Which band / bands have you seen the most?

Quo - 30 to 40 times, kind of lost count - mostly between 77 and 84 sporadically after that including twice in one day - 1991, 1st gig in Sheffield then motored down to Wembelly for a 2nd gig - ( Quo meanwhile played Brum and Glasgow - 4 gigs in 12 hours ) frantic day really ( see wot I did there?).
 
Had fun going through old tickets to try and get this right. Robert Plant as part of various Honeydrippers or “solo” 12 times plus a Page/Plant plus 2 Led Zeps so 15 in all.

Easily the band I have seen the most is the Wildhearts ... often filming them, but not always. I must have seen them getting on for 50 times, not just in the UK, but also in Spain and Finland.
Another band I've seen gawd knows how many times would be The Nightingales ... lost count, but then I did manage them way back and have had a close (and working) relationship with them for 4 decades.

Saw Wasted Youth plenty when I was younger. Probably the bands I've seen most in the last 30 years would be The Cribs (lost count) and The Manics (I'd guess 10 to 15). Seen Working Mens club quite a lot in the last 3 years.

Ginger is a nice bloke. He lives around the corner from me.
 
Recently it would be Holy Moly and The Crackers. Always a great show and of course local so play round here a lot.

Beyond local bands it would be Springsteen half a dozen times IIRC.

@ChrisChefYork He is. Has his demons but he is fundamentally one of the good guys. We go back a long way. Same with Ritchie, though I thought he lived nr Selby. Well he did last time I went to his house, which, to be fair was 2007.

Ginger's talent as a solo artist is woefully unrecognised. Most of it has nothing to do with the Wildhearts' genre at all. If you want to explore the very diferent Ginger, look for stuff like "Holiday" or "Jake" from Yoni. And the 555 album is just packed with gems. Lots of very surprising stuff.

Definitely a very talented artist and I know about the demons. Yep, Ritchie has lived in York quite a while, his kids went to the same school as my two.
 
New Model Army for me, lost count but over 70 times probably closer to 100, in my defence I first saw them in 1985 so I've had a few years to spread that out over. I know people who have seen them something like 3-400 times over the years, one of the few bands who used to sell a "season ticket" that got you into all dates on the tour!
