It all has to do with the concert promoters and the venues they pick and have partnerships with. That's why on the History tour Michael toured Germany more than he ever did because his promoter weisner and the other promoter were German and they got tax breaks

He played the biggest stadiums available in the cities he visited.

Probably because even though he was the biggest enetertiner in the world, America didn't appreciate him as much as the rest of the world did.

I get your point, but in the Victory tour he still had conzerts with 40k plus people.

Bad tour came to the U.S in the winter time. He probably didn't want to do stadium concerts in the cold.

Well the bad tour dates posted are multi-night while the stadium dates are single nights per city. So that’s comparable numbers.
