But Thursday was all about "Style" as fans waited in line for hours for new merch. Some even camped out overnight.
"I've been here since 2 a.m., so we got what we wanted," said one fan.
The tickets still on sale for the shows are fetching thousands of dollars. As of Thursday, some of the most expensive tickets were near $8,000.
"This is nothing compared to what I had to do to get tickets. That was the worst day of my life but I got them," said Shannon Steacker, of Sicklerville.
