    Default Trump's Houston 'History Tour' Event Sees Closed Upper Section, More Empty Seats

    Donald Trump and television host Bill O'Reilly's 'History Tour' event in Houston had lots of empty seats on Saturday—although thousands were still in attendance.

    The Houston event took place at the Toyota Center, which purportedly has capacity for up to 19,000 attendees. Photos and video shared by Houston Chronicle reporter Jeremy Wallace showed the upper sections of the stadium with many open seats, as well as quite a few empty chairs on the main floor about five minutes before the event was set to begin.

    "Lots of room to spread out," Wallace wrote in a Saturday tweet, sharing images of the crowd size.

    The tour held its first stops in Florida last weekend, with events in Sunrise and Orlando. Local journalists at the Sunrise event shared a similar assessment of the crowd size, with the Sun-Sentinel reporting that the "cavernous" FLA Live Arena had lots of empty seats as O'Reilly touted a "massive crowd."

    And during a resurgence of Biden's pandemic...that "he was going to stop."

    Donald Trump, Bill O'Reilly's 'History' Tour Is Over. Here's What Happened

    Donald Trump's "History Tour" with former Fox host Bill O'Reilly concluded in Dallas on Sunday.

    "Lots of energy and enthusiasm!" Trump said in a statement issued through spokeswoman Liz Harrington after the event, which also featured a photo showing the American Airlines Center appeared to be filled to capacity.

    However, that event, like the preceding three stops on the tour, was reportedly far from sold out.

    Despite the touting of massive crowds by both Trump and O'Reilly, photos and videos on social media show empty seats were a regular feature at venues throughout the tour.

    Steven Monacelli wrote in Rolling Stone that he moved from the "cheap seats in the second section" to a "half-empty" center row closer to the stage.

    The following day's event in Orlando's Amway Center also didn't sell out. The tour sold just 5,406 tickets despite a listed capacity of 8,700 and people who bought tickets to an upper bowl seat were upgraded to empty seats in the lower bowl, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

    Oh, OK. I see. The only events planned are in strong pro-Trump states.

    And even those are not getting the hope-for participation.

    FLOP!
