For free babe, and no my friend didn't lie. It was half empty we still have the pictures of the crowd. So what's the truth?
Box office scores don't lie. It's a huge stadium with a bigger capacity than the amount of tickets they put for sale. Blank spots in the crowd are indeed possible.
Actually looking at other acts playing there in recent years it's really low. Muse did the same with 40k tickets sold.
No she's doing pretty well. Her tickets are about $70.40 so considering she's already at a disadvantage she's doing pretty well comparatively. But this isn't the most accurate way to assume, since the number of tickets available/sold on each tier will shift the gross.

Roger Waters
$4,257,133
47,414/47,500
$97.50, $50.70 = $74.10
One Direction (2 shows):
$7,859,850 = $3,929925
103,551/103,551 = 51,775
$75.90
Umm... How is that pretty well with receipts you posted, please explain?
Even dirsregarding that two shows tend to (on average) gross less than one show where you can raise prices due to better supply/demand ratio.
Both Colplay and B did significantly better this year around the same time, like 25% to 33% better. 1D did better 2 years ago, so did Roger Waters. Anti is the lowest grossing hi-profile concert there in years, so it seems. And the price of tickets is only disadvantage because there wasn't demand for them. DWT tickes were $70.56 average so even there you have a decline.

Those are not good examples. Rihanna has one of the lowest grossing tours there for a high profile act like someone already pointed out.
Also, her "low" ticket price is a reflection of lack of demand is it not? Not trying to drag, but the results are kinda a decline from her previous tour and it's fair to point that out like we do for every other artists concerts inclines/declines. The downgrade from Stadiums really affected the overall gross I believe?

It's not low demand, it's availability. She did twice as many dates than Beyonce in Europe and still sold like 90% of tickets. Doing 5 stadiums in Germany and 4 in France is unheard of for pop acts.
And she downgraded 2 shows. Literally two of dozens.

You guys really reach. I'm not making excuses for Rihanna nor would I for any artist. Look at her and One Direction since their numbers are closer in attendance and prices. Their difference is about $400,000 and you guys are acting like it's $1.2 million more.
The ticket prices are not a justification of 'low demand'. Of course some artists like Madonna, Barbara Streisand and The Rolling Stones who have always have more premium priced tickets, but the lower end will then drop the average. Picking Madonna for example her show in Bangkok was priced between $56 and $848 making the 'average' ticket being sold $452 which we know isn't true since this is only representing the range of the tickets, not the median since we don't have the numbers between those tiers.
We also don't have the the numbers of availability/tickets sold per tier so if Madonna has 19,930 tickets and only 1000 of those were set at the $848 range and for this sake of argument the other 18,930 were at $56 that would only be $1,060,080 and $848,000 totalling $1,908,080 that's not accurate to her actual gross of $4,584,740.

Oh come on, all you do is run in every Rihanna thread to throw shade/drag her. You and that other Beyoncé fan are obviously upset because y'all wanted to see something like:
Amsterdam Arena
25,000/50,000 (50%)
$1,500,000
Turns out her "half empty show" was basically sold out with over 50k people in attendance. Get over it.
