West had 21 dates left on his tour, according to Live Nation Entertainment, which sold tickets through Ticketmaster and promoted many of the dates. The hip-hop superstar had been taking in more than $1.4 million a night off of ticket sales alone, meaning he’s leaving about $30.2 million on the table, according to analysts.
