Just two days before Mariah Carey was due to perform a one off gig in the Chinese city, concert promoters have called off the event, citing low ticket sales and unreasonable demands from Mariah as their reasons for the abrupt cancellation. Concerts Asia was responsible for booking and cutting her gig. They 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 they found unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong and the fans. Concerts Asia reports that only 4,000 tickets were sold for the Saturday gig despite the presumed international popularity of Carey and “a substantial advertising campaign.” The outdoor Tamar Site venue has the capacity to hold up to 13,000 concert goers. With legions of fans in Hong Kong and South East Asia, Mariah has always appreciated the love and dedication they have shown over the years. She deeply regrets the disappointment caused to them due to unforeseen circumstances beyond her control. |
