This makes me sad. (Destiny)

It initially surprised me too, until I thought about it. They're not selling out large arenas, mostly moderate sized venues.

Also, the last major tour they went on was to support Daisy in 2009, maybe into early 2010. So folks haven't seen them play in a good while. Compound this with a known very obsessive fan base, and the fact that BN basically just drops off the face of the planet after dropping an album, avoids interviews and publicity, etc.

Then add to it that their most recent small tour was the ten year Deja tour, which is many folks' favorite record. It's a perfect recipe for sold out shows. But they have taken a pretty decent stance on the whole affair, limiting ticket purchases so one person can't just buy a load of them for reselling, and even going as far as doing ticket buy backs to rerelease them at regular price.
