Carey struggling to sell tickets in Las Vegas

Mariah Carey may have been voted the most successful artist of all time in 2019, but her ticket sales are saying otherwise, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.

Carey, 49, is planning a Las Vegas residency titled "The Butterfly Returns" in February with eight dates listed. But it seems the superstar singer is failing to sell out with nearly half of ticket sales still available for each show.

For the February 14 and 15 shows at Caesars Palace, which are weekends shows, over 1,200 tickets still remain. And the weekday concerts are even worse. On Wednesday, February 19, a whopping 80 percent of tickets remain available.

The highest ticket sold at her concerts run for an average of $100. In comparison, singer Ariana Grande's worldwide "Sweetener" tour sold out in just minutes at an average $275 per ticket.

Meanwhile, it is unclear if this will mean that Carey will be forced to cancel some of her shows. Carey's struggle to sell tickets comes despite riding high in the charts and being named one of Billboard's most successful artists of all time.

She was voted "Billboard's first-ever performer to have #1 in each of the last four decades".

However, this isn't the first time Carey has had her share of troubles in the past when it comes to tickets. During her summer 2018 Las Vegas residency, ticket sales were also low, that they were being sold at discount sites such as StubHub and Seat geek.

Might be a good time to take a break and for her to craft new music. She does have all those extra dependents to clothe and feed though, so we might see the same cycle as the last few years.

First of all, I don't think it is fair to compare a world tour with a Las Vegas residency. Nor is it far to compare artists that are so far apart in the length of their careers like Ariana and Mariah. They should compare Mariah's residency numbers with other Las Vegas residencies or Ariana's world tour numbers to Mariah's world tour numbers when she was Ariana's age

Oh, and of course, I forgot to mention that they also will have to factor in inflation if they do try to compare Mariah's world tour numbers from way back then to Ariana's world tour numbers now. Anyway, shame on the person who wrote this low quality article on Radar Online.
