Talked to my friend from Ticketmaster. Despite the show being advertised as Sold Out last night, there was quite a bit of seats still empty at the ACC. Sucks she couldn't even fill up the venue in Toronto. It was just so different last time she came here.

The Toronto show has been sold out since 2013, though.

There's even an interactive seat map screenshot to confirm you couldn't buy a single ticket anymore.
It's no surprise venues end up adding extra tickets by the time the concert gets closer, though. They're usually nosebleed ones or from unsold VIP packages. There were probably like 100 tickets still available yesterday because of that, and wow, considering the arena hols like 14,000 people, shocking indeed.

Not to mention a big part of these were most likely bought last minute at the arena box office and the empty seats you're talking about could be unsold StubHub tickets, something that doesn't really matter considering they were once bought on Ticketmaster and are counted as sales whether people show up or not.
