Britney Spears Circus tour kicks off tomorrow in Louisiana, but those close to the pop tart complain of lagging ticket sales. Britney‘s first concert has yet to sell-out, with many empty seats. Maybe this is the economy’s fault or perhaps it’s Britney‘s bad reputation.

A source at MSNBC Scoop said:

“Group sales are down considerably,” says one person close to the production, “and then you’ve got individual tickets that cost as much as $500 apiece. That’s a lot of money to spend on an artist who isn’t a sure bet right now. She’s worked really, really hard to make this good. Granted, there’ve been some hiccups along the way, but she’s going to put on a good show. I just hope there are people there to see it,” says the source. “This is really her last chance.”

The person who may be profiting most from this tour is ex-husband Kevin Federline who gets $5,000 a week in shut up money so Brit can have her kids by her side. That’s a healthy pay check for doing nothing!
