The Voice UK 2012 live tour ‘could be cancelled’

The Voice UK 2013

The Voice UK 2012 live tour could be cancelled after low ticket sales, it has been claimed today.

A live arena tour for the show was announced back when 11 million viewers were tuning into the show, but a decline in interest has seen the concert promoters struggling to shift tickets.

The Daily Mirror report that some performances could now be cancelled, with few fans sticking up the £40 fee per ticket.

“Do they really think that they can sell 160,000 tickets at £40 a pop when they couldn’t even keep people watching on the telly for free?” one supposed expert told the newspaper. “Everyone is anticipating huge problems with this.”

They added: “Britain’s Got Talent had to admit defeat and pull the plug on the live tour in 2011 because the tickets hadn’t sold – and their ratings were higher and more consistent than The Voice’s.”

The live tour features all of the final eight contestants – Leanne Michell, Bo Bruce, Vince Kidd, Max Milner, Becky Hill, Tyler James, Jaz Ellington and Ruth Brown – and starts in September at Bournemouth’s International Centre.

There are also dates at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s MEN complex.

Tickets currently remain on sale from ticketmaster.co.uk.

The voice despite the hype was a total heap of crap. The only judge with any cred was Tom Jones the rest what can I say? These talent shows are a waste of time and being honest somewhat boring they are like marmite and I for one hate marmite..The only good thing to come of this is that we will not be subjected to this drivel again!!!!
