Band just loses potential bonus income on the revenue beyond expection or potenatial multiple night stands or 2nd and 3rd routings as promoters won’t risk it, unless guarantees are reduced to be more in line with actual revenues.
But if it turns out to be a great show, which it actually has the potential to be then it will sell. It's way too early to call it a failure.
