People were saying there were empty seats on some dates, and if a lower than expected attendance was the reason the tour didn't get more dates, this doesn't mean Ayu (or Avex) were losing money (as the tickets WERE sold to the shops), but that they could if they kept having new dates.
It's wierd since people that were on the last dates in Nagoya were saying that the place was completely full with no empty sits at all, and it's not even Tokyo (where most of the fanbases are) and this is the last month of the tour. The number of empty sits or lack of attendants is probably minor enough to not be a trouble, and even though it could be a reason no one said that it's the real reason why the tour didn't get another leg. It could also be because a different schedule that doesn't allow it. ayu said that she is going to record in the studio back on September and it probably wasn't something that got scheduled on the last minute. The Rock'n'Roll Circus tour was also said to have loads of tickets at re-sell shops but then it got the extra 7 days and in one week.
