Default BJ sydney show 3,tiks not selling well

I am hearing through a friend of mine at ticketek here in Sydney that the bj show for the 19th of december is selling very slow.He has also told me that there are quite a few sections which will not be sold.Seems like they'll be some of the side view sections.

Personally i am hoping that they sell sweet fk all for this show and jon gets embarrassed playing in front of a half filled stadium.Considering they are charging a packet to see them.

By the way any chance of this show being moved to a smaller venue ?

What do u guys think?

I thought the tickets were selling like hot cakes, isn't that why they added a 3rd show?

There is such a thing as saturating the market though, and given the price and the fact that there are already 2 shows in Sydney, they'd have been better off doing an Adelaide show.

The fan club tickets are all sold out for all three shows as far as I know. I also think that the closer it gets to December the more tickets will sell. I hope it sells out so the band can end the 2010 tour on a high note.

I wonder how many tickets have been sold so far.

There is plenty of tickets available for the 3rd sydney show.

The side view sections have been removed.This is the only show that isn't sold out.Actually no where near being sold out.Adelaide shouldv'e got the gig.

Third show was obviously one too many. The expensive prices to be nearish the front would mean that a lot of casual fans would not be interested in buying tickets to multiple shows.

I dont know if they are still available but Showbiz was offering tickets only for the circle for just over $500.

I am sure it will sell out in the end.

I dont believe there was a stadium available for Adelaide which would mean an arena show, sounds like a case of couldn't be bothered .....

Be careful what you wish for, wasn't it something like 10 years down under with no Bon Jovi??

I believe the band not coming here for so long was to do a lot with the exchange rate at the time - it sucked.

The band will always sell well here and I doubt the 3rd Sydney show will have any bearing on future tours.

I still think it will sell out by December regardless.

Like i care if mr JBJ comes back to Australia again.At those prices believe me it'll be the last time they tour here.They aren't paying for my lifestyle why would i care if they toured or not.They can fk off all the way back to jersey.

Maybe he'll end up lowering the prices if no one buys the tickets? Although I think the closer it gets, the faster they will sell.

*sigh* If I could go to Sydney, I would...
