Q3, why do you think US tour would be more profitable? Just because there would be more venues? He is traveling light, and ticket prices don't seem to be lower here?? And he and the team need to travel and stay in hotel in US as well? At least Europe has small distances and tour bus would work fine. I think the reason why US tours wold be more profitable's because Adam will have lower traveling and lodging expenses for the band and crews. They will do it by bus, even if they have to fly it's not going to be as expensive as flying his band, instruments and crews to all these countries. Thank you for comments! I still don't understand why at least Europe would be more expensive.... Well, nevermind, I just hope he makes good money where ever he goes  |

Regarding Sony's FB page with the artists' montage - twitter peeps are saying the one with Adam is from July & the one without Adam is current. Apparently it is reflecting those Sony artists that are releasing currently. I thought I saw a July date on the Adam one but now it's gone, so I don't know.

The costs touring in the US or in Europe certainly would be about the same (apart from the initial flight to Europe). The difference would be in the income if venues (booked and sold) here are smaller (as dancygeorgia pointed out). Also maybe it is easier to consider risks on home turf when choosing a percentage deal as opposed to a flat-fee.
What I have been wondering when people wish for a tour is that to me it seems a long worldwide tour is much more exhausting than shorter strings of concerts. I understand that a tour implies a lot of dates and better odds to get the concert near you.
From artist's point of view, I would think they prefer tour legs of, say 3-4 weeks, then having a week or two at home in between. Being on the road for several months at a time must affect your personal life much more. In both ways there is the cost vs the income to consider but also what is most suitable or desirable for the artists.
Personally, I don't consider doing a tour as the ultimate success. These concert clusters are great and I am happy if he has the choice. Having that choice is a sign of a more established artist in my book.
Yes, the picture changes a bit if he had a whole 20-truck epuipment load with 100-people crew to move around - then a tour would be a better option - but as it is now, maybe not.

He will certainly do more dates in the US. I don't think he will do a tour the size of GNT. A major US tour would probably put a third album release at Fall 2014 (since I don't think he will want to release in the spring again, if it can be helped). This would be way too long to wait.

So far it seems to me that venues outside US are currently bigger. And I would call this, what Adam is currently doing, as touring de facto, even if tour is not named and announced. But concert clusters is as good definition. Travelling home between legs is taking effort, but if the venue size is this big, and he can sell out, I think that cost might not be the key issue. And somehow I doubt think he will not sleep in tour bus anymore, even if the band would, weather in US or in Europe. It would be most interesting to make business case for this, but so many cost factors are unknown to me |

pi, click next pic (or former) - there are several versions of the same lay-out... Thanks belle, but I saw that this had all been discussed so I deleted my post. |
