Jennifer Lopez has canceled seven dates of her first North American tour in five years, in support of her new album This Is Me Now and its pair of companion films.
The dates spanning Aug. 20-31 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston were listed as canceled on Ticketmaster at some point on Wednesday; the Cleveland and Houston dates apparently had been removed from the itinerary earlier, as they were part of the tours originally announced itinerary on Feb. 15 but are no longer present on the site at all. An updated itinerary can be found on her social media accounts.
While the tour is still scheduled for a robust 30 shows, large numbers of tickets at most of the tours dates remain unsold, judging by the seating charts on Ticketmaster.com. While such charts are not always completely accurate, the blue (available) segments of the seating charts on most dates are overwhelmingly larger than the grey (unavailable) ones. However, it is worth noting that three shows were added to the itinerary in Miami, Toronto and her hometown of New York a week after the tour was originally announced.
The album, tour and two films are part of a self-financed $20 million three-part multimedia project examining, as Variety described in a recent cover article, Lopezs life as a serial romantic, regarding her reunion with actor Ben Affleck, whom she married in 2022 nearly two decades after the high-profile superstar couple originally split in the wake of their flop 2003 romantic comedy Gigli.
A rep for the artist did not immediately respond to Variety s request for comment; the cancellation notice reads simply, Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund.
The cancellations come after Lopezs new album her first in a decade also titled This Is MeNow, debuted at a disappointing No. 38 on the Billboard 200 last month.

Ticket prices are getting a bit out of control lately. I haven't looked at her prices but I bet cheap seats are probably $100 after taxes and ridiculous fees.
Meanwhile Madonna is still touring lmaoAnd giving a person with a disability shit for not standing during a concert.

Probably checked all the ticket master price gouging your customer checkboxes and she just doesn't have the star power to do that anymore.Yeah these older pop stars have to come to terms with, especially with the cost of things nowadays, they just dont have the cache to get people to pay hundreds of dollars to fill arenas anymore
