What constitutes a real fan?

folks on the lawn are more likely to hang out until it gets dark and then spend the concert smoking joints and making out and looking at the stars. i think there are various ways to be a real fan.

and i totally agree that the front/back dicotomy is real in sports - where corporations buy expensive season tickets - and not so much for most concerts.
if you work for a corporation that gets great seats to shows and you get great seats to shows because of it, do you still hate it?

Real fans are happy that their favorite band has 'made it' to the point that they are playing bigger/seated venues and can say they saw the band when they were just an opening act or playing small low-key venues.
real fans don't give a shit where, when, or how the band is playing, just thankful they get another shot to see them play live.
I have to go to Texas the week that Radiohead is in Philly in August. so i am not going, does that make me less of a Radiohead fan?
