I don't think you can judge how "big" of a fan someone is by the number of shows they've seen. Like Becky said in her post above, the boys don't make it to the southeast very often so it's hundreds of miles for us to travel to a show. Not to mention it's very expensive to travel in the states. We don't have a train system like Europe. I don't have the money to fly all over and driving from one show to another just doesn't appeal to me. Plus, I'm not wealthy enough to take off that much time from work and still be able to afford to travel all over the place. It would cost me several hundred dollars for each show when you figure in travel, room, food, the ticket to the show.......

On a personal level, while I enjoy seeing Bon Jovi live, I don't know that I would want to see them that often. When I get the opportunity to see them live, it's a very VERY special time for me. It's something I look forward to immensly and talk about for months after. I don't know if after seeing numerous shows on one tour, how "special" it would be for me anymore. Maybe it would still be, but, I wouldn't want to take the chance. I got the chance to see them twice this time and I'm content with that. I'd like to see a stadium show, but Virginia is the closest gig and that's a 16-18 hour drive for me.
