$200 ??? For this crap.

For Tickets up front probably multiple times as much . Front row tix in us cost way more than 1000 Dollars. Pit Tickets still several 100s of dollars .

Jeeeeeeessuus. And I thought the Irish tickets were pricey.

This video of Jon/Richie is suitable I think. I doubt he cares how much he charges.

I have been reading all the comments for the last two shows on Bon Jovi's website for the last hour... it's like a car wreck. You want to look away but you just can't stop looking.

Man, I really feel bad for these people. Apparently last night they lost video and sound for the lawn... some guy who drove 4 hours to get there described the sound to "listening to the radio".

Like someone mentioned, even if curfew was at 10:30, they left the stage at 10:20 and this is how they planned it - they played the set list as written... would they have left the stage at 9:45 if they hadn't been rained out for 30 minutes? Or would they've done a "what do you want to hear" multiple song encore? This is just sad. The weather is beyond the band's control, but it sounds like a lot more than the weather was wrong last night.

No for the 2 shed shows, front row was $200. The same tickets that are $600 ticket only everywhere else. They are thousands w/ packages for stadiums and arenas.

Sounds a lot like a get what you pay for mentality - NOT right but happens. Band makes less smaller venues so almost like a job mindset. Really a shame as to me, a fan is a fan. Some have better venue options and some more money. You pay for the better seats, but all should have a great show. I think sometimes even with blue collar roots, people become so wealthy that they forget the real world. Know they are philanthopists, but "my job" is a diff. mentality.

They don't have the giant production costs of other shows so they are still making out well.

Apologize in advance as this question is off topic, but was wondering if you have a link to a video in reference to your tag line. Would love to see it, if you do.
