I'm not disagreeing with people that it's stupid it's a fan club for him alone but complaining about something that's been in place for 20 years, meh, ya know? Supply and demand. They charge, people pay so in a sick, dirty way it's worth it's value. It's fleecing based on what they're getting but they're also happy so I don't know.

Matt that is correct and it was Jon's mama who wrote in a fanzine letter (way back when those were sent out and she was running the fan club) that she tried as best she could to get the other mothers to get content from Richie, Dave and Tico but she didn't have the same access as she did to her son so she felt it was disingenuous to make the name Backstage with Bon Jovi. Before that it (in the 80's) was Secret Society which was run by an outside organization. Yes I'm old lol!
