Jennifer Lopez has revamped her This is Me... Live tour, placing a renewed focus on her greatest hits, but ticket sales still seem to be sluggish.
The 54-year-old "Jenny From The Block" singer is set to tour North America next month in support of her ninth studio album, This is Me... Now.
With the tour set to kick off in just a few weeks and Jennifer also gearing up to co-chair this year's Met Gala, the slow ticket sales are becoming a cause for concern.
Jennifer Lopez Cannot Make Sales
Official seat maps on Ticketmaster still show seating blocks available at various venues.
This development follows reports that Lopez sought inspiration from Taylor Swift and Madonna to boost ticket numbers.
To stir excitement among her fans and reinvigorate interest, the star reportedly rebranded her tour as "This Is Me... Live: The Greatest Hits," taking inspiration from the strategies employed by artists like Swift and Madonna.

According to Daily Mail UK, numerous seats are still available for performances in Denver, Colorado, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, indicating slow ticket sales. Additionally, plenty of resale tickets are available for the opening night in Orlando, Florida, on June 26.
Similar concerns persist for her two-night stint at the Kaseya Center in Miami on June 28 and 29 and her local performances at Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 16 and 17.
Even if tickets for the first nights have sold out, sales for the second evenings remain lackluster, particularly for the tour's closing night on August 17, where numerous seats are still available.
The gig's VIP packages, ranging from $651 to $4,198, are not selling as they are expected to be sold.
Niall Horan, Billy Joel Nearing 'Sold-out' Status
Other acts slated to perform at the 19,500-seat MSG arena this summer, such as Niall Horan and Billy Joel, are nearing sell-out status. At the same time, Pearl Jam sold out two consecutive shows in September at a total capacity.
Conversely, there are a few venues where ticket sales may increase. Among these are Lopez's scheduled performances in Newark, New Jersey, where entire sections of seating have already been reserved, and in Toronto and Montreal, Canada, in early August.
In March, Lopez quietly canceled seven dates scheduled between August 20 and 31 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans, and Houston, citing slow sales. Sources informed Billboard that this decision was attributed to "routing issues."
However, insiders claimed that they cancelled dates because she cannot make the numbers needed.
"If they're canceling tour dates with someone at her level, it's bad, very bad," a source told The New York Post. "There are only a few people who can still draw the crowds after decades, like Springsteen or Madonna."
