I don't think that Pittsburgh show last month sold out. It sold well but not sold out. I think the big market arenas are selling out. Even The Forum show now has seats left.

Those stadiums can hold 60k but the way the stage is set in the stadiums, uses only a smaller part compared to a football game. I don't think the proceeds are 50/50. So if 20k to 25k people show up and Billy gets 60% then Stevie can make more by selling out her own arena or make the same. She was taking the stage while it was still daylight out which is so against her grain since she is a nightbird. People still flocking to the seats, etc. If the venture was so profitable for her I doubt she would have broke ties. But we may never know.
