Well in Streisand's case she doesn't really "tour" just does a handful of shows. She has extreme stage freight and her shows are usually quite lavish with her and an orchestra. Tina Turner has retired so her last tour was her last tour so she was going out with a bang. Tina also sold out venues on that tour twice the size of what Stevie's been playing. Stevie can't fill the bigger places anymore.
It's just odd that on the Crystal Visions tour Stevie's top ticket price was $65, now two years later is $130. Even Fleetwood Mac's top price last year was $120. It's all about the promoter, they charge what they feel they can get.
