Politico: “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. Early last month, Trump and O’Reilly, the one-time top Fox News host, announced a joint ‘History Tour’ featuring four stops in December. O’Reilly said his conversations with Trump ‘will not be boring,’ while the former president promised ‘fun, fun, fun for everyone who attends.’ Tickets went on sale June 14. While most seats are priced between $100 and $300, a ‘VIP Meet & Greet Package’ goes for more than $8,500 and includes getting pictures taken with Trump and O’Reilly and a pre-show, 45-minute reception. The events are not until the end of the year, Trump’s camp notes. But so far, the pace of sales has been slow compared to other acts, arena officials say.”

“In Orlando, where the duo is hosting an event at the 20,000-capacity Amway Center on Dec. 12, a box office employee for the arena said, ‘There’s still a lot of tickets open.’ The person, who like others for this story insisted on anonymity to share confidential sales data, added: ‘We have concerts that are doing a lot better than this.’ A Bad Bunny concert being held next March recently sold out within two days, for example, and the majority of seats for a Dec. 3 Kane Brown concert have been sold already. At the 20,000-seat American Airlines Center in Dallas, home to the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NHL’s Dallas Stars, a large number of seats remain open for the Dec. 19 Trump-O’Reilly event, according to a stadium employee who works in ticket sales. For Trump’s Houston event with O’Reilly at the 19,000-seat Toyota Center, home to the NBA’s Houston Rockets, 60 to 65 percent of seats remain unsold, an employee with access to ticket sales information estimated. And in Sunrise, Florida, a box office employee at the BB&T Center said that they would have expected sales for the Trump-O’Reilly event there to have been ‘definitely higher’ by now.”
