Some tickets are sold direct, others through third parties. Who were selling tickets up until an hour before the show last night. At a great discount. To sell out - you have to sell out everywhere!
I am not saying she isn't popular or sold very well, but it wasn't a sell out. Even if the touts and dealers snapped up the last few and Gaga etc get their money - the people aren't in there and the headlines of bargain tickets doesn't do any good for image when the media have already began their campaign to bring her down. (You know - the British media and their building of an icon only to rip it down)”
I tried to get tickets on the day, at 9am and I failed. They only added tickets
Iike a week before because once they've set up the stage they can see what extra seats they could add
Anyway we'll see when the official billboard figures come out because they only incorporate bought tickets, they don't lie. I doubt she would be bothered about the media tryna bring her down when she's about to have one of the biggest tours by a female ever, and on an "underperforming" album
