When you go to work do you think "oh, someone else might want this job", if you buy the last loaf of bread at the corner shop do you think "someone else needs this more than me". We've all got the same opportunity to buy tickets and it's not a competition but some of us are more determined than others. If you think fans are greedy for wanting to go to a few gigs, I'd love to know what you think of touts.

Back in 2007 MSP went on a publicity drive that meant I got to see them about 7 times in London doing various different things - TV shows, gigs etc - I was pretty sick of them by the end of the year and I don't get why anyone would want to do a tour (I understand even less those who do multiple nights at the same venue) but to each their own.
Personally, I think absence makes the heart grow fonder.

There's more to the UK than London you know. Llandudno was one of my favourite surprises, I expected it to be "the coastal town that they forgot to close down" but it really is beautiful. Personally, the road trip is part of the fun. Seeing my favourite band is always good, but seeing them in places I wouldn't otherwise consider going is a new experience. I don't care if the sets are predictable, I enjoy them.
