In closing, concerts aren't for making money from ticket sales- they're for promoting record sales.
Simply put, your info is wrong. Artists make much more $$$ by touring than CD sales.

He is right that bands like Madonna do tour only to promote their able. Yes there are bands that do not tour because of this. Lots of smaller bands tour only for fun or for various other reasons. But with large bands it is a different story. First of all they don't set the price. The fact that her tickets cost that much is not up to Madonna. This problem is the reason that Pearl Jam was sueing ticket master about 10 years ago. I've heard that Rage Against the Machine has tried to fight this also.
For a band like Atom & His Package or Alien Sex Fiend the prices still aren't decided by the band. There is some influence by the band because usually the band will charge a flat fee and then ask for a certain percentage of the money that comes from the door. But comparing Madonna's touring reasons to those of some small underground group you listen to you are comparing apples to oranges.
