Rihanna concert tickets are selling the opposite of like hot cakes.
Rihanna is having as tough a time selling concert tickets as she did last year. After her 2010 "Last Girl on Earth" tour hit problems with cancellations in Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver and Indianapolis because of low ticket sales, it seems the pop princess still can't pack an arena, even with new management from Jay-Z's Roc Nation.Jacked from NY Post
Sources say after poor US concert pre-sales last month, Rihanna has been advised by her day-to-day manager, Jay Brown, to cancel domestic dates on her "Loud" tour.
"It has been a big disappointment," our source said. "The ticket sales in big US cities like Boston are so bad, they will barely cover basics like the lighting and other arena costs. Tour managers are begging local radio stations to do giveaways."
Rihanna is scheduled to perform at T.D. Garden arena in Boston on July 24 with Cee Lo Green. Only 3,700 tickets have been sold, and sources on the tour say she needs to sell at least 15,000 to break even. They expect more than a half-million dollars in losses from the Boston concert alone.
Rihanna split from her first manager, Marc Jordan, who launched her career, over a disagreement after her 2010 tour. A rep for Jordan declined to comment.
Her new manager, Brown, who is part of Roc Nation, is preparing to make changes, sources say. The tour starts in June 4 in Baltimore and heads to Canada and then around the US before moving to England in August.
But an insider said, "She should've been doing theaters and smaller venues. She's not ready to headline an arena tour."
Sources say while the ticket sales are sluggish, Rihanna is demanding all of the bells and whistles to make it a blow-out show. "It's the normal diva requests," an insider said, "which is tolerated, when you make money."
Reps for Rihanna and Roc Nation declined to comment.

This is just for promo to get people to buy tickets to attend for a no talented/singer. Maybe she needs to eat her words and asks Ciara would she like to co-headline with her so people can have some sort of entertainment.
Ugh. ..that face .. :smh:
lol American still haven't fixed there economy yet? is guess people in Boston are poor because rihanna just sold out her Toronto show in day , and they add a 2nd night which sold out. dont worry American we Canadians will babysit you until you get back on your feet, lol
damn talk about egg on the face... rihanna has 2 feel stupid........ this def wont kill her,but it stings.. so prepare 2 c .. Ciara dumb ass even more now.....really lol
rihanna stage show looks like some shit at strokers in ATLANTA...
$$PUSSYPOP QUEEN$$$..Guess people dont wanna see her ass cheeks
Many might not agree with me because people are so zombified nowadays but I swear Rhi has a BUTTA face! I never thought she was attractive but has an okay body. She looks kind of "special" about the face. Oh well. Guess it doesn't really matter. Celebrities don't have to actually look beautiful or act beautiful if the public is mind-fucked enough to actually believe that they are!

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. there's an ugly chic that dudes cleary agree she ain't cute but girl got 20/30 people liking her photos on facebook. it leaves me scratching my head all the time, lol.
but seriously beauty is in the eye of the beholder so obviously her friends and network think she cute even people outside of that thinks she's butt ugly. only thing i can't stand is concieted, think they look good, ugly people. ugly is supposed to go with humble like apples is supposed to go with red. yeah, there's green apples, but how many people like them?
Good...now maybe she can take that bloody red tampon off her damned head!!! Honestly that ish was cute at first but nobody wants to see that ish. Besides it's a damned recession and if she ain't popping coochie like Beyaki then it's a wrap. This is why artist have to have perfume and other things to sell their image. Record sales do not pay anymore. The artist only money comes from touring or other endorsements/products. This is what happens when you have nothing to sell but an empty image. Writing and producing your own ish is where the money is at in the game. All of these years and you have artist like Beyaki and Rihanna still taking credit for writing and they ain't really saying nothing in their music. People are starting to catch on and people want more for their money than walking around screaming like a goat in heat.--ThatBKChick

Girl everyone is suffering. Like Canada is soooooo much better. Okay. Yeah y'all can have that flaming billy goat y'all and Europe. I'll stick to K-pop.
Canada economy is a lot better they were the least affected country by the financial meltdown , no banks closed and the housing market is as hot as ever. that what happened when the country care about its citizens and not profits

This was Jayz's doing, to get her to sign with ROC NATION....
Watch out Rhianna, People have put Jayz on a pedistal.
Rhianna don't you EVER think you will up stage Beyonce, you signed with Jayz, that was a stupid move.
No matter how good YOU think you are, to Jayz you will never be better that Beyonce, ever.
Jayz will put you out to paster like he did with others, he is no different than DIDDY watch and see.
rihanna is already better than beyonce. she doesn't need jay-z's help for that. white people are hyptonized by rihanna, she was 3times more fans on facebook than beyonce, and we all know facebook is like owning a home, a degree, a job, if you don't have those things, you're not a success. rihanna also has more movie roles options than beyonce. i feel sorry for beyonce and her fans because she/they still thinks she's top dog when she's not. and rihanna can't even sing, but she's the #1 go to black girl in the industry.
