800 Unsold Tickets For Matt Goss Blackpool Show Flop as tickets Reduced To Just £2.50p

Freelance Journalist Ellie Campbell  13th March 2025

Former 80s pop sensation Matt Goss is set to grace the stage at Blackpool's Grand Theatre this evening for the second stop on his  "Hits and More Tour." 

However, the excitement surrounding the event appears to be fading; ticket sales have been inadequate, prompting promoters to slash prices to an astonishing £2.50 on seat-filler websites in a desperate attempt to fill seats.  

With a canceled show in Plymouth and a disappointing turnout in Bristol, where only 516 fans showed up, Goss's performance in Blackpool faces a daunting challenge. 

In response to dismal sales, the venue has limited access by closing entire sections, including the Gallery, upper circle, and both side sections of the dress circle.  

Despite the allure of nostalgia from his Bros heyday, featuring iconic hits like "I Owe You Nothing" and "When Will I Be Famous?", Goss is gearing up to perform for a crowd of fewer than 300 fans tonight—a stark contrast to the vibrant audiences of his past glory days in Bros, where he and his Brother Luke and bass player Craig Logan would sell-out shows.  

At 56, the singer still has strained relationship with his brother and after three decades as a solo artist, Goss finds himself at a crossroads, struggling to redefine his career. 

Though the singer has released five studio albums, they have collectively sold fewer than 40,000 copies worldwide, leaving his quest to reclaim former glory elusive.  

Attendees of his Bristol performance expressed disappointment, labeling the show as unexciting and lackluster. They criticized Goss’s Vegas-inspired renditions of Bros classics and questioned his decision to cover Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Oasis's "Champagne Supernova," feeling that these choices did not resonate with the audience.

 Compounding the challenge, insider sources reveal that Goss and his management may be employing questionable tactics to mislead fans and the public in an effort to bolster ticket sales.  

After spending 11 years performing in Las Vegas at the intimate 150-capacity Gassy Room, Goss now struggles to regain his footing in the industry; his latest single has sold merely 400 copies globally. The lack of interest in ticket sales has left promoters no choice but to resort to drastic measures.

  

We have again reached out to Matt Goss, his management, and the promoters for clarification, yet all parties have opted to remain quiet, however Blackpool Grand Theatre box office did confirm that certain areas have been closed off and ticket sales had been low.
