Girl power failure: Spice Girls play to an half-empty crowd

Promoters boasted of a sell-out tour, but it appears a number ticket holders had second thoughts about seeing the Spice Girls perform in concert last night.

Almost half of the seats in the Mandalay Arena auditorium were empty as the group took to the stage for their second show in Las Vegas.

Although WAG Coleen McLoughlin eagerly snapped up her spot and defeated boxer Ricky Hatton joined David Beckham in a private box, they didn't make up for the high number of vacant seats.

Still, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm played on with their now familiar routine.

It's not the first disappointment the Spice Girls have encountered since their reunion.

Their charity comeback single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) is the worst selling Children in Need song ever after it scraped into the UK midweek charts at No.10.

They were overshadowed by X Factor winners Leona Lewis & Shayne Ward, as well as pop princess Kylie Mingogue.

The Spice Girls play their last show in Las Vegas on Tuesday night before heading to New York.

im not surprised there not as popular now.First time around there fan base was made up mainly of young girls probably aged between 6-15.I was about 7 when I was really into them and now they have reformend I no longer have a n interest.The original fans have grown up and developed their music taste and it doesnt seem that there attracting a new young audience.My sister is 9 and she has never even heard of them!
