Billboard Lies About Gaga Concert Numbers

Gaga played last night to a very full (but not sold out) crowd at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Pictures and videos of the show made the rounds on Twitter, and we could see some empty seats in the crowd. Of course we already knew the show wasn't sold out, because Ticketmaster was still selling tickets for as long as they could. 

I don't know exactly how many tickets were sold (if someone has a good resource and number, send it on over), but estimates are that she sold around 13,000/14,000 (90%).

So at the VERY MOST, she could sell 14,000 tickets (but, again, didn't).

Yet Billboard is reporting that she played to over 15,000 people.

Are they including the staff at Philips Arena in that number, or what?

Concert capacity at Philips Arena is 17,700, by the way.

Also, no surprises here but Gagadaily is trying to push a fake "sold out" story.
