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.
Right, I'm not saying which artists shows suit a smaller venue more though, but rather that smaller venues must have some kind of money making incentive for the record company considering the fact that she could have always been doing arena tours, but instead would rather do super long hall tours.
