Rebel Wilson suffers huge blow to book tour in Manchester – after star accused Sacha Baron Cohen of harassment
REBEL Wilson has suffered a huge blow after tickets for her forthcoming tour dates have been slashed by a whopping 75 per cent just days before it hits the UK.
The Pitch Perfect star and her team are quietly advertising the knocked down priced tickets for her upcoming show at Manchester’s Opera House.
On seat filling website ShowFilmFirst, in a last minute bid to boost sales, fans are able to purchase tickets for just £16 rather than the original price of £67.
It follows rumours that there have been problems trying to shift tickets to Rebel’s In Conversation event on April 26.
The theatre’s seating plan shows that there are still hundreds of tickets available to choose from just days before the event.
The entire gallery and a majority of the circle seats are still available.
While there are still a number of seats available in the stalls.
Rebel’s tour – which is to promote her controversial tell-all memoir, Rebel Rising – is due to visit Manchester, London and Edinburgh later this month.
The actress was also due to hold events in Australia but was forced to cancel them due to scheduling conflicts.
The ShowFilmFirst website, which is hugely popular with artists and theatre shows wanting help with selling tickets for their tours, allows a closed group of people access to tickets for a fraction of the original price as a last minute option to fill up empty seats.
Doomed West End musical Opening Night, starring Sheridan Smith, recently used the site in a bid to flog tickets.
It comes after Rebel claimed she was being threatened over her tell-all book.
She has also made shock claims about her experience with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in the new memoir.
The Sun understands Rebel’s claims were a catalyst for Isla Fisher to publicly reveal her split from Sacha.
Rebel played Sacha’s girlfriend in action comedy Grimsby.
