sell-outs

No tickets left

Sell-outs is the plural of sell-out, which has two main senses.

A sell-out is an event for which all tickets have been sold: The concert was a sell-out.

More critically, a sell-out is someone who abandons principles for personal gain—an artist who goes commercial, an activist who joins the establishment: Old fans called her a sell-out after she signed with the major label.
