Makes you wonder how many have sold for Hyde Park......

Gone are the days where they could sell out any venue in a matter of hours. Now they can't sell ONE venue out in months!!!

Does make me ever more hopeful that prices will drop for Manchester/Villa so we can take the kids.

The same as Berlin then. I wonder how they will manage the tickets already sold for Berlin as it is an entirely different venue. It is a very nice place there but de to the local environment shows have to stop at about 10 pm so it will be a shorty. Saw them in 2000 - great show (opening with Boys are back in Town) but very short.

For slane they will give tickets away for free in loads I guess.

They should have learned about their waning popularity in the UK since the O2 debacle.

Jesus...that much apathy isn't just Richie related...this is a response to the band's decline. Whether people believe it or not, we have a decent cross-section of fans on here and a lot of them are just p*ssed off with the recent music and general direction... Fact is, they are not making new fans and now they are losing the old ones. They're in freefall, I really hope it hits home.

I'd say the majority of Europe suggest they should do just that......

Seeing Bon Jovi every 2 years is somehow boring. What I mean? They give you the same setlist (almost) every 2 years. That's a short time and still the same setlist. What you can experience in a Bon Jovi concert is indeed unique each time but it's also the same old when it comes to the setlist. They need to visit places where they haven't been for a while or before. Like Russia, Greece, Israel, other Asian countries like Philippines. The countries that they visit every year are almost the same. But these countries doesn't mean that they'll always have these die hards that will be able sell out the show by themselves. They need to wait at least 3 years before they go on tour and provide somehow different setlists. Or they can simple visit countries that they've never been before so the tickets sell will be good. This is I guess an issue for the ticket sales. Hope you got what I mean.

This tour is making Bon Jovi look like the Blackburn Rovers of the music world, it's becoming funny what's going to happen next... and Matt is Shebby Singh.

True to a certain extent but other artists like SPringsteen tour a lot as well, but he didn't lose his reputation as an incredible live act. BJ were untaouchable until TD, had a strong following among ROCK audiences. A Lot of people have left and those loyal fans are the minority. Lots are also pissed of that JBJ is denying their past - he is a nostalgia act as noone goes to a BJ show to hear Lost Highway....
