Well, for myself personally I'd be just as happy to see the Who with 
only a couple thousand (heck, since I'm dreaming, let's just say a 
few dozen!) other fans.  However, I would also like them to be able 
to sell out huge stadiums again and again, and there are two reasons 
why.  First, it means that a lot of other people like the Who, and 
that makes me happy since they are my favorite band and I like to 
think they are the favorite band of plenty of other people too.  
Secondly, the better Who tickets sell, the more money the Who makes.  
Since our lads are, after all, only human, and humans with families 
to support, kids to put through college, aging parents to take care 
of, etc., they need money.  And if they make a lot of money touring, 
then maybe it will make them want to KEEP touring.  The more they 
tour the more times I get to see them live, so I am happy there too.
