Vince Vaughn will head to Australia next month to attend a series of business industry events.
However, it appears the 54-year-old Hollywood star’s show in Sydney is having trouble selling tickets for the ‘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 5 conference session.
Tickets for the full-day conference hosted at The Star Sydney previously started at $156.96 for general admission, with a “platinum” meet-and-greet 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 the others.”

The Hollywood comedian, who was once romantically involved with Jennifer Aniston, seems too expensive for some businessmen.
“We decided to offer a couple hundred for free because we got a lot of messages from people saying they wanted to come but couldn’t afford it,” Donati said.
As a result, initial ticket holders have had their tickets upgraded and current general admission to the Dodgeball star’s event is now free.
“We upgraded everyone who bought a general admission ticket to VIP and then offered a few hundred free general admission tickets for a couple of weeks,” the conference organizer said.

Donati stated that although the event might be smaller than what he was used to hosting, he expected a decent crowd.
“There will still be about 1,000 people,” he said.
Vaughn recently confirmed his and Ben Stiller’s interest in making a sequel to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, as long as it includes quality material.
“We upgraded everyone who bought a general admission ticket to VIP and then offered a few hundred free general admission tickets for a couple of weeks,” the conference organizer said.
“They’ve always talked about this stuff and I had an idea that was fun and the studio likes it, so we’ll see where it goes,” Vaughn said. The Hollywood Reporter last year.
In the original film, written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the story follows a group of misfits who participate in a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas to save their prized local gym from attack by a corporate health and fitness chain.
It became a hit with fans at the global 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 Globo Gym owner who tried to buy Average Joe’s, but only if there is a fun and original script.
“I think Ben (Stiller) is open to doing it, I think he’s in the same boat as me, and if it’s a really fun and cool idea then it’s fun, but if it’s something that needs to be done again, why ?’ Vaughn explained.
