Britney’s team should had chosen Madison Square Garden

[Toxicboy07]

They are trying to play it safe By having her perform is smaller venues in the states. They should go for bigger venues like Madison Square Garden. She will sell out. 

[Allmylife]

I think it's also because britney has a new show next year and they want to make sure it sells out 

[urawomanizerrr]

Idk did anyone think it is weird too how she is playing all casino affiliated venues besides radio city right ?

[tommy_boy]

Maybe they're just "playing safe" to watch how much she sells and people reaction, so in the future plan a big tour I guess.

Not gonna lie, but that's pretty much what I've been thinking too for quite a while. They seem to have a pattern as well.
Everything they do lately regarding shows seem like 'testing the water' situations in order to gain bigger crowds and secure her as both a residency and touring force.
They went to Vegas, tested that and it was a success, so they extended it for another 2 years while also testing the same show at festivals during the Glory era.
They then tested it in Asia last year in arenas, with as well as testing it on a 55/60k crowd.
Now they're testing it again in theaters and arenas in other US states, Europe and within the UK.
Its like they do everything in baby steps to be smart and careful to found out their options and possibilities, that way... they know what they can do with those options in the future.
Its clear she is building herself towards becoming a consistent success as an entertainer, whether that be within a theater, arena, festival or even a stadium. 
When we saw Larry's comment years ago about how albums don't sell any more, album promo has become less important and show promo has become #1 top priority.
So I think this is what they will focus more on now as they don't feel confident with the current, crippling music industry and music sales.
I also wouldn't at all put it past them if they're interested in building towards stadium tours within the next 5 to 10 years either for her 30th anniversary. 
If they are thinking or building towards that for her 30 year milestone, then I think she's definitely going about it the right way seeing as its actually working.

Smaller venues are funner than larger ones from a fan’s perspective. And she can always add more dates. Plus charge more for tickets. Plus the POM stage looks better in smaller venues anyway.

The list goes on.

I think time is majorly helping her tbh

Its been almost a decade since she was in Europe. That is playing a huge part of the success. 

I feel like Britney really needs to rebrand if she wants to be a stable touring force. Madonna you know each show will bring new versions of her songs. With Britney it’s very limited especially just touring on GH. 

 

[really really cool guy]

Their strategy is working well. They knew what they were doing and I'm sure that many confirmed dates haven't been announced yet. team b is smarter than you think 

[urawomanizerrr]

I just don’t see Britney touring again like she used to I think she deff will stay in Vegas

Yeah I completely agree. Time does play into it, but I also even feel like image, reputation and staying low-key does too.
I know for some fans, they think her image/rep could be improved, which it totally could imo.
However I've noticed for the general public and old fans, when they think back to 07 Britney or FFney and then see today's Britney that's fit, toned and much more into what she's doing... with as well as no longer being a scandalous tabloid obsession, they seem to recognise how far she's come since then, unlike fans that are continuously up to date with her for example. Some then I feel get a rush of nostalgia and sorta miss her.
I noticed that during her new years performance. Then weeks later she announces tour dates. That performance for new years makes sense to me now. It worked in her favour I feel. I do agree with rebranding her too. Though I have a feeling that could may happen next year, even if its super low-key.

I think this is going to be her new way of touring if it goes well; very similar to how broadway shows do their shows/tours. Broadway shows usually do their run in one of the broadway theaters for about a year and a half to two years and then take the show on tour in a few cities (only difference is the show continues on broadway while the tour happens simultaneously). Who knows, maybe this concept will be followed by other artists as well if they find it to be successful.

I agree with this a lot. I can’t see her doing huge blown world tours all the time esp because of her boys and their schooling etc !!she has made it clear she loves performing so idk. I agree

I don't think she will like she used to, no, but I expect that this will be the new thing-- mini tours. Just like other Vegas acts. As for now, this does seem more like a testing the waters thing as for why the venues are smaller, along with a lot of other reasons that have been given here and in other threads.

I actually think the smaller venues are smart on their part.

[BritintheZone]

We wish ! It would had made the tickets cheaper 

but whatever b team are smart and playing safe

Yeah could very well end up being that way tbh.
I don't see her just strictly staying as a residency act any more like I used to.
I do definitely see her in and out of them, but I think she'll either tour those residency shows around the world with theater dates, arena dates, festival dates and maybe eventually even limited stadium dates too. Who knows if that'll actually happen though. However from the looks of their steps over the past 5 years, it seems they are attempting to build her one step at a time to being more than just an act that stays in Vegas like the much older Vegas acts did when they went to Vegas. It makes sense to do that too, because its more pushing the point that Vegas doesn't have to be just for older artists or for retirement. Its also like she's saying your residency doesn't necessarily have to stay in one place, be successful in one place, or stay in small venues either. She's basically breaking the norm again.

Yes but I also wonder why they did all casino venues too I wonder if that’s related to anything

I'm wondering that myself, especially the FL dates being at the Hard Rock there.  I assume those were easier to lock in for obvious reasons, while keeping to the smaller venue theme.
