For example; 10.000 tickets in Europe are 15.000 tickets in America.
So the money now is made outside of America which is why the rumours of them doing a part of Eastern Europe and maybe even a few more cities in Asia show up. Doing Australia had nothing to do with them being loyal to Australia but had a lot more to do with the fact that it was now financially a lot more attractive. The same goes for the Scandinavian shows last tour.
I am a bit surprised that no rumours of the shows in Germany have showed up though. Normally we know half of the tour unofficially before it's anounced.

At the end of the day though, I bet the Australian fans, or the fans in any other part of the world they decide to tour that they haven't toured for ages, don't actually care if they're just touring there for the money, as long as they're touring there!
Sometimes I feel a teeny bit guilty that I live on a tiny little island that somehow gets about a quarter of the shows on the entire European tour
