Nicole Scherzinger is offering fans an £856 meet-and-greet package as the Pussycat Dolls look to recoup money after cancelling their US tour dates because of weak ticket sales.
In May, the group scrapped 33 shows across the US and Canada after poor sales left arenas around 80 per cent empty.
The dates were cancelled just one month before the first concert was due to take place in California, despite organisers reducing ticket prices to $30 (£22).
The group has since faced another setback, with tickets for its upcoming UK shows reduced to just £37.
Nicole, who is touring alongside Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt, is now giving fans the opportunity to meet her at every remaining date.
Advertised as the ‘ultimate experience’, the package includes time with Nicole, a photograph, entry to a pre-show soundcheck and Q&A, plus the chance to take part in the singer’s pre-show ritual.

It is not known exactly what the ritual involves, although Nicole has previously said that she prepares for concerts by lighting a candle and listening to calming music.
Speaking in 2024 while appearing in Sunset Boulevard on Broadway, she said: ‘Before the show, I’m usually in my dressing room doing vocal and physical warm-ups and focusing on breath.
‘I try and protect that sense of calm before a show.’
Meanwhile, fans can take advantage of a limited-time Ticketmaster offer allowing four tickets to be bought for £150, working out at £37.50 per person.

The Pussycat Dolls’ comeback has been surrounded by controversy following the exclusion of three founding members (from left, Kimberly, Melody Thornton, Ashley, Nicole, Jessica Sutta and Carmit Bachar, in 2005)
Following their European shows, the trio will begin the UK leg at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on September 29, before travelling to Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on September 30.
The tour then heads to Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester throughout October, concluding at London’s O2 on October 13.
The ticket news comes as Kimberly hinted that this could be the last time the group reunites for a tour.
In an exclusive interview with Our News Outlet, she said: ‘I think going on stage knowing it could be your last is something really special because you don’t miss any of those moments.
‘I think we’re all in that same headspace about this and we are able to kind of tackle it as grown women.’
The hitmaker continued: ‘It doesn’t feel like it’s so much about proving ourselves.
‘It’s really about just embracing the fact that we did something really awesome together and that nostalgia factor is still there.
‘It’s another opportunity to show up for each other and come together as the three and be really mindful of you just never know when your last performance might be.’
When asked what it was like to reunite with her former bandmates after such a long period, Kimberly said: ‘Wow. I mean, a lot of life has passed. Like it’s just unbelievable to have lived so much life since.
‘I’ve created a new life for myself with my husband and my three kids in Surrey to have a dance academy, doing radio and DJing. I’ve sort of lived this whole new life.
‘This tour is about being really open about who we are and who we’ve become after all of these years, but also just a real acceptance for giving us the space to rework what this means to us.’
The Pussycat Dolls’ comeback has been marred in controversy due to the exclusion of three of the group’s founding members, Carmit Bachar, 52, Jessica Sutta, 44, and Melody Thornton, 41.
Carmit and Jessica have since revealed they were both blindsided by the reunion and were never even asked to take part, with the latter going as far as to call it a ‘cash grab’ .
Asked by a fan if she was going to meet up with the rest of the Pussycat Dolls , Jessica replied: ‘No, I’m not. They have been planning it for a year and blatantly didn’t ask Carmit and I.
‘We are finding it all out the same time you are. I was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.’
