Hollywood Star Vince Vaughn Faces Humiliation as Event Tickets Fail to Sell, Forced to Offer Free Admission Following Jennifer Aniston’s Ex’s Lead

Vince Vaughn is heading Down Under next month for a series of business industry events.

However, it appears the 54-year-old Hollywood star’s Sydney show is having trouble selling tickets to the ‘Power of Success’ business conference.

One of the event’s hosts, Ethan Donati, took to Instagram earlier this week with a sponsored post offering free tickets to the June 5th session of the conference.

Tickets for the full day conference hosted at The Star Sydney previously started at $156.96 for general admission, with a meet and greet ‘platinum’ option with The Wedding Crashers star starting at $527.56.

Daily Mail Australia spoke to Donati on Wednesday, who admitted that ‘the Vince Vaughn [event] won’t be as big as my other ones.’

The Hollywood funnyman, who was once romantically involved with Jennifer Aniston, appears to be too expensive for some businesspeople.

‘We decided to offer a couple hundred free as we had lots of messages from people saying they want to come but couldn’t afford it,’ Donati claimed.

As a result, the initial ticket-holders have had their tickets upgraded and current general admission to the Dodgeball star’s event is now free. 

‘We upgraded everyone that bought a general admission ticket to VIP then offer a few hundred general admission as free ones for a couple of weeks,’ the conference organiser said.

Donati claimed that even though the event might be smaller than he was used to organising, he was expecting a decent crowd. 

‘It’ll still around 1000 people,’ he said.

Vaughn recently confirmed his and Ben Stiller’s interest in doing a follow-up to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, as long as it involves quality material.

‘We upgraded everyone that bought a general admission ticket to VIP then offer a few hundred general admission as free ones for a couple of weeks,’ the conference organiser said

‘They’ve always talked about these things forever and I had an idea that was fun and the studio likes it, so we’ll see where it goes,’ Vaughn told The Hollywood Reporter last year.

In the original film, written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the story follows a group of misfits entering a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain.

It went on to become a hit with fans at the worldwide box office 18 years ago, grossing $188.4 million on a $20 million budget.

Vaughn, who played Average Joe’s Gym owner Pete LaFleur, shared that Stiller is interested in reprising his role as White Goodman, the owner of Globo Gym who tried to buy out Average Joe’s, but only if there’s a funny and original script.

‘I think Ben [Stiller] is open to doing it, I think he’s in the same boat as me actually which is if it’s a really fun and great idea then that’s fun, but if it’s just something to go do it again then why?’ Vaughn explained.
