25 years ago we got Little Anthony for $6,000 for a free outdoor concert in Miami Beach. Easy money. It rained and he never had to leave his hotel.

I never heard of most of them either but the kids probably know them.
And I was thinking yesterday that these are the prices they probably charge for a private event like a wedding or bar mitzvah. There are people with enough discretionary income so money is no object.
I'll bet the agents set up a tour knowing that the auditorium owners work with each other to guarantee the best return for the house, the artist and the agent.
A five thousand seat auditorium probably cost 5,000 times as much as was spent redoing the Church on the Square. I don't know. big money, big risk
