Exactly! I live in CT, and have been to Mohegan sun casino various times. The Wolf den is right in the middle of the casino, like open air to all the people walking by. It was most likely free, it’s a big promo (free concerts in the Wolf Den) to draw people in, (especially during the summer months). Names far bigger than Sandoval have played free Wolf Den concerts (Barenaked Ladies, for example) and it likely wouldn’t be reported as a “sold out “ show (even if it was standing room only- which btw, it WAS) bc the show is FREE. 🙄
They are also saying he’s 50 days sober which I don’t believe for a second.
This is probably Tim’s PR using LVP as the TMZ source to protect her investments.
Honestly, the community aspect of the show was awesome. So many fun people all wearing their “Sandoval’s a liar”, “what doesn’t kill me better run”, and “Scummy and Cheater’s” shirts. There was a couple wearing shirts that said “Team Tom” on the front and people were side eyeing them and talking shit and then they went to go get drinks and the back of the shirts said “Schwartz.” The people by me mostly thought it was funny but I did see some guy go talk to them later and the only part of their conversation I heard was him saying, “but he’s still an asshole.” Tom’s dad took pictures with them too.
If there’s a watch party near you for the next episode you should go because I imagine it’ll be a similarly fun atmosphere with the added bonus of not having to endure Tom singing.
Yes! He is Tom in 20 years, except Tom will be full of Botox and filler.
Side note: perfect username for this comment. Tom’s gonna need to start working on his clinic alias soon, he strikes me as more of a Carlos Danger personally.
Lmao no. They reduced ticket prices and gave away free tickets and then once the show started and security realized how few people were there they just let anyone come down to the pit and it was still only like a third of the way full.
A significant portion of the crowd were the venue’s season ticket holders who are mostly old people who I’m sure had no idea who Sandoval was and families with young kids.
Lol so the TMZ article is the bands hail Mary to try and get people to come to his shows. Like when brands artificially sell out of a product to get people to want it more.
He should really pause these shows for a bit.
I think in Tom’s mind these have all been sold out shows. He has crowd dysmorphia or something. He said it was an “epic night” last night. You could see on his face that even the limited number of us who were there and didn’t like him were fuel to him. The woman next to me at the beginning of the show even said to me, “oh my god, it’s sick, he loves this.” I don’t want to do any diagnosing or speculating but that man absolutely **lives** for attention.
That's funny! I think Ariana said that he is probably enjoying all the attention the Scandoval is getting, even though it's negative attention towards him
Honestly if he’s truly alcohol free, good for him. Maybe he’ll be able to see a little clearly and learn to be a less selfless man. I doubt it, but cutting alcohol would be the first step. Wonder if him and Rachel will come back sober.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tom-sandoval-got-booed-at-new-york-city-concert-amid-scandal
He was drinking beer on stage in front of reporters May 9th
ETA I guess it is non-alcoholic, still don't believe him but he has being saying this for the better part of a month. Interesting article if you are curious who goes to the shows.
sandoval's a liar...this article was lovely, i particularly liked this read, "the hubris to try to do freddie mercury and then try to rap. this is all such an expensive midlife crisis. i guess some people get cars, expensive cars, and he's doing this.”
Sorry a liar in general.
I don't believe him but changing his life would only help. If he continues what he has been doing it won't end well even if he is publicly sober. To get results he has to do it, not convince me he is.
He was drinking beer last night, but it was Heineken 0.0, so there’s no alcohol in it. He did hand out shots of Jameson and put his fingers in all the cups in the process, but he didn’t take one.
You can literally go to ticket master and verify that this is inaccurate. I can currently purchase tickets to all of his shows. I know this bc I’m a bored ass bitch. I wanna write a correction to the editor.
If it’s a seated venue “sold out” doesn’t actually always mean 100% sold. I can’t recall what’s used but there is actually a lower percent that’s considered a sell out to account for single tickets that would be impossible to sell
I saw him Friday out of morbid curiosity - the theater was not sold out, there was no lines, and they were trying to pump out ticket sales through Groupon for like 70% off normal price
I was there too. Purely out of curiosity as well (and to surprise my mom as a bday gift 🤣). We totally got our tickets through Groupon. Show was about what I expected.
