There has to be a lot of financial merit to hall shows considering Namie did a number of hall tours when she easily could have been doing arenas instead.
As opposed to Ayu though, I always feel like Namie's Arena tours aren't really a spectacle. Her stage is usually simplistic, and relies mostly on screens and light shows, which can down scale a lot more easily. She also doesn't have much by way of band, performers, and dancers (as opposed to Ayu's giant troupe) -- so smaller venues seem like a no brainer for her. I also think there's something that creates higher demand when it's smaller venues, because the tickets are harder to get and thus seem more elusive or something.
