I know I would be very depressed if the band wouldn't visit an area near my place ... Cause the best thing about a band is to see them perform live !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it's not only the performance of the band, but the atmosphere around it and to meet the people who love the whole thing too I got to know some folks on the concert here and am longing for the next one to see everyone again + meet more

It could be about the money but as you said ... they could easily make money out of it ... Think it's more then that but honestly I don't really know what it is ... And I guess that's even more depressing