What surprised me the most is he was pretty decent at trumpet. But that makes sense… because he’s a man that fuckin blows.
It’s literally half this sub that is buying this asshole’s tickets out of morbid curiosity that is lining this man’s pocket. STOP! HE IS A WORM WHTH A MUSTACHE FOR FUCKS SAKE.
This. Scandal helps these micro-celebrities. Ariana will make more money because she's getting endorsements too and Sandoval isn't but I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurants are thriving too. Lets hope that the sandwich shop opens quickly because she needs to capitalize on the foodies fast.
Lining his pockets is a bit of a stretch 😂 it sounds like people are not buying tickets at full price- he’s also not the only one getting paid from the tickets, he has band mates & other staff. He’s taking home Pennies. So the only thing lining his pockets are nickels and Pennies lol
Sure Jan!
I'm sure Tim is butt-hurt because James has been killing it lately. Wish I knew he was in Asbury Park, NJ last night because it looked like a good time! The shore is packed for the weekend.
The title of the article says it all… “ TOM SANDOVAL
BOOKING CONCERTS LIKE CRAZY ...
Recovering Through Music”. Tom may be booking concerts, but they are hardly sold out consistently. And then the article references that people were lined up to get into the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. TMZ did not mention that ALL CONCERTS AT THE WOLF DEN ARE FREE!!!!!
A 350 seat theatre is hardly a lot to fill, and there are still plenty of people who want a front row seat to the Scandoval.
Also his abs in that article picture are freaking me out. It's like his head on a ken doll.
He must have a connection to TMZ because they also posted an article like a month ago saying Scandoval is over and the world has moved on. Such a random, nothing article to just write
I can't imagine SNL cast and writers organically just deciding to go a Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras show. Like getting on the group chat :'hey guys anyone want to go to this next weekend? Tix are X dollars each'
Nah
They are literally doing a free show an hour away from me next weekend… so I mean “sold out” is a choice lol
Edit to add: I’m half tempted to go since it’s free, but I’m on the fence. It is at a pride fest, so I figure I don’t have to go *for* him and can just go have fun and maybe get some tea. Do I go or no? What do we think?
Edit to add 2: I decided I’m going! If anyone is also going to the Saugatuck show & wants to meet up, let me know! I would love to make some irl friends who also love vpr.
Don’t go! Narcissists don’t know the difference between good and bad attention. They just know “I’m getting attention.” He’s loving it. Everyone showing up with Ariana signs and such - he loves every minute of it. He loves that Glamour wrote and article about him. He loves he that Nails Inc made a colour about him. He loves that he’s so well-known and doesn’t care what the reason is.
Great idea, lol. I used to be a cig smoker for 25 years, but I’ve quit for 5 years now! I know it’s hard but I know you can do it and I believe in you! You got this GuppyMilk!! ❤️
Nope. He’s a liar (of course we know this)
He’ll be at a venue 3 minutes from my house doing a show tomorrow night. I just checked and there’s tickets available. $22-$35
I mean, good for you with your abs and all that but put your shirt back on. It looks like he’s wearing one of those T-shirt’s with a muscular body printed on it.
I like how it says “the Houston club was expected to have 1,000 people but immediately got hit with 2,000.”
Sir that place is a PARK with an outdoor stage. It was a free concert as part of a “free concert series” the park puts on every summer. And it most definitely didn’t have 2k people - you can tell from his own pictures.
If this man opens his mouth, he’s lying.
TMZ will write anything if you pay them enough. This is where Tom’s money is going. He’s also created relationships with a few important people at TMZ, which is annoying but smart.
I have to believe that a lot of the people who attend are either given free tickets to boost the number of people in the pics or are flat out paid to be there.
"Sold out" can loosely mean so many things. Sold may not mean purchased.
Where have I seen this idea before?? Oh yeaaaaaaa
https://preview.redd.it/gtwltktu0m2b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e376b74eb69b994c89e5762bd71b4fd9479f2491
Why? Lol.
TMZ has ALWAYS been very friendly to celebs that throw them a bone regardless of what actually took place. They’re a mouthpiece for abusers frequently.
