Well the Melb venue looks like it costs $2,500 to hire, then you have to factor in the cost of plane tickets from the other side of the world (probably not economy on Aeroflot), accomodation costs in a half decent pad, general expenses, etc split between two venues, production and advertising costs, etc. Those 5 figure gross takes probably wont go far and have to return a profit to the production company or it isn't worth their while. It isn't exactly a guest speaker volunteering to speak at your uni climbing club sleeping on someone's floor.

Sounds like a lot of money, may or may not be worth it. I personally wouldn't go but there are plenty of people to whom 69 isn't going to break the bank.
