I didn't get to go to the show I had a ticket for this tour and I hate I missed it so I keep hoping another opportunity will present itself for me to see them this tour. I have no intention of missing Bon Jovi shows as long as long as they play somewhere withing driving distance from me. I've seen them twice without Richie and thought both shows were fantastic so that wouldn't affect my decision to see them at all. I miss him, but he's not essential to my enjoyment of the the other members of the band. I'm not going to not be faithful to Jon, Tico, and Dave just because Richie doesn't show up.

Baptist. Thanks for asking. Why would I not go just because Richie isn't there? Like I said, I've seen them twice without him and both shows were great. Different, but still great. It would be different if the show I saw without him sucked, but they didn't.

Or even a fourth option - not going to see them this time at all? That's where I am.

My last Bon Jovi show was in 2010, and I have no plans on seeing them again.

Overpriced tickets, no Richie and Jon's bad vocals are the reasons.

Aloha !

If the band stops touring with Richie there is just no way I'll ever travel to see them ever again. I might get my hands on a Groupon deal or some eBay tickets for a show close to home, but that's about it. No way I'll ever spend over 50E for a Bon Jovi show again.

If Richie returns we'll see, it'll depend on the setlist and Jon's vocal performance. If it is the way it is right now then again, no. I've seen this show way too many times now, but with better vocals. It's as if I'd be buying the same car for more cash but with a faulty engine.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

No for me. I still have too many songs left on my wish list to stop going. These Days, Hey God, I Believe, I'd Die for You, Living in Sin, etc. And for me, the high concert ticket prices are never a deterrent. On this past leg I could've gone to any show for $20, sometimes even under $10. The only place where it is high is the MSG, and even there you can get in for $50. So at that price level I'll never stop going, I'll just roll with the cheap seats.

I will continue going to the local shows (and here in Jersey there are quite a few to choose from), but I won't travel to see the show that I'm hearing now. I am already going to far fewer shows this tour and that is fine with me. I only hope they up their game before coming to Giants Stadium this summer.

I will definitely see them in the future. As much as I miss Richie and want him back, my two shows with Phil this tour were great. For me, a concert is much more than the sum of its parts. You have the set list, performance, crowd, friends you are with, plus all the great memories of albums and past concerts. There are many factors beneath the surface. That's why it's hard to judge the quality of a concert experience but just watching a video. You have to experience all of it.

Things may not be perfect now, but personally I don't need perfection - I just want a band who seem to enjoy playing for me and the other fans. And 3 of 4 seem happy to perform. I have a lot invested in the band at this point and won't be giving up on them any time soon

Not gonna lie, the only reason I'm seeing them this tour is the introduction of £15/25 tickets. After seeing them 4 times in a week last tour amd paying top whack for the other shows in previous tours I am done with shelling out to see them live. And I have to say judging by the setlists on the current tour I am kinda glad I'm not paying through the nose to hear and see songs live that I've seen many times before. The tour n 2010/2011 was by far the best set lists I've been to and glad I made it to all those shows last year and didnt wait til this tour. I kno this year I wont have half much great view as im used to but I am ok with that as I have all the memories from before. And at least I don't have tp show up at the crack fof dawn to q up!

I also was lucky enough to see Richie put on a fantastic show at SBE last year and now even more grateful I got the chance to see him live as who knows when we will see him again
