I defy you to find a smaller venue on the Backspacer tour than the Clark County Amplitheater in Vancouver, Wa...Also known as "The Portland Show"
Gibson Amphitheater. Capacity 6,200.
Beat me to it.

Yeah, it definitely may be that this is what happens when you scatter your tour dates. Also, at least for Portland & SLC, those are a decent distance away from any other major cities. You're not gonna drive from LA to Salt Lake, when you could just go to LA & San Diego, unless you really, really can't get enough shows (small amount of people in that situation that would drive that distance).
I thought about SLC, but alas, it will not happen. 2010.

maybe the 31st will predominantly be a "fanclub only" show.

I seriously doubt that. They no where near got the majority of the tickets in the venue. If they normally got 10%...maybe this time they have 20%. But, this being the very last show of such a loved venue, lots of people will want to go who don't even know PJ, just to be at the very last show.
In Australia a lot of people are pissed that our Ten Club tickets only allow us early entry to the concerts, about 1/2 an hour or so before the general public. We are not (apparently) getting cordoned off sections close to the stage. The excuse is "security", whatever that means. We all have to pay more for our 10 club ticks, yet don't get a special area for this extra expense. In Australia up til now, PJ in the past have played at mostly enclosed venues with seats, now it's all changed for this tour and our shows are all at outdoor stadiums. Some of us are pissed at this, others aren't.
I think quite a few people have elected to (a) buy tickets for the seated areas or (b) just pay for GA, lining up in the queue along with the Ten Clubbers. They figure they'll get just as good positions as those with Ten club ticks. Really, we should be getting a special cordoned off Ten Club area up the front at each stadium for the extra expense in the tickets. At this point, I dont think our Ten Club tickets have sold out yet.
