LOL, yea, I'd say 36 is more than "a couple".

And that's just today. Most entertainment blurbs about charts are in Friday or weekend papers because the charts are officially updated after Thursday's edition is put to press.

I heard Who Says on three local radio stations this morning and on two of them, the DJs used info from the press release to talk about the song hitting #1 on the country chart this week.

There are also approximately 50 on-line articles in the google search this morning (most of 5 pages sorted by date with 10 articles per page).

I think would be most interesting were if people that liked the newer albums only bought tickets, as opposed to people buying tickets because A) they used to be really in Jovi and think it would be cool to see them / They like the old stuff and go to hear that B) people going "ooh its Bon Jovi, lets go!"

Wonder how many would turn up then he he he

Danfan, that's just marketing. Saying that a concert is sold out makes it more interesting for people to get tickets than when they say that there are plenty of tickets avaiable. Every band does this. Just remember U2 that was said to be sold out very soon but later there were tickets avaiable again from time to time.

Statements like the one of BJ.com is just marketing and marketing is their job.
