Pop star Mariah Carey’s Hong Kong concert this Saturday has been called off at the last moment because of poor ticket sales and “unreasonable demands” made by the pop queen. The promoters, Concerts Asia, made this announcement through their website, which reads, “As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert, we have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans.” However, the “unreasonable demands” have not been spelled out. Only about 4,000 tickets could be sold though the publicity campaign was quite strong.