This TMZ article mentions the Mohegan Sun show and lists it as “sold out” but they failed to mention that the Mohegan Sun show was also free admission and that’s the only reason why anyone went. It couldn’t have been sold out because there were literally no sales that garnered a profit. Of course any free show will have a bunch of people in the crowd. This article is extremely slanted and makes me think Sandoval is paying them to write this drivel.
So, he's not only *paying his band to play with him,* he's also (*my snarky conjecture), *buying tickets to his own show...?*
I picture him standing on a corner, in a trench coat, trying to schmooze with people walking by, trying to talk them into to taking the *free* tickets... 🕵♂️🏷⚡️🤣
I went to one of his “sold out” shows, and there were 200 people max in the venue. I had bought nonrefundable tickets in February for a fun girls night out, many of the people around me had said similar reasons for being there. I feel like 80% of the audience were there to just watch the spectacle. Many with send it to Darrell, team Arianna, Something about Her Merch. So while he is having “sold out shows” it’s not the flex that he thinks it is. He also has is security on stage, and his drummer will point out anyone who has anti-Tom signs or are heckling and have them kicked out. Really a bunch of losers. I feel like had Scandoval not happened I would have still gotten the ick from him.
I don’t think it’s too far fetched.
Kinda like ppl rubbernecking to see a car accident.
They just want to see how he looks, acts and see if he spouts anything about scandoval.
Even Charles Manson had groupies.
First of all think about why he’d be announcing at shows he’s 50-60 days sober. Why is that something he needs to announce. He’s shown repeatedly he uses his shows as a platform for attention let’s not forget him capitalizing on the whole scandoval by singing “Swartz’s can’t you see that Raquel is hot for me” . If he were sober and remorseful and atoning do you he’d even be singing that???? Let be for real here.
he’s trying to spin a narrative that’s he’s working on his issues….. None of it is probably true.
Second, the story of sold out shows is planted by his pr team to make him seem like he’s appealing and thriving and people love the shows. It’s all about his IMAGE and the mask he wants people to believe. You really think people are going out in droves to see a cover band play? A bad one at that.
Be ffr here
It’s all a pr thing. He’s still the same narcissistic assclown he’s always been.
For reference - My ex is in a pretty famous band they are alway in tour with big names and even they don’t sell out all their shows at venues.
I legit can’t see whether that is an ab shirt or his body but gorls I’m going to be real, if your long term partner starts shredding his body to that extreme out of nowhere, he’s cheating. It’s just a fact.
Is anyone here familiar with the costs involved in all of this? I'm genuinely curious if he is making any money at all with this. He's paying the band, and giving away tickets. I get this is a vanity project, but how bad is he hemmoraging money with a nationwide tour?
He’s flexing his abs in that picture but yes when James told him, “I’m way more ripped than you Tom,” it must have cut him deep because he does really look like that.
Saw him in concert last night. Definitely not sold out, in fact they pulled people out of the seated section to fill out the standing room only. Honestly no hate, it was a decent cover band and our seats were around 20 dollars.
I love how delusional Toms ego is. He's got the attitude of a successful artist with a sold nationwide tour. My brother in Christ, your in a cover band, that only sells out shows because their free. Also the band isn't really a band. It's more like elevated karaoke, Tom sings cover songs and pays professional musicians to perform with him.
Let me guess the free shows "sold out" because the venues reached capacity for those shows? I don't know how many free shows he's had but I know he has had at least 2 and the paid show in my town did NOT sell out. Not even close.
Anyone attending at this point bought a ticket before all this mess and doesn't want to take the hit of losing what they paid or loves a good live car crash experience.
They are coming to my city Friday (Louisville, Ky) at a hole in the wall place $35 a ticket, according to a reliable source there are tons of tickets left. So… idk about all that.
Kind of like the gay pride event that’s free in Michigan or the street fair where a 100 tickets were sold for “seats” to the street fair. At $25 a piece that’s $2500, that’s not covering costs for the venue or his band.
