Venues will always claim to be sold out because it makes the venue look better, more appealing.
Most hockey and football venues will claim sold out status AT THE EVENT, whether they are or not. Hypes crowds for upcoming games.
The only way to know for sure, is to ck Ticketmaster (or sites similar) just before an event to get an accurate reading of what is left for sale.

I have no idea how well the show sold, but I have seen many reviews that said whether an arena sold out or not- many times they'll even give a number, which I assume they were told by the venue. So I really question your comment that "articles will always write that venues were sold out, it helps to sell more tickets to subsequent shows." Why would the writer care how subsequent shows sell? A writer is not going to lie about it.
