Mötley Crüe is facing a challenging start to their box office returns with the upcoming ten-show residency at Park MGM’s Dolby Live, a move that highlights the high stakes often found within the vibrant landscape of Las Vegas casinos. Fans of the legendary ’80s glam metal band are expressing concern over the slow ticket sales, sparking worries that the band’s run might face a potential cancellation, much like a losing streak on the gaming floor.

As of now, roughly one-third of Dolby Live’s 5,200 tickets remain available for the residency’s opening night scheduled for Friday, September 12. For the midweek performances, the situation is even less encouraging, with over half the tickets still up for grabs. This situation remains concerning despite the tickets being on sale since last October.

Social media discussions reveal growing anxiety among fans. One Reddit user noted, “There are still tons of tickets available for the Las Vegas shows. Who thinks they’ll make excuses to cancel?” another chimed in, suggesting potential contractual issues related to ticket pricing.

This upcoming residency marks Mötley Crüe’s third stint in Las Vegas, following their initial stays at the original Hard Rock Hotel back in 2012 and 2013. The residency was already pushed back once, initially set to launch in March and April, but required rescheduling due to a reported medical procedure involving lead singer Vince Neil.

Mars Aligns With Another New Year’s Eve

Bruno Mars is set to celebrate his seventh New Year’s Eve at the Dolby Live venue. Since first taking the stage there in 2016, he has only missed celebrating the calendar change in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Currently, Mars is in the midst of a nine-show residency running until September 6. He recently celebrated his 100th show at Dolby Live, which originally opened as the Park Theater before branding in 2021.

Tickets for his New Year’s Eve dates, scheduled for December 30-31, will be available for purchase through Ticketmaster on Friday, August 28 at 10 a.m. PT.
