It's not just the fact that they offer the new album as an 'all-in' package but that if you buy that package, you can purchase your gig tickets earlier than anyone.
I think it stinks - you wanna see Jovi live but don't like their new stuff but in order to ensure you get a ticket at all, you're FORCED to buy the new album! The tricks that bands/promoters pull these days in order to earn a few $million more than the $200 000 000 they're gonna earn in album sales anyway, just makes you sick.
What will they think of next?....
