Tottenham Hotspur Stadium general capacity confirmed directly by the club. 45,000 attendance figure reported by CNN; Pulse Sports separately reported the show may not have fully sold out, a genuine source conflict not resolved to a single verified figure, stated as such rather than silently picking one account. This does not affect tier status, as the qualifying country requirement is independently satisfied through O2 Arena and Madison Square Garden regardless. O2 Arena, Accor Arena, and Madison Square Garden dates each independently corroborated. Confidence: VERIFIED for tier-qualifying evidence; sell-out status specifically flagged as CONFLICTING rather than VERIFIED.
