A smaller scale is definitely not better. It is probably not even entirely feasible.
A smaller scale IS more profitable. The ticket costs don't outweigh the costs of constructing a venue. If you can't add seats through temp seating in an existing space it likely isn't a good idea.

I'm not sure if the numbers are out there but the Vanoc curling building was entirely a temporary facility (I think). So if you could ever parse the numbers out on tickets vs Cost that would be one to look at.

Also you can charge more if the venue is smaller as well.
