I would prefer smaller places and theatres in Europe anytime over any o2 hangar ..

Me too
I'll go along with that. Remember Mark saying when doing promo for the GH tour and NHB tours how much he enjoys playing in these small intimate venues? He must've really disliked all the tours since then! Well since this may be his last he should go out and do what he likes doing best.
We always come back to this, it's an old fan's desire, but a combination of a still big demands for tickets and the fact that he keep touring with expensive musicians makes impossible to him to tour in a small scale, and he knows it.
It doesn't matter he wants to tour just in small theatres, if he wants to do it with his nowadays band, he will be loosing money concert after concert. That's the reason why he changed 5 nights at the RAH by one at the O2 and 2 at the RAH, make more money in less time.
From years I suspect that he plays in Europe biggest and biggest venues in order to win enough money to cover what he will loose in the US touring theatres, althought the US tickets are quite expensive anyway!
If he changes his band for another musicians, good ones, and less expensive, he could easily tour just in theatres.
