If you say so. I believe that this is strongly a function of the band's stature. Perhaps UW is far enough established that you're right. Plenty of bands barely break even on tour.

But anyway, suppose UW are fine with the ticket sales. They can choose to do whatever they want on any night. They have chosen for quite a while now to play the same gig each night regardless of whether a newbie or a 25 year veteran is in the crowd. Doesn't that tell you something?
