Why not just report those dates as 100% like Madonna does?

Why is she bombing this hard? 
She was bound to start declining with album/singles but for someone with her career she should be smashing with tours.

Because they aren't sold out? It has to meet the minimum number of tickets set by the venue lol

EDMONTON:
Rihanna: 10,200 / 10,835 ($730k)
Katy Perry: 12,556 / 12,556 ($1,080k)
Madonna: 13,046 / 13,046 ($1,708k)
Rihanna (DWT): 13,133 / 13,133 ($1,008K)
Gaga: 13,855 / 13,855 ($1,053k)
She doesn't have to sell more seats. The overall capacity has even been reduced by about 3,000 people

My point is, other artists (like Madonna) don't sell out but come close 90%+ but the boxscores are reported as 100%.

Why is she bombing? 
Wasn't she an icon? Most of her fans claim it and I believed them.

Embarrassing.
Poor Rihanna. She just cannot win. She waited too long and people moved on.

Just because her tour is underperforming doesn't mean she's not an icon.
Don't forget the 9 week #1 career defining hit that just happened.

Guys could you explain me why is she bombing? I mean you Navys told me she was a LEGEND (she's clearly not) but she can't even have a sold out tour ? Why? How?

She has no reputation as a good live act, why are people surprised she's not doing well?
Over here, there are plenty of tickets available for her Aviva show (you can still book eight seats in multiple blocks) whereas Beyoncé sold out Croker in a couple of hours.

So Carly Rae Jepsen is an icon too?

I'm still shocked of how they booked all these stadiums across Europe.
Not even Madonna, which grossed over 300M with her latest tour, didn't book such stadiums with her Rebel Heart Tour.
No wonder they had to cancel two stadium shows in the UK already. Seems like they were doing really bad, considering how the cancellation of a show for such a big name, like Rihanna, can only hurt her reputation.
Usually, when shows from such big artists aren't doing well, they are moved to smaller arenas. Cancellation only occurs when there's no other choice left because of the low number of tickets sold.
Rihanna IS a big touring artist. You have to be delusional to not agree with that, but the decision her team made to book all these stadiums was simply delusional.
Me, as a lot of other people, would likely prefer to see an artist in an arena, where you get to be closer to them, the access isn't that hard, the atmosphere is more intimate, the sound and the lighting are better, instead of going to a half sold stadium show, only booked by the artist for the sake of showing what a reputable touring act he is.
As I said, if Madonna, the biggest female touring act EVER, didn't insist on booking such shows, why would Rihanna? And why with ANTI? If I' m not mistaken, they booked even more stadiums than they did last time with the DWT, while last time she had a very successful era, with two worldwide smash hits.

Toronto (1st show), Brooklyn (1st show), Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles (both shows) are/were sold-out, and some others are selling well. It's just that Pollstar are reporting the worst for the moment.

Billboard only reported the Nashville and two Montreal shows. The others are from Pollstar. From the 30 shows she's performed we only have 3.

Yeah, I agree... I mean, they booked 5 huge stadiums in Germany (250,000+ capacity). I don't even know who would be able to sell out those 5 stadiums at the same time nowadays... They should've mix arenas + some stadiums from the beggining in Europe...
