Becky, people like Jovian for example from Finland have to drive at least the same distances to go to a show as you, probably more. I'm lucky enough to live in Germany which is located in the middle of Europe so the farest I have to drive are around 8 to 10 hours by train for the concert in Zurich. The other concerts are between 2 and 6 hours by car from here (one way).

Not everyone can afford this or has the time for this because of work or family. Someone for sure can't say that the Number of concerts makes you a bigger fan.

Touring are my hollidays. I didn't make any "real" hollidays for years so I spend the money that others spend for 3 weeks on the beach for my tours.
