Mariah Carey is having a bad week. It looks like Ticketmaster is trying to boost slow sales for her upcoming "All the Hits" tour with Lionel Richie by offering tickets as part of a "buy one, get one free" promotion for the concerts, which kick off in March. "This Valentine's Day, grab a ticket for you and your special someone... all for the price of one," one promo suggests.
Plus, Carey's comeback single "I Don't", a collaboration with rapper YG, is a flop. When it dropped last week it was No. 6 on iTunes, but is No. 55 as of press time. Industry insiders say Carey's New Year's Eve debacle live in Times Square - when she failed to keep up with her songs or even lip-sync properly - isn't helping.
Carey, 46, who hasn't toured North America in more than six years, will open for Richie in 35 cities, with a stop at Madison Square Garden on April 1, aka April Fools' Day. "Mariah is working enthusiastically with Live Nation and Lionel's team to put together an outstanding tour," a rep for the songbird said. "Ticket sales are beyond great - fans are in for a real treat."
