I have been to the arena more than 30 times so if anything I know the capacity. No tickets were sold for section C, and 1/3 of section B was closed. And they covered a lots of the seats in the A section cause it would look bad.
I love Nicki and I wish her the best, but don't deny facts and stats. I hate when people do that. Face the truth instead of trying to protect it. She still did good, from playing in Annexet last time with 3-3.5k ppl to Ericsson Globe, she managed to double her audience. My source is Aftonbladet, Sweden's biggest newssite.
"It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts" - Wikipedia

No offence, but seeing your comment, you definitely don't know about the capacity of your arena. 16k is obviously for end-stage concerts.
Here are some proofs with Billboard boxscores:
'The Born This Way Ball', Lady Gaga (2012): 13,723* (x2)
(27,447)
'The Mrs Carter Show', Beyoncé (2013): 13,934*
'Diamonds World Tour', Rihanna (2013): 13,929*
'The Truth About Love Tour', P!nk (2013): 14,975
(biggest attendance**)
*Here is the usual capacity for end-stage sold-out concerts.
**It was almost a center stage configuration because they even sold seats behind the stage.
No problem if you're sure the arena has a capacity of 16k but I defy you to find some boxscores to prove it. Don't use Wikipedia as a source when it comes to capacities, just use receipts like boxscores.
And the capacity for Nicki was surely less than that because like you said, some sections weren't on sale. But when I checked AXS yesterday, there were only a few seats left in the back from the tickets put on sales.
I also remember magazines/medias saying that Gaga sold 5k in Oslo and she sold 9k, or 15k in Atlanta while she sold 10k... Usually, promoters don't give the numbers publicly except when they're releasing them with Billboard. You should only believe in their boxscores

nobody I know wants to go see Nicki
