"SNIP.......

The failed former president is struggling to sell tickets to his arena tour with fellow disgraced old white guy Bill O’Reilly.

Thousands Upon Thousands Of Tickets Remain For Trump’s Tour

Politico reported:


Donald Trump is having trouble selling advance tickets for his upcoming speaking tour with conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly, according to interviews with ticketing officials for the venues.

….

As of Thursday evening, Ticketmaster pages for the Orlando, Dallas and Sunrise events and the Axs page for the Houston event show wide swathes of available seats, with some large sections only having sold a few tickets.

That arena holds 20,000 seats. There is a big difference between 18,000 sold and 18,000 unsold. But both have thousands of unsold seats.

Sadly, there are enough deranged magats that even at $100/ticket, they will sell thousands. And they will likely give the remainder away just to fill seats.

and go up substantially, from there. After all of the fund raising he's done, his cult might be reaching the 'tapped and empty' zone. And, sorry, but I doubt O'Reilly is going to attract much of anybody.

Bill O’Reilly called it “bullsh*t” that ticket sales for his arena show with former President Trump have been slow.

But a Ticketmaster map of the venue shows otherwise (the unsold seats are in blue).

But that handful of people isn't going to fill the venues.

Perhaps they should have juicy giveaways.... free reverse mortgage with every purchase, or how about a bucket of fried dough with a Trump branded Big Gulp of diabetes, or buy two and get a pair of adult diapers.... ???
