Team Britney Spears: Tickets are selling, no lip-syncing and son will not be on Vegas stage

Team Britney is firing back at a few recent allegations in relation to her upcoming run in Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

First up is the allegations that have surfaced claiming that the “Work B*tch” singer will be lip-syncing her “Britney Spears: Piece of Me” shows. Her PR folks had already countered this but are now in full-on “she’s singing” defense mode after Radar Online quoted an employee source at Planet Hollywood stating that she would be using “live” tracks for playback.

“Britney Spears will be singing live during her show and she will not be ‘lip-syncing.’” Spears manager Larry Rudolph recently said, “There might be some numbers where she’s full out dancing with a (vocal) track underneath her, but there won’t be any lip-syncing across the board on anything.”

Next are the reports that tickets haven’t been selling well for the dates.

“The truth is that ticket sales have been extraordinary and the first 16 shows are virtual sell-outs, with more than 95% of the tickets being sold. Of the 73,600 tickets that went on sale for the first 16 shows at Planet Hollywood, beginning Dec. 27, a total of 70,242 were sold, Spears’ representative added. Nearly all of the 3,358 remaining tickets for those shows are in the ‘nosebleed’ section of the theater, so the fact that such tickets might still be available is inconsequential,” her rep said.

And finally is the hint that Britney gave in regards to the possibility of her son, Sean Preston, joining her on stage during a few of the gigs. During her announcement, she was quoted as saying, “Preston will probably be on stage but I think Jayden would have a hard time with it.”

TMZ caught up with Kevin Federline and he made it very clear that their 8-year-old son would not be performing on stage. Britney’s rep stated that the singer was “joking” when she made that statement.

There is a history of Spears bringing Sean Preston on stage to dance during tour stops and there was contention in the past between the parents in regards to Britney having them on the road.
