Nowhere does she say she is selling out venues. In fact quite the opposite - from the original (much more indepth and factual article) which appeared in the Guardian.
"Heap's tour page - showing the gruelling schedule she's going through - suggests she's not managing many sellouts; tickets appear available for lots of the venues."
It's her
good business sense which is telling her that touring is not cost effective in its current guise.

See above, she is "tied in" she cannot, willy nilly, offer streaming as an option when it can be "ripped" and not monetized.
