I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade here, but I think it is pretty sad to insinuate they will lose fans because they are not playing your particular city (which I doubt will really happen anyway) Seriously? Pissing and moaning that Nassau is closed for renovations and now you may have to go to Newark? You get NO sympathy from me.
I lived in Connecticut for my first 24 years of life and took for granted how many options I had for going to shows. Then in 1997 I moved to the panhandle of Florida (Tallahasseee) and it put everything in to perspective. The closest TSO plays for me is Jacksonville which is 3 hours away. I probably won't even go to that show. BUT I will however make the 7 hour trek north to Greenville so I can see East. Then we will take a family trip 4 1/2 hours south to see West in Tampa and Orlando.
Basically, it is all relative to what you are used. I get that. The first year I saw TSO was 2008 because by stroke of luck they decided to bring the WT to Tallahassee for the first and only time. We were also lucky to get the BLN tour there in '11 and '12. Other than that we have to hit the highway to see TSO each year. You know what? It is ALWAYS worth every penny!
