As often with "inside" jokes, it's impossible to explain in a few lines, but it comes down to the very resiliant rumour that Larry once signed up to this website and even posted.

This link seems to suggest it took them a bit fewer than 50 shows for 360 as Paul McGuinness mentioned it would be some time before the end of the 2nd leg so maybe closer to 40 shows, I did read elsewhere that they had almost broke even by Pasadena so no exact number but there’s guides there. I agree with Welsh_Edge though that JT17 shouldn’t cost as much per day as 360, plus as I said this tour is already 3 legs in really when we count 2017 so they’ve already paid for all the start up costs. It’s just the daily costs now.

360 Tour cost around £30m before the band had played a note to the public. The design, construction and sourcing of 3 huge stages, the 60+ trucks, and logistics of hiring Camp Nou + their crew of 50ish people for three weeks rehearsals made the show only profitable when they got to 40 or so shows.
The day to day running of a tour is relatively cheap once you get past the initial investment. For PopMart the per-day cost was around £100k whether there was a show or not.
TJT2019 will be a cheap tour to run. There is no stage to build, design, or construct. All of that entered profitability in 2017. The only costs then will be logistics, a couple of days full rehearsal in the stadium to adapt any elements for any changes, and so on. Therefore, the band would probably be running 100 people and 30ish trucks for say 6 weeks funded by 17 or so shows. It will be a very profitable tour.
