That's true in theory, but in reality Bon Jovi have not historically toured there every 5 years, more like every 2-3 years. They toured most of the same places in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2013. That's quite a saturation. Naturally, by 2013 there was quite a fatigue in the EU market, especially if you're trying to fill-in stadiums.

Now if we assume that they're not touring Europe in 2018 (safe assumption), then there would be at least 6 year break from the previous tour.

As bad as Jon is live I expect the demand to be higher than 2013 by masses. In terms of demand, time is usually kind for inactive legends. Perhaps not drastically, I'd guess back to 2008-2011 levels.

strangely i agree with you those who don't follow the band but are casual fans (here in italy those are 95% of the crowd at concerts) don't even know about the state of jon's vocals, so they're definitely going to buy it. What i'm worried about is that the last song heard here on the radio was maybe superman tonight?? or maybe even hand, so the setlists have to be full of "old" songs, not exactly the ideal situation for jon..maybe that's why they are waiting so long, hoping for some kind of jon's throat rebirth

Both Walleris and you are making good points. What I'm more worried about is, as you said, the state of Jon's vocals. If Jon progresses to sound as horrific as he does these days, a great amount of casuals won't go again after the next tour. So they essentially might have one good European run left in them if they can get a reasonably strong single on the radio.

Obviously. I skipped the word "not", my bad.