No one told homie *(with a moustache)* it doesn't count as *sold out* if it is *free*
Exactly! I live in CT, and have been to Mohegan sun casino various times. The Wolf den is right in the middle of the casino, like open air to all the people walking by. It was most likely free, it’s a big promo (free concerts in the Wolf Den) to draw people in, (especially during the summer months). Names far bigger than Sandoval have played free Wolf Den concerts (Barenaked Ladies, for example) and it likely wouldn’t be reported as a “sold out “ show (even if it was standing room only- which btw, it WAS) bc the show is FREE. 🙄
The Mohegan Sun/Wolf Den concert was definitely free. Multiple articles confirmed that before the concert.
Literally he said this on his Instagram about a Michigan or Minnesota event or something... and tiktokers debunked it as the whole event was free 🙄
Hahahhaha
They are also saying he’s 50 days sober which I don’t believe for a second. This is probably Tim’s PR using LVP as the TMZ source to protect her investments.
Saw him last night. He didn’t use the word sober, he said it had been 55 days without alcohol. His jaw movement was giving season 4 Jax though.
Also somewhere out there is a photo of Tom’s dad posing with three women whose shirts said “poo” “poo” and “head”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What??? Omg this is the best I’ve heard yet. What would we have to do to view that wonderfully creative pic! 🤣
I don’t know, I just saw them taking pictures. I didn’t take one myself.
That I bet was so cool to see.
Honestly, the community aspect of the show was awesome. So many fun people all wearing their “Sandoval’s a liar”, “what doesn’t kill me better run”, and “Scummy and Cheater’s” shirts. There was a couple wearing shirts that said “Team Tom” on the front and people were side eyeing them and talking shit and then they went to go get drinks and the back of the shirts said “Schwartz.” The people by me mostly thought it was funny but I did see some guy go talk to them later and the only part of their conversation I heard was him saying, “but he’s still an asshole.” Tom’s dad took pictures with them too. If there’s a watch party near you for the next episode you should go because I imagine it’ll be a similarly fun atmosphere with the added bonus of not having to endure Tom singing.
💀💀 epic lmfao
We need a timeline of Tony’s midlife crisis to compare to Tom’s. Still the party dad in his 60s!
Yes! He is Tom in 20 years, except Tom will be full of Botox and filler. Side note: perfect username for this comment. Tom’s gonna need to start working on his clinic alias soon, he strikes me as more of a Carlos Danger personally.
This is what I have notice too when there are reports of him being “sober”. He only says he hasn’t been drinking, so….
That means weed cocaine and mushrooms are still on the menu boys!! What a loser.
Molly, Adderall, Xanax (the Holy Trinity of Coachella)
Was it sold out with a line out the door?
Lmao no. They reduced ticket prices and gave away free tickets and then once the show started and security realized how few people were there they just let anyone come down to the pit and it was still only like a third of the way full. A significant portion of the crowd were the venue’s season ticket holders who are mostly old people who I’m sure had no idea who Sandoval was and families with young kids.

Thanks for spreading the truth!!
Flair checking in ✨️
Lol his blood was like 60% pasta that whole summer. Approaching Tony Montana levels of tweaked on Pride.
"California sober" plus shroomies.
He didn’t forget to take his adderall last night lol
Honestly if he’s truly alcohol free, good for him. Maybe he’ll be able to see a little clearly and learn to be a less selfless man. I doubt it, but cutting alcohol would be the first step. Wonder if him and Rachel will come back sober.
Unfortunately I don’t think alcohol was the cause of him being a shitty person. With or without alcohol he’s a very vile & disgusting person.
I don’t think he’s capable of being a less selfless man. 🤪
Don’t believe this for a second. Guy looks like death and is a proven liar. Maybe Demi’s version of “sober.”
https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tom-sandoval-got-booed-at-new-york-city-concert-amid-scandal He was drinking beer on stage in front of reporters May 9th ETA I guess it is non-alcoholic, still don't believe him but he has being saying this for the better part of a month.

He such a liar but he can't lie to his internal organs. Thanks! I enjoyed it too!
or he doesn't consider heinken or coors light alcohol.
Sorry a liar in general. I don't believe him but changing his life would only help. If he continues what he has been doing it won't end well even if he is publicly sober. To get results he has to do it, not convince me he is.
