A tour means nothing to me personally as they haven't played the UK since 2013 and probably wont do for at least another year. Paying hundreds of quid for the same stadium/festival show again isn't anywhere near the top of my concert agenda.
If they could stay as on-top-of-it as they were in the US in 2015, I would tell you it would be worth the layout. But...
Saw them in Berlin in 2014 in a wonderful outdoor arena. The show was great as was the location. It was a nice way to experience my 50th show. If that's a way of closing the book I don't mind. It's been a great run. But I'm done with large stadiums to see the same show multiple times - if the option is to pay a normal price to sit 60-80 yards away or pay a fortune to get close, I'd take the third option and not bother.

What if they played Belfast ?
But they wont. Apart from two remote festival dates, they havent played any UK show outside London since 2006.
I didnt say I wouldnt go see them. I'm at the stage where I'd LIKE to but don't absolutely feel that I NEED to. 50 shows is way more than I ever could have expected and I'm grateful for that. If it all ended tomorrow, naturally I'd be sad but I wouldnt have any regrets about having missed anything. I consider myself pretty well fulfilled.
