No, I don't think it's forced at all. They're way beyond that. I think they're tapping into a new (old) market. They haven't played in Wyoming since 1989. If I lived in the northeast or northcetral part of the USA, I wouldn't go to Wyoming for a show either!
Since I live in a place where they haven't played in nearly 20 years, I'm open to going anywhere and different places are best because it gives me a chance to see more of the world. Top that with the fact that Wyoming has been on my "Gotta Go There" list forever and this show does have some appeal to me, though not enough to fight a line starting at 6:00 AM. I may plan my Wyoming vacation for that week and go to the show, but it won't be that I'm going to Wyoming to see Bon Jovi. I'll be going to Wyoming to see Wyoming and timing it to see Bon Jovi too.
