A sell-out Britney Spears show that ran until early Saturday ground to a standstill traffic in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital Abu Dhabi.

The show, part of the Abu Dhabi F1 arena performances, drew a crowd of more than 15,000 from the UAE and neighbouring countries, organisers told dpa.

Though tickets cost 300 dollars, heavy demand pushed prices up to 1,500 dollars per seat, newspapers reported Saturday.

The US star flitted across the stage clad in Samurai garb and other costumes. The Abu Dhabi performance was part of Spears' Femme Fatale concert tour, named after her latest album.
