And sadly, that is the reputation this band now has. They don't mix the set up enough, and what they do play, besides the hits that have to be played, isn't good.

I think it's merely the fact that people no longer want or can afford to pay 200 dollars per ticket period. I think the majority have no idea setlists are this similar, it's just the idea that it's the same show again, as in starting with Bad Name, ending with Bad Medicine, few covers + Prayer and Wanted and then the end.

For the amount of money a Bon Jovi show costs, especially in America, you ought to expect a spectacular light show, fireworks and good musicianship. Instead you get a band on autopilot just rushing themselves through the hits. If you present that too often, eventually people will realize they've seen it one too many times.

Bon Jovi always were a great band for 50E a ticket, and it's telling that the only show that's sold is Madrid, for which the most expensive tickets were...50E.

Different kettle of fish though,Jon is still very much in charge in Jovi land. That said he must be aware that people are turning their backs on the band.

They need to give to the fans something that they'll bring them back, something really fresh and unique. They did it in the 80s, they did it in the 90s, they did it in the 00s why can't they do it in their 10s? It's their fourth decade they still got it, I think that JBJ (w/o blaming him) needs to give some space to the rest of the band members too. And please someone fire Bobby Bandiera & John Shanks. Bring back Luke Ebbin or Bob Rock, but not John Shanks, he SUCKS! Why don't they create an album written just by the band members and maybe Desmond too? With a proper producer it might be good.
