True, true.

That said, in terms of atmosphere, sound, view and comfort stadium shows frankly suck unless you are in GC or a good seat. It's just not worth the money.

It's hard to see how they can justify a 50% increase in the price of a decent ticket from two years ago. I'm happy to pay £75 for a gig, but it damn well better be an event (first show at Wembley) or a show you are only going to see once in a decade (the Police/Simon and Garfunkel).

I've been to more than enough shows now to know what good value for money looks like and this isn't it. As has been pointed out in other threads, you will be lucky if you get much more than a warm-up for the London show at the end of the tour.

Not mad about it, but I've seen enough Bon Jovi shows to leave this one at the wayside. I'll get four or five shows from smaller bands (hell, even a Springsteen ticket and a couple of club gigs) for the same money and be a much happier man.