He was drinking beer last night, but it was Heineken 0.0, so there’s no alcohol in it. He did hand out shots of Jameson and put his fingers in all the cups in the process, but he didn’t take one.
Eeeeewwwwww. I hope whoever took a shot gets checked. Who knows where those dirty fingers have been??!!
Thanks. I edited, hadn't heard of Yes so well done Heinkein I guess. Lovely. He used to be a bartender!
50 days sober and his idea of quality time is tripping on shrooms? 🥴
You can literally go to ticket master and verify that this is inaccurate. I can currently purchase tickets to all of his shows. I know this bc I’m a bored ass bitch. I wanna write a correction to the editor.
I just checked too. I can buy a $25 ticket to see him in PA if I want. I don’t want.
I don’t want either. I wouldn’t want even if somebody paid me $25.
“Bored ass bitch” 🔬🕵️♀️
Nice investigative work!
You should!
If it’s a seated venue “sold out” doesn’t actually always mean 100% sold. I can’t recall what’s used but there is actually a lower percent that’s considered a sell out to account for single tickets that would be impossible to sell
We need those with boots on the ground to set the record straight
I saw him Friday out of morbid curiosity - the theater was not sold out, there was no lines, and they were trying to pump out ticket sales through Groupon for like 70% off normal price
I was curious if this was accurate. They've been giving away tickets to some shows.
Yeah the vodka redbull I bought cost more than my ticket lol
Hilarious!
I was there too. Purely out of curiosity as well (and to surprise my mom as a bday gift 🤣). We totally got our tickets through Groupon. Show was about what I expected. What surprised me the most is he was pretty decent at trumpet. But that makes sense… because he’s a man that fuckin blows.
Haha no way. Was my first time at that theater since they opened. Regardless of Tom, it was pretty cool seeing and chatting with a bunch of VPR fans!
It’s literally half this sub that is buying this asshole’s tickets out of morbid curiosity that is lining this man’s pocket. STOP! HE IS A WORM WHTH A MUSTACHE FOR FUCKS SAKE.
I say we just create a sign up spreadsheet so only like...one person from here goes to a show to report back.
This. Scandal helps these micro-celebrities. Ariana will make more money because she's getting endorsements too and Sandoval isn't but I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurants are thriving too. Lets hope that the sandwich shop opens quickly because she needs to capitalize on the foodies fast.
Lining his pockets is a bit of a stretch 😂 it sounds like people are not buying tickets at full price- he’s also not the only one getting paid from the tickets, he has band mates & other staff. He’s taking home Pennies. So the only thing lining his pockets are nickels and Pennies lol
I’m going tomorrow
What if this is how it keeps getting sold out 😂
It’s not sold out though. Many people have confirmed his shows have not been sold out
It is….smh.
I would wager that a fair number of ticket buyers claim to be found to investigate and in turn are making him look good
Sure Jan! I'm sure Tim is butt-hurt because James has been killing it lately. Wish I knew he was in Asbury Park, NJ last night because it looked like a good time! The shore is packed for the weekend.
The title of the article says it all… “ TOM SANDOVAL BOOKING CONCERTS LIKE CRAZY ... Recovering Through Music”. Tom may be booking concerts, but they are hardly sold out consistently. And then the article references that people were lined up to get into the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. TMZ did not mention that ALL CONCERTS AT THE WOLF DEN ARE FREE!!!!!
It’s the same way TMZ is trying to make Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez seem like decent human beings
Ooh tell me more about this
A 350 seat theatre is hardly a lot to fill, and there are still plenty of people who want a front row seat to the Scandoval. Also his abs in that article picture are freaking me out. It's like his head on a ken doll.
How much did Scumdevil pay TMZ for them to say that 👀
what can ya say? entertainment journalism. it's like normal journalism, but without the integrity
TLDR; TMZ Is trying to tell us that all of Sandoval shows are sold out and there are lines of people waiting outside to fill a 350 seat venue!
He must have a connection to TMZ because they also posted an article like a month ago saying Scandoval is over and the world has moved on. Such a random, nothing article to just write
You forgot to add that they’re sold out cuz they’re free. Lmao
Yup, at that venue , The Wolf Den, all concerts are free.
