ABBA Having Difficulties Selling Tickets for ‘ABBA Voyage’ Residency Concert

Bad news for ABBA and their upcoming tour.

According to The Sun, the band is having trouble selling tickets for their upcoming series of gigs featuring their digital avatars.

The "ABBA Voyage" residency will begin later this month at the 3,000-capacity Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park venue in East London, UK.

Fans rushed to acquire seats for the early concerts.

However, the run was later extended, and the remaining three months - October, November, and December - are apparently proving difficult to sell.

According to Ticketmaster, practically all dates have "high availability," with certain blocks remaining completely unsold.

A source spoke to The Sun said there was a significant drop-off following the initial euphoria.

"Plans for bargain offers are already being developed in order to transfer tickets."

"The concern is that, unlike shows in the West End, tourists will not have a supper out in Covent Garden and then go to the gigs since they'd have to traipse across town to East London," they added.

The ABBA Voyage Is Explained

ABBA Voyage is an anticipated ABBA residency concert that will include virtual avatars of the quartet as they appeared in 1977.

According to Ticketmaster, the show will last 100 minutes without an intermission.

Setlist for ABBA Voyage London Residency

When the Swedish band announced their long-awaited return earlier this year, they disclosed that instead of the traditional performances, they would perform a series of unique gigs using digital avatars of themselves.

According to The Sun, when many images from Stockholm were revealed, a handful of them featured sheet music titles.

These images were later removed.

Before it was discovered that there was a leak, eagle-eyed fans recognized the songs that would be in the setlists of the ABBA Voyage gigs, and some are clear while others are not.

Fans attending the show will hear legendary favorites such as "Dancing Queen" and "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme."

"The Visitors," "I Still Have Faith In You," and "Don't Shut Me Down" are among the 22 songs in the setlist.

ABBA stated that this tour and return will be their final endeavor as a band.

"It's got to be, you know, I didn't truly say 'this is it' in 1982," Benny Anderson stated.

"I never claimed ABBA would never happen again, but I can tell you now: this is it."
