A woman attending a Britney Spears concert in Dublin has died after falling from a fairground ride.

The 31-year-old is understood to have been on the ride outside the O2 arena when she was thrown to the ground last night.

Gardai said the incident happened at around 11.20pm.

It is believed the woman died instantly and her body was removed from the scene. She had been at the concert earlier in the evening.

The area outside the venue has been sealed off ahead of a forensic examination by Garda technical experts.

Officers at Store Street have launched an inquiry. The Health and Safety Authority has also been asked to investigate the death.

It is understood there were a number of fairground rides outside O2 for the event.

The Mirror reported yesterday that Britney, who today was nominated for the Worldwide Act for this year’s MTV EMA awards, is failing to sell tickets to one of her UK gigs despite slashing the price.

The singer’s raunchy Femme Fatale tour hits Birmingham on October 30 but staff at the 16,000-capacity LG Arena fear empty seats.

A ticket seller said: “It’s probably about half-full. There’s good availability.”

Around 500 standing tickets are unsold and 11 seat blocks have space even after a cover-price offer of £30 down from £55 on discount site Groupon and a buy 10 get two free deal.

The 29-year-old’s “spectacular” show, one of eight UK dates, was expected to sell out. Rolling Stone said it was “her flashiest yet”.

After meltdown and rehab, the troubled singer hopes the tour will cement her return to pop’s A-list.

Promoter Live Nation said: “Offering a deal on Groupon is not a reflection of the quality or status or sales of a show.”

Britney has also tweeted the following:

I was saddened to hear of the tragic accident in Dublin. My heart goes out to the family. -Britney

On Britney Spears’ latest release, B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2, which dropped Tuesday (October 11), a group of dance music’s biggest names have put their stamp on some of the singer’s most-popular tunes from the past few years.

Chopped, screwed and broken down, the songs reach new extremes. “It’s cool that big mainstream pop artists let their music be remixed by people in the underground, like me,” Kaskade, who contributed his version of “Gimme More,” told MTV News. “It shines a new light on the EDM scene and how far it can reach. I give Britney props for taking chances and letting dance music be heard by the masses.”

Kaskade is one of many EDM artists who appear on the album. He and other DJs who contributed say it’s been a gratifying experience.

“She’s been a pop icon for so long. I appreciate a lot of the values she brings to music,” Cobra Starship’s Alex Suarez explained. “She sings really well. I appreciate her talents. I definitely respect what she does and why she’s successful.

“I’m impressed people stick by her, and when I got the opportunity, I was like, ‘Wow.’ Britney Spears is huge. She’s a huge name worldwide.’ ”

Suarez remixed “Till the World Ends” and said he didn’t want to go too far off course for his take on the Femme Fatale single. “I thought the original was really good to begin with,” he explained. “I thought I wanted to make this as special as I can. I tried to stick true to the structure of the song.

“Sometimes, you get remixes and they chop it up and mix it around, which is cool. The thing with a Britney Spears remix is people like to sing along.”

Kaskade explained that he was “excited at the chance to get to mess with” “Gimme More,” and he wanted to make sure his remix worked with his musical style. “I wanted to make sure that it would be something that would eventually fit into my live set,” he said. “That is the true test for me: Taking a huge pop vocal and making it work with my music can be a little tricky, but I find the challenge fun. I really dig what Brit does, and this song is awesome, so I was really excited.”

The album is a blend of old and new remixes: EDM superstar Tiësto, who banked his “Piece of Me” remix ages before, said it’s cool to be included. “That already happened like four or five years ago. That remix is pretty old, but it’s funny they put it on the album ’cause it’s a timeless remix,” Tiësto told MTV News. “I was always proud of that remix, because the opinions about Britney are different, but what I did with that remix is pretty special. The melody, the atmosphere is totally different than the original. For me, it’s always been a special remix. I’m glad they added that on the album.”

The track list also includes “Radar” (Tonal Club Remix), “Womanizer” (Benny Benassi Extended), “Circus” (Linus Loves Remix), “If U Seek Amy” (U-Tern Remix), “3″ (Manhattan Clique Club Remix), “I Wanna Go” (Gareth Emery Remix) and “Criminal” (Radio Mix).
