What surprises me is that she’s not playing the Office Depot Center or American Airlines Arena - whatever they’re called now - which Fleetwood Mac played in. I guess the promoter doesn’t think she could sell 19,000 tickets in FL or Miami. She is playing the big arena in Tampa though.
Stevie is touring nonstop now. I wonder if she’ll actually try for high notes for these prices or just reward the audience with 8 minutes of head shaking.

100% very true. It is a smaller venue which does increase the price. Maybe ticket sales are not as strong as a few years ago OR the arena was booked when she was in Florida already. She's playing Tampa the night before or something. Did she not get 17,000 people in Hershey, PA last year?
However when you think about it, it does not seem right to increase prices just because a venue is smaller. That is not the fan's fault.
I wonder if bands get some sort of perk playing Hard Rock. The promoters must guarantee a bigger profit or something. Buck/Vie was playing small theaters and I was looking forward to that. Instead they played Hard Rock. Its definitely convenient for the band because they have VIP hotel rooms right at the venue.
