Because Rihanna secured her bag with Samsung before the album and tour took place. You only give away tickets when you caught up with projecting the image of a superstar. Rihanna naturally exudes that superstar image. Thus, she is not going to give away tickets to fill venue seats when she could care less how it would look to have empty seats while performing. Also, the Anti tour only had 75 dates with average earnings of 850K per date. Thus, to gross 100m she would have had to do about 125 dates (almost double her schedule).

Beyonce (solo) is a much better tour earner than her and Jay-z combined tour. Beyonce is the leading touring force for nearly two decades because you have to include her DC stuff too. She is great live. Comparing the number one touring force to other current artist tours is ridiculous in the 1st place because there is no comparison.