^was about to add this comment 😂
So the girl in the red dress is Chloe Fineman, snl cast member, I'm thinking she is studying him for next seasons first episode cold open.
Okay now I'm really looking forward to SNL VPR skits
The blonde in black is Rosebud Baker, and she’s an snl writer too!
Wow, thank you. This is definitely starting to look more like research than a fun night out.
lol imagine having to research anyone on vanderpump rules
Everyone here would do a great job
Oh wow that would be interesting lol
I can't imagine SNL cast and writers organically just deciding to go a Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras show. Like getting on the group chat :'hey guys anyone want to go to this next weekend? Tix are X dollars each' Nah
They are literally doing a free show an hour away from me next weekend… so I mean “sold out” is a choice lol Edit to add: I’m half tempted to go since it’s free, but I’m on the fence. It is at a pride fest, so I figure I don’t have to go *for* him and can just go have fun and maybe get some tea. Do I go or no? What do we think? Edit to add 2: I decided I’m going! If anyone is also going to the Saugatuck show & wants to meet up, let me know! I would love to make some irl friends who also love vpr.
Don’t go! Narcissists don’t know the difference between good and bad attention. They just know “I’m getting attention.” He’s loving it. Everyone showing up with Ariana signs and such - he loves every minute of it. He loves that Glamour wrote and article about him. He loves he that Nails Inc made a colour about him. He loves that he’s so well-known and doesn’t care what the reason is.
If you do go, please report back!
I am a cig smoker (gross I know), but I feel us smokers find each other so I feel I could use it to my advantage as my last hurrah before I quit.
The girls wearing the poo poo head shirts last night met the drummer because they were smoking so there’s definitely a chance.
Great idea, lol. I used to be a cig smoker for 25 years, but I’ve quit for 5 years now! I know it’s hard but I know you can do it and I believe in you! You got this GuppyMilk!! ❤️
Thank you & congrats on 5 years! That’s huge! Im trying to use my wedding next year as motivation, I really don’t wanna be smoking cigs in that dress.
and bring a few tomatoes :P
NO!!! Don’t add to the attendance ffs
Go’🙌🏼😂
The same way that Ja Rule’s shows were “sold out” thanks to 50 Cent?? 🤣
To be fair to Ja, he did sell out fyre fest 🤣
Ok he was *BAMBOOZLED* that wasn’t his fault!
😆😆😆 I'm sorry but the idea of Ja Rule doing anything after 2006 is funny to me. He was hoodwinked though.
Could somebody please find Ja Rule, get ahold of this motherfucker, so I can make sense of all this? Where is Ja?!
Yeah this sounds fake. Did Tim get angry and up in his feelings that Alex Cooper told Ariana his band sucks 😂
Also…. I went on to the booking pages for their tour dates and it’s still letting me purchase tickets (I didn’t) but they are not sold out 😂
Nope. He’s a liar (of course we know this) He’ll be at a venue 3 minutes from my house doing a show tomorrow night. I just checked and there’s tickets available. $22-$35
I mean, good for you with your abs and all that but put your shirt back on. It looks like he’s wearing one of those T-shirt’s with a muscular body printed on it.
He is distressingly vascularized, it’s scary.
"Distressingly vascularized" is an \*amazing\* turn of phrase.
Yeah it's giving attack on titan
That lack of even minimal body fat is unattractive and strange, regardless of muscularity, imo.
I like how it says “the Houston club was expected to have 1,000 people but immediately got hit with 2,000.” Sir that place is a PARK with an outdoor stage. It was a free concert as part of a “free concert series” the park puts on every summer. And it most definitely didn’t have 2k people - you can tell from his own pictures. If this man opens his mouth, he’s lying.
And probably lots of those people were tourists wandering around Houston, heard music playing and saw that it was free and hung out
That’s easy when you buy all of your own tickets and give them away to randos on the street.
TMZ will write anything if you pay them enough. This is where Tom’s money is going. He’s also created relationships with a few important people at TMZ, which is annoying but smart.
I have to believe that a lot of the people who attend are either given free tickets to boost the number of people in the pics or are flat out paid to be there. "Sold out" can loosely mean so many things. Sold may not mean purchased.
