I had the impression that most tours are NOT profit makers.  
There are lighting, multimedia, staging, insurance, roadie  
costs.. etc.

Ticket systems are another joke/ripoff. They allow large groups  
of tickets to be sold and then those same tickets get scalped  
to desparate fans.  The performer doesn't get the benefit of  
the increased prices.
