Yeah I've thought about this before and also wondered even if these arenas dates don't sell out if it would be more financially viable than selling out smaller venues. I don't know the in's and out's of booking tours obviously, but I would have thought it's generally more lucrative playing arenas than smaller venues (I could be completely wrong though, so don't crucify me if that's not how it works ).

I'm not massively thrilled with arenas and was a bit surprised they went down that route for this tour, but oh well. They curtained off the upper tiers at some venues on the EMG20 tour (and the sort-of-but-not Futurology tour), so I guess that can't be a major concern if they've booked similar sized venues again.
