with lukewarm enthusiasm, debuting at No. 6 on iTunes but later slipping to No. 73 at the time of this article.
