Honestly, though, I bet she could fill up the O2 and MSG, but if those were the only shows in Europe/America. Like when fans flock from around the USA travel to NYC/LA, or fan flock from Europe to London/Paris, they would do the same if these were her only performances. I know I would!! But again, Avex probably doesn't want to risk it.

She could sell out MSG if she started promoting it 6 months ~ 1 year earlier to give people enough time to plan a travel to New York. The same would work for the O2... But it would be like, 1 concert on either place, never on both.
Ivete Sangalo, that would be the Ayu's popularity equivalent in Brazil during the 00s, sold out a concert on the MSG by annoucing it far earlier and making partnership with a air company, what alouded the Arena to be filled with 1/3 of people who lived in Brazil... And she is pretty much nobody on the USA.
She didn't make money from this concert, through... She made money with DVD sales (this concert was recorded) and by touring the show after recording it.
