A sell out tour - maybe not!

[AB Asks]

The Spice Girls comeback was reported as a sell-out tour. However, last night's show in Vegas saw the five women perform to a half empty arena. Their single which was this year's Children in Need song only managed to reach number 10 which was the worst ever. What do you think? Is it time these girls threw in the towel and went back to being wives and mothers out of the spotlight?

The Daily Mail reported it was a half empty arena, but those that attended said it was full!

I don't think they should have got back together. But then I don't think they should have got together in the first place. I think they are rubbish and always have been. Just my opinion thugh.

They should realise that their time has long since passed...

[LoftyLottie]

Great minds and all that, gina!!

thugh is the new spelling of though, by the way.

[Pippa68]

Their 'new' single is 'Viva Forever' re-hashed.

We didn't need another one did we? mind you, Oasis got away with it for years ;o)

[LoftyLottie]

No once was enough, Pippa. LOL re Oasis - so true!

Not a Spice Girls fan, but just want to highlight the Daily Mail's usually biased reporting (lies).

"it appears a number ticket holders had second thoughts about seeing the Spice Girls perform in concert last night"

So, the Mail reckon that people who had bought tickets did not bother to turn up. Even if that is true (which is unlikely) that is still a sell out.

Toilet and refreshment facilities are notoriously slow at big Arenas, if the photo of the empty seats was taken a few minutes after they came on stage, then you will see empty seats. As seats are sold in rows, the disparate positioning of empty seats would seem to confirm they were momentarily vacant by late arrivees.

I have looked and tickets were on re-sale for high prices, not likely if it wasn't sold out.

In answer to your question, I am not bothered what happens to the Spice Girls. They can afford to do what they like, so I am sure they will.

Now who would you have rather seen last night, Led Zep or the Spice Girls?!!!!!!

Oh, how I would have loved to be at the 02 Arena last night!!

AB Ed, you (and the Daily Mail) may well say that the arena was half empty. But give the old dears the benefit of doubt, some of us would say it was half full.
