Rihanna is no Justin Bieber. Although the coveted golden circle tickets for the Diamonds diva’s October 13 Joburg concert sold out in less than half an hour after sales opened on Thursday, many sections still had seats remaining.
In comparison, all 62,000 tickets of Bieber’s May concert sold out within three hours of opening.
Rihanna has since became a radio staple, winning several Grammy awards and is frequently in the news for her abusive relationship with crooner Chris Brown.
The speed of selling out is not essential. The essential thing is that she is still going to sell that stadium out. This is even better actually, at least no one will bitch that he missed the sale.
