He's hinted at that in a recent interview that if he doesn't reach a certain level that he regards as necessary they're not gonna do a tour. I know the US leg has already been booked, maybe he wants to use these shows as a tryout whether his vocals chords can hold up for a number of shows, especially with the back catalogue being played again.

I'm seeing the first show, and then the Vegas show 2 1/2 weeks later. It will be interesting to see how his voice is between the two.

My shows follow a similar pattern. Nashville on February 18th and then seeing shows at the end of the leg, Columbus, March 18th and Cleveland, March 19th.

Man I just don't get - why always so negative? Why are you bashing Jon? If you're not a fan of Bon Jovi, why be here? and other non-sense

The album hasn't done well commercially.

Get over it.

I think it is due to the ticket prices that no every seat in the house will sell out.
I mean - 40.000 tickets @ 60 euros ( or dollars) per ticket is the same thing as 20.000 tickets @ 120 euros (or dollars) ... That's also why a lot of european shows during the BWC tour had plenty of tickets available in the days before the show and they started lowering the prices dramatically in order to fill the empty seats.

So if I were Jon, I'd try to set tickets prices so that venues will sell out. Bon Jovi are a classic act who will always put on a great show but many people have seen them already, maybe more than once. BJ are not the hottest ticket around. I am sure a lot of folks like to go see them but they change their mind after seeing the ticket prices.

You've been here a month. Some of the posters absolutely are over the top negative but a lot of us are just brutally honest. If you're skies are blue, bon jovi are sunshine gold you're going to have a terrible time here..

Not just that, but the rather silly notion that people are being negative for pointing out sales are bad. The sales are by and large awful, it's not negative to point that out and explain reasons why. Anyone on this forum for the last few months will see how positively the album has been received on the whole, hence the disappointment that, outside of week 1 US sales, it's sold in such low numbers.
