Finding fans in friends towns

Hard to find fans in friends towns, takes forever to get to the next town, and, I'm only able to gather fans in 10 friends towns. If this is going to be the norm, I'm never going to buy the card to double up on tapping in friends town again. It's not worth 90 donuts. I like the thought that this is like Coachella, but otherwise, this event isn't worth the time to bother playing. I am playing, but now at the point where I don't care if I don't get all the prizes. It's slow going on winning them, and don't think I'll get all by the end of act one. EA is making these events as hard as nails. They're not as much fun as they used to be.
