And if you're playing stadiums at lowered prices you are building your own stage structure, renting port-a-potties, hiring extra security, paying for damage to the soccer field, and often times paying for breaking curfews because you were sleeping off a hangover. It can cost over $1 million to stage a stadium show.
Now, compare that to having your own production company, paying for and producing your own tours (taking the risk if it were to fail), playing arenas (where rent is cheaper), and only having to bring in your lighting and sound, paying promoters a fee only to promote and keeping a higher percentage of the profits since you virtually paid for everything with your money and Pepsi's money and did things for yourself versus paying people in Beyonce's household to do things for you.
The facts remain the same and I'm sorry that you don't seem to get it.
