Ashlee Simpson’s Vegas Return: Ticket Prices, Dates and What to Expect
Sage Matthews reporting. Of course Ashlee Simpson booked a Las Vegas run in 2025, because if the economy, attention spans, and pop careers are collapsing we might as well sell a few hundred seats in a 1,000-seat theater and call it a comeback.
If you are awake at 2 AM scrolling and muttering that line about everything falling apart, here is the situation. Ashlee Simpson will perform a short residency titled I Am Me at Voltaire at the Venetian beginning August 29, 2025. The run was recently extended to seven shows, with dates on August 29 and 30, and a September stretch on the 19th, 20th, 24th, 26th, and 27th. Simpson announced the shows on Instagram and promised an intimate experience at the 1,000-seat Voltaire theater, saying she wanted the performance to feel personal and special.
Let us parse the financial reality for the nostalgics. At publication, the cheapest tickets found on the secondary market were about $104.46 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other performances had entry points starting near $168.17 including fees. Those numbers are not carved in granite. Secondary market prices fluctuate with demand, time to show, and whatever mood the ticket scalpers are in. The New York Post confirmed these price checks at time of reporting and Vivid Seats is the source for the listings and buyer guarantee details. Vivid Seats markets itself as a verified secondary platform with a 100 percent buyer guarantee assuring delivery of tickets prior to event time. If you enjoy surprises at checkout, be aware additional fees may apply.
Context matters here, if you care to remember the peak years. Simpson has not been a headliner in nearly two decades. She played sporadic club gigs and TV spots around 2008 and her last full headlining run was the L.O.V.E. Tour in 2006. Set List FM archives show that her typical set back then included hits such as “Pieces of Me,” “L.O.V.E.,” “La La,” “Boyfriend,” and fan favorites and covers. That 2006 Jones Beach Theatre set list included 19 songs and an encore with “L.O.V.E.” and “Pieces of Me.” Whether she will resurrect that full catalog for Voltaire is unclear, but her 2006 output gives a reasonable template for what nostalgic ticket buyers might expect.
New material? Not much. Since the mid-2000s Simpson has released almost nothing, with 2012 single “Bat For A Heart” being one of the few post-album entries. So this residency reads like a nostalgia play. Fans buying a $100 plus ticket are mostly paying for the memory, the closer view, and the performative reassurance that some part of pop culture from the early 2000s still exists and can be revived under Vegas lights.
Logistics: Voltaire at the Venetian is intimate by Vegas standards. If you want to plan, check show start times and ticket links because the cheapest seats may vanish fast. Secondary market seats can be above or below face value depending on how many other people decide to cling to the past. The New York Post compiled the dates and price checks used here and linked to Vivid Seats for purchasing; Set List FM provided archival set lists used to sketch likely song choices.
So yes, buy a ticket if you want to watch a 2000s pop moment live and personal. Spend the $100 plus fees if you enjoy that brand of nostalgia. Or stand in the dark common room of the internet muttering that the world is a smaller, louder, and stranger place than it used to be while sipping whatever regrets you prefer. Either way, the shows are set, the prices are listed, and Vegas will take your money with a smile.
Anyway, brace yourselves and maybe keep an eye on those resale prices; the past always comes back to collect the cover charge.
