One of the (many) reasons Billy Joel is making a killing at the Garden.

One show a month till they stop selling.

He's up to ~38 sold out shows in a row played and has a few months sold out in advance with no sign of slowing down.

Minimal set, pretty sure he uses house lights.

Even if not it's all in place and whatever has to come on stage is sitting down in storage.

Minimal set up costs.

20,000 seats x's 38 shows ='s 760,000 tickets in one venue.

He's making some nice coin on that gig.
