Change from 2021 til Now….

The record company will have nothing to do with shows, especially now that CDs are not sold with tickets. And it would be very unusual for any band to have a kind of contract with a promoter that forces them to do shows. Jon and his management are too smart to have a contract like that. So I'd be suprised if that's it.

How much money has Bon Jovi the company earned in the last couple of years? not much, same as most of the entertainment industry. But they still have outgoings that need paying, rentals on equitment storage, wages, tax bills etc etc etc. It all adds up! Maybe it's simply a case of they had to do these shows in order to keep things ticking along financially for Bon Jovi the company, rather than to make Jon a shit load of money....

I think he's referring to Ticketmaster's "dynamic pricing," which fluctuates the prices based on supply and demand. You'll know when the prices have fluctuated because you get a pop up stating they're utilizing dynamic pricing before they show you available tickets for a show. But artists can opt out of it. And every time I've checked Bon Jovi tickets this tour, I've never seen the dynamic pricing pop up so it appears that they opted out.

Dear Bon Jovi Fans and "fans"
I really don't like the way many people talk about Jon's vocals. Honestly, i've always thought that fans should support their idol. I don't think his problems are a reason to talk shit about him; we all know his voice has changed over the years and we all know that he's been having some singing troubles recently. That's why he started singing in a lower key and what's most important here is that he's adjusting the way he sings to how he's able to sing.
What many people are talking is just pathetic and childish. Here's a JBJ support video i've recorded; just for y'all to know there still are people who love him and who will love and support him forever and a day.

No one is talking hit about him, people are just telling it how it is an voicing their opinions. Don't be a sheep.

Ahh ok that must be something specific to USA, we don't have that here. Not sure it would even be legal here to be honest...the ticket price is the ticket price and that's that, unless it's a resell

Let's open Pandora's box,


So let's see, you do not lack reason in what you say, sometimes it is carried too far to lynching. I have that same overprotective feeling with Richie, but we can't ignore reality. When Richie is criticized in a video, I get angry, but then I say to myself, what the hell are you doing Richie. And this happens in any fandom with some objectivity.

Jon's voice problem is the same one he had from 2015-16 onwards. Sooner or later this barrage of criticism was going to come. Now Jon is 60 years old, so we shouldn't be so harsh. and I include myself, it's something all have to work on.

About the fans, what is this about "fans"? .... is it that you are less of a fan for saying what you really think?. Many fans only give their opinion and concern about the state Jon is in, I don't think singing hakuna matata while ignoring the problem will fix everything and make you more of a fan than the rest. Bon Jovi for me is music, not a cult of a man.

About ... forever and one more day, it's very nice, but it's not the first time I've heard it from a self-proclaimed true fan. Many fans, especially "young", often make these kinds of statements, and it's okay, they have that special feeling, but a few years later, BJ is forgotten for them. I can't blame that either, the passage of time changes us, and with it our priorities. But it is usually these types of fans who finally forget.

Haters... well, here we go Jovitalk. A fan site created since 2002, updating every step the band takes... I don't know of another fan site so dedicated and that has lasted this long on the internet. you may or may not like the opinions of some members sometimes, but the good thing about this site is that it will always be there. ACTIVE. It is not one of those elitist cult sites where only a few have access (you know, you are not "fan" enough to belong to their club,) nor will they silence you for thinking differently. but it's not the wild west either.

I've followed the band for decades, I've enjoyed a lot of sites dedicated to BJ that don't exist now, so when you say "there still are people who love him and who will love and support him forever and a day" , I can't imagine any other site other than Jovitalk.

Everyone is welcome. Sometimes some fans take things too seriously, even turning it into something personal, I think this has always happened and will happen in any discussion forum, so on many occasions, you should not take things literally. Being more open minded, but too knowing when a conversation with another member is going nowhere.

Everyone here knows my opinion, for me the magical Jovi of live shows ended when Richie defected and Jon's voice shot. Because I've witnessed so many amazing moments... and this is not the way he (they) was supposed to age. However, I am still here, interested in his new music, because there is no better feeling than waiting for a new record. Nothing has changed, I embrace some things and others are not my cup of tea... but I hope that his new songs will accompany us for a longer time. That's just my honest opinion, it doesn't mean throwing in the towel, but I'm a realist and I know that we are in its period of decline.

I'm glad to know that Bon Jovi still has a great drawing power to fill arenas and probably even stadiums in Europe, despite Jon's voice problems. If Guns N Roses can do it with Axl, why isn't Jon going to continue?


Don't Give Up

It just happens that the reason why Bon Jovi is my favorite band is because of their songs and their live shows.

Now the songs are not good anymore (with a few exceptions here and there) and the live shows are nowhere near the level they used to be. Realizing that doesn’t make you a hater, but saying “I’ll praise him till the end no matter what he does” basically means that you love Jon Bon Jovi more than Bon Jovi’s music, and there’s nothing wrong with that. To each their own. But seeing the plain reality doesn’t make one a hater.

Cheers
