Probably because it was hard to find promoters who were willing to come up with the fee for a band that wouldn't sell well.

I guess no promoter wanted to take the financial risk to set up a stadium show which wouldn't have been even half full.
They played in Paris back in 2010 because the stage was sized for the 02 Arena, which suited Bercy.
As a result, I saw the band live 8 times only, 3 of which taking place in Paris.
Had I been English, that amount could be multiplied by 3.
But as Xavi said, those 3 shows were great shows, especially in a day and age when you couldn't compare set lists and have the show on streaming one hour after it ended
Good old days ?
