Miley’s tour of 15-20k-capacity basketball arenas is underperforming, and critics place the blame on venue size and high ticket prices. According to insiders, Miley’s attorney Bill Sobel (she doesn’t make a move without him) and her longtime agent Jeff Frasco at CAA are responsible for the overreaching (e.g., three dates in the New York area), despite the protestations of savvy manager Larry Rudolph. That said, their grand ambitions are understandable given that TEA sales on her RCA album have passed 1.7m, putting Miley in the thick of the diva competition with Beyoncé, labelmate P!nk and Rihanna, if not yet in Katy territory.
Miley’s isn’t the only tour doing disappointing numbers; Kanye West and John Mayer are underperforming as well.
