Rolling Stone reported in their September 30th issue that this summer was "the worst concert season since 1979" for many artist touring the US.
The reason mostly has to do with ticket and gas prices, as well as another explaination given below.
An excerpt from page 40:
Lollapalooza: The numbers
Only two of thirty-one planned shows sold well. One Northeast date reportedly moved just 450 tickets.
The problem: "Ticket prices were too high, and Morrissey fans don't want to sit in a field for two hours," says a prominent agent. He also added that Morrissey's new US theater tour is selling well.
But, of course the tour is selling well; the man is a legend. I admit I bought ticket to Lolla thinking this may be the only chance to see him. Now that he is touring this Fall, I'm happier to see him on his own and at a more intimate venue.
Viva Moz Vegas!
