How far would you travel?
I'm curious, how far would you guys travel for a concert? I'm not talking about some random concert, but someone you really want so see. What if it was the last chance you had to see them, would that make you willing to travel farther??? How much farther?

I'm asking because I'm thinking about driving 3 to 4 hours to a concert ( not counting traffic, and that's one way), and I'm curious to see if I'm crazy or not.

3 or 4 hours isnt too crazy. I think I'd go pretty far if it was my favorite bands last gig that I was able to see, but I'm not sure if I'd come back the same night. That much travelling would suck. Make a weekend of it or something.

Well, like you said, it depends on the band(s) you're going to see. I would be willing to travel just about any distance to see my favorite band. Especially if it was their last show.


But hey, no worries for me. The amphitheater is only about a 10 minute drive.

I've travelled for about 3 or 4 hours to get to a concert before. Mainly took that long cause we got lost in Manchester.
It was Tenacious D's only gig in England at that time, and I am, and my friends are, big fans

If I could drive, I would probably go to big gigs if it was like one of the only dates in the UK or something.

I'm going up to the Manchester/Birmingham area (not sure which yet) predominantly just to see The Pixies, so thats what, 250 miles from where I live.

I don't have a car, so normally I'd just go as far as the transit around here could get me. That's usually not a problem, cause there are tons of venues near me.

If it was like the ULTIMATE concert though, with like 13254 bands that I love or something, I'd be willing to hop on a bus to go out of town, and maybe crash at a motel or something, if I had the cash
