Thinking about the question I guess i would have to say yes it kind of is a big hassle to go see this band live. I am going to two shows and although i live in according to Becky's post one of the lucky states (NY) believe me i still am three hours away from Albany and close to 3 hours away from Buffalo so I will be travelling quite a ways to see these shows. Plus add the fact that they are in December and January and NY is most certainly going to have TONS of snow I don't see it being an easy drive. I also of course attemtpted to get tickets through ticketmaster during the presale and of course right at 9 am when they went on sale to the general public and got offered crap. So yes don't bash me but i had to get my tickets another way- and I paid BIG $ for my tix and I have great seats (1st and 3rd rows) but again I paid the price. I am not compalining I chose to do that and I would only do it one band BON JOVI.
Why? I guess it is something I can't explain. Yeay, I know that the setlist may not be that great, of course i am worried that i might not get two great shows, I am wondering how Jon's voice will be, etc for all that $ i paid but being there seeing the band that you love, that you have listened to for millions and millions of hours of your life is just something that if you are a fan you have to do. Like someone else said it doesn't matter how many times you've heard Wanted when those notes start it is like magic.
I wish that i could have gotten fanclub seats but i agree that there system sucks. I was in the fanclub for two years, yet never could go for fc seats. Unfotrunately to get good seats i have to fork out lots of $. I don't enjoy it but i would only do it for Bon Jovi.
So yeay it is a hassle but to me it is also totally woth it!
