I feel like artists that had success some time ago and whose main fan base doesn't really attend shows regularly or follow new music (like Fiona Apple's) generally charge more for shows at the same or similarly-sized venues than artists with fans who listen to new music and regularly attend shows.

This has nothing to do with how many albums the artist has released or how "successful" the artist is.
Meaning they have middle aged casual fans who don't mind throwing down some dough for nostalgia.
she only tours every 5 years right?

yep, $50 is about right. It's not like I will remember what I paid for the show 5 years from now…
