Or maybe, kids mostly see lots and lots of smaller club and arena shows, and spread their money around that way, while adults primarily see a few select shows, and funnel their cash flow towards a handful of the remaining big names from their youth.
Plus, the high ticket prices for the bigger shows ($45, $60, etc.) means only a few tours aimed at a younger audience can consistently draw enough ticketbuyers to make expensive large-scale touring profitable.