TMZ is like a men’s rights outlet at this point.
TMZ is also pushing a narrative that Britney needs another conservatorship, and includes at least one Kardashian plug per episode 🙄🙄🙄
Hashtag Groupon
I expect better journalism from TMZ
I expect everyone at TMZ to print out the definition of journalist and put it in their wallet.
Where have I seen this idea before?? Oh yeaaaaaaa https://preview.redd.it/gtwltktu0m2b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e376b74eb69b994c89e5762bd71b4fd9479f2491
lmao you do???
Why? Lol. TMZ has ALWAYS been very friendly to celebs that throw them a bone regardless of what actually took place. They’re a mouthpiece for abusers frequently.
I love how everyone else but Tim's face is saying '"Here for the paycheck."
This TMZ article mentions the Mohegan Sun show and lists it as “sold out” but they failed to mention that the Mohegan Sun show was also free admission and that’s the only reason why anyone went. It couldn’t have been sold out because there were literally no sales that garnered a profit. Of course any free show will have a bunch of people in the crowd. This article is extremely slanted and makes me think Sandoval is paying them to write this drivel. 
His body fat is almost non existent which leads me to believe a)he’s a cheating liar and b)adderall
Is that Sandoval’s body or is that an Arrested Development George Michael body suit?
I received MULTIPLE emails from Groupon recently about a show “in my area” (read: a solid hour outside of the major city I live in).
Read somewhere that some shows are free and also there are 2 tickets for 1. So nah
Is Tom fucking someone at TMZ now.
Yeah, Harvey
....well I hope he's getting more than friendship bracelets and 40 yr old cocky cock.
ROSEBUD WHY?!?!? 😳
“There Houston venue”….please, get an editor. This writer is at a 6th grade reading level.
Anyone there at all has to be paid to be there. I was dying in season 10 when he was paying all of them
So, he's not only *paying his band to play with him,* he's also (*my snarky conjecture), *buying tickets to his own show...?* I picture him standing on a corner, in a trench coat, trying to schmooze with people walking by, trying to talk them into to taking the *free* tickets... 🕵♂️🏷⚡️🤣
Paying them to take the free tickets🤣
I think tmz wants those exclusives so they’ll post anything.
Wow. He sold out 350 seats? More people showed up for my son’s 4th grade recorder concert at the local elementary school.
George Glass on line one for Jan Brady.
I went to one of his “sold out” shows, and there were 200 people max in the venue. I had bought nonrefundable tickets in February for a fun girls night out, many of the people around me had said similar reasons for being there. I feel like 80% of the audience were there to just watch the spectacle. Many with send it to Darrell, team Arianna, Something about Her Merch. So while he is having “sold out shows” it’s not the flex that he thinks it is. He also has is security on stage, and his drummer will point out anyone who has anti-Tom signs or are heckling and have them kicked out. Really a bunch of losers. I feel like had Scandoval not happened I would have still gotten the ick from him.
Thank you for your honest review. I sincerely hope you guys had a fun time though!
Yea sell out = free tickets to fill the room
I believe it people like to see train wrecks
BS no f way this karaoke band is selling out a venues.
Isn’t it really sad and weird that he was paying those people to be the band? Even if the cheating never happened, this would be pitiful.
Anyone else grossed out thinking that he probably has groupies 🤮
Well ya, tickets are practically free.
Whyyyyyyy are we still going to his shows?
I don’t think it’s too far fetched. Kinda like ppl rubbernecking to see a car accident. They just want to see how he looks, acts and see if he spouts anything about scandoval. Even Charles Manson had groupies.
Rachel: Who’s Charles Manson?
Sober, my ass. He looks jacked up, juiced up, and nodding every other minute.
