Yeah that's very true about the aussie $$$. But i suppose if they manage to sell out their shows, and perform more of them then it will be worth it. They did not come to Adelaide or Brisbane in 2008 so hopefully they can perform in all the major capital cities this time. We can only hope....

Still, fingers crossed!
On the other side of the coin, it would cost them less to put on a gig there....

Hey All...Now that would be Fantastic!!!!......all my dreams would come true.....Coming back to Australia....but as zero_zero_UFO said the Aussie dollar is not very good.......I suspect they will delay it a while until this recession starts to fade and things start to look a little better. But if they are actually in the Studio writing and getting stuff together to record a new album....and as we all know they are getting older and time is an issue to older members. They were fantastic during their last tour...but one can only guess the hard work and the toll it took on them to keep up that momentum for all those weeks....mind you I could be at every single gig (money provided)...and just ENJOY them hour upon hour. I do so hope that you are right and that they do come back to Australia...we do so miss out down here....
Does anyone know about any DVD's that they may be releasing of the tours down here.......I simply just can't get enough...I sit on u tube dowloading concerts......

Anyway..would love to know more and more....
if anyone has any more information f what they ARE actually up to or know anymore stuff that I may be intrested in...I would love to hear from you.

They're not releasing an Aussie tour DVD if that's what you're asking. MSG, maybe Central Park and I've still got fingers crossed for European tour highlights.

Unhappy Aussie Tour DVD

Hey kenobi_on_a_prayer...Thanks for your reply...I know wishful thinking on my part..........but the crew were filming on each night of their last tour in Australia...and I so wished that there would be a DVD release.....I spoke to one of the crew in Sydney...and although he really had no time for me... he was really nice...although did not know whether the footage would become anything.....I was just really wishing thinking.......
no big bands ever release anything from Australia, an I was purely hoping for one those little miracles....
Anyway, can't wait for whatever it may be that they release...

Sorry Aussies, to me this all seems unlikely especially in November. I hope that it does happen at some point for you guys and you get good sets though

Default Bon Jovi Tour In Australia???

Hey Everyone......
Would be my life's dream for Bon Jovi to come back to Australia...if the runours are true......please, please...please...if they could schedule a gig in Australia......would be just perfect. We can only hope that they can, and will be able to tour down under....even though time/age and the exchange rates will not be any good for some time yet......but maybe there is a slight chance...and even a slight chance is better than nothing........
If anyone from Australia or anywhere can give any more information about what they are up to or whether this information is proven to be true...I would love to hear from you.

I read that a few times on this board but that's not neccesarely true.

Bon Jovi is stated in the US, any lowbrainer working for them or their company would get to the idea to invoice all subparties in US dollars (if they didnt already).

They invoice a subparty in dollars for facilitating and selling the tickets, meaning if the subparty wants to keep their margin and don't want to lose it to the current exchange rate the tickets just get expensiver....

If Bon Jovi, their management, the record-company whoever deciding they want lets say 50 US dollar per ticket from the subparty and they put let say 20% on it as their grossmargin they sell it for US 70 dollars / 0,7 = 85,4 Aussie dollars to the consumers...

If it were 1 US dollar = 1 Aussie dollar it would be 60 Aussie dollar instead of 85,4...

Nah i never believe that the major bands gonna tour and not let the consumer pay the the economical state as it is right now...

They need to come down to Australia when I'm there, and they need to play BOBITA!
Come on Jon, do it!
