and 500 tickets on 9 dates on big arenas isn't that much... it's like 60+- tickets per date... Madonna had that huge tour last years that break the record for the most money gained on a solo singer tour... and some of her dates at the USA were half empty...

Actually it is a lot. As I've stated (and anyone that has ever been to Japanese ticket resale shops can tell you) this is an incredibly high number of available tickets. Especially for Ayu. It used to actually be a bit of a challenge to get her tickets from resale stores or if you did find them, there wouldn't be much selection available. Right at this moment you can go into one of the shops and see literally hundreds - that is unprecedented for Ayu. I've only ever seen that for Hello Project, and even then, not to this extent.
Madonna as well you have to keep in mind that she is playing venues whose capacities are not comparable to Ayumi. In 2001/2002 you could say their venue capacity was comparable.

I say that it is odd because Ayu's album and single sales have been declining for a long time, but it didn't really seem to affect her concert sales. But now the concert sales might actually be starting to catch up.