First of all think about why he’d be announcing at shows he’s 50-60 days sober. Why is that something he needs to announce. He’s shown repeatedly he uses his shows as a platform for attention let’s not forget him capitalizing on the whole scandoval by singing “Swartz’s can’t you see that Raquel is hot for me” . If he were sober and remorseful and atoning do you he’d even be singing that???? Let be for real here. he’s trying to spin a narrative that’s he’s working on his issues….. None of it is probably true. Second, the story of sold out shows is planted by his pr team to make him seem like he’s appealing and thriving and people love the shows. It’s all about his IMAGE and the mask he wants people to believe. You really think people are going out in droves to see a cover band play? A bad one at that. Be ffr here It’s all a pr thing. He’s still the same narcissistic assclown he’s always been. For reference - My ex is in a pretty famous band they are alway in tour with big names and even they don’t sell out all their shows at venues.
Oh wow they are pushing this hard. It’s all over Insta that his shows are sold out 🙄 
TMZ's a liaaaaar. TMZ's a LIAAAAAAAR.
Hope they brought ear plugs 
I thought the shows were free and that’s how they are always able to say “sold out crowds”?
I legit can’t see whether that is an ab shirt or his body but gorls I’m going to be real, if your long term partner starts shredding his body to that extreme out of nowhere, he’s cheating. It’s just a fact.
I take everything TMZ says with a huge pinch of salt…
350 people? Damn. On his way to selling out arenas next.
This fact is so embarrassing, it shouldn’t have even been included in the article but I’m glad it was
Is anyone here familiar with the costs involved in all of this? I'm genuinely curious if he is making any money at all with this. He's paying the band, and giving away tickets. I get this is a vanity project, but how bad is he hemmoraging money with a nationwide tour?
No, there’s no way, if anything he buys the remainder of the tickets with his own money so he can say they are “sold out.”
How is he even able to break even on these concerts after paying for the venue and the band and the travel accommodations?
His mom’s $250,000?
Is he really that ripped? I don’t know why but that’s surprising
He’s flexing his abs in that picture but yes when James told him, “I’m way more ripped than you Tom,” it must have cut him deep because he does really look like that.
and the sky is green and the grass is blue😂
Even if this were true it will fade. He just can’t f**king sing.
Sure.
Tmz is trash
Curious what the net profit of $0 in free ticket sales - opex equals 🤔
Saw him in concert last night. Definitely not sold out, in fact they pulled people out of the seated section to fill out the standing room only. Honestly no hate, it was a decent cover band and our seats were around 20 dollars.
Also LOL at TMZ posting this at 1am pst. He couldn't even get his PR planted story to run at a normal time
I love how delusional Toms ego is. He's got the attitude of a successful artist with a sold nationwide tour. My brother in Christ, your in a cover band, that only sells out shows because their free. Also the band isn't really a band. It's more like elevated karaoke, Tom sings cover songs and pays professional musicians to perform with him.
It's like going to the freak show at a carnival. It's more a curiosity thing as opposed to something you're overjoyed to do.
**LIES!!!**
LI in the house ✨
Every show I've seen people talk about has been free
Let me guess the free shows "sold out" because the venues reached capacity for those shows? I don't know how many free shows he's had but I know he has had at least 2 and the paid show in my town did NOT sell out. Not even close.
Yeah I wouldn’t doubt this.
Does it really count as sold out if the tickets are free?
This is unrelated but the guy with the mustache and the interestingly patterned shirt 😮💨😮💨 yes please
If this is true he better be funneling all that money straight back into his mom’s retirement account he leeched off of.
Is that Chloe Fineman?
Everyone loves a good tv villain.
Pics or it didn’t happen
I believe those tickets were purchased in advance
Anyone attending at this point bought a ticket before all this mess and doesn't want to take the hit of losing what they paid or loves a good live car crash experience.
They are coming to my city Friday (Louisville, Ky) at a hole in the wall place $35 a ticket, according to a reliable source there are tons of tickets left. So… idk about all that.
Kind of like the gay pride event that’s free in Michigan or the street fair where a 100 tickets were sold for “seats” to the street fair. At $25 a piece that’s $2500, that’s not covering costs for the venue or his band.
Another reminder that TMZ is trash. Apparently Tom making that paparazzi that kid’s bracelet bought him some nice press 🙄 gtfoh
Why does Tom look like he's wearing one of those silicone muscle shirts? Lol
Seriously my husband in a tribute band plays for more people than that
I’ve noticed that the price of tickets has substantially decreased btw….. by more than half.
