I don't think this is "sneaky" - to use the term from the article. Yes, on the one hand a band could maximize by playing in a larger venue, but maybe doing so diminishes the experience for more people. Smaller venues, greater precision, and budgeting, and a better experience for the audience seems like a win.

Not quite sure this is an issue that needs an article in Bloomberg

Maybe it’s the old man in me but I’d venture to say most things in Bloomberg don’t need to be in Bloomberg.

I’d love it if a news site said occasionally, “there’s nothing really news worthy today. Yesterday’s important stuff will do.”

Also I’m mad I can’t get tickets to see angine de poitrine in Philly.

And from what I’ve experienced: bigger shows aren’t cheaper! Smaller for the win.

There’s always risks with putting on a show - and the financial risks of underselling may be on the band.
