'The Voice' tour has failed to sell out a single venue, according to reports.
Tickets for the shows are priced at £40 each, but it's feared that some shows may have to be pulled because of slow sales.
The tour is set to take in large arenas in Cardiff, Brighton, Birmingham, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Liverpool and Sheffield, while the O2 show in London and the Manchester show at the Manchester Arena will have to attract over 20,000 people to fill the venues.
One promoter told The Mirror that he doubted they could sell 160,000 tickets at £40 each because of the falling ratings suffered by the TV show.
They added: “'Britain’s Got Talent' had to admit defeat and pull the plug on the live tour in 2011 because the tickets hadn’t sold – and their ratings were higher and more consistent than 'The Voice'.”

'Law & Order' star Richard Belzer has dismissed criticism for doing a Nazi salute at a photocall on the grounds that he is Jewish. The actor had been discussing Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' prior to the gesture. “I'm a Jewish comedian, and there's this new thing out, it's called satire, irony and historical reference,” he said. “To say that a Jew can't do that gesture as a homage to Chaplin's masterpiece 'The Great Dictator' is like Muslim extremists killing a cartoonist for disparaging Mohammed in his art.” [Daily Mail]
