Perez Hilton previously reported that in order to make the arena seemed packed, the venue cut off the lawn - which seats thousands - and relocated the audience to the front. He also quoted sources who claimed Live Nation reps were giving out free tickets outside the venue after failing to sell four tickets for only $40.
Blake has the perfect reaction to that rumor.
Yeah but there's no story if you mention that part..https://t.co/5YgPmcaayt
