European stage set up: Ramp or no ramp?

No, it didn't.

For the ticket prices on this tour, the full production should be at every single show!

that would be a punch in the face to bring that ugly stage here! European tour is always the biggest stadium leg on each and every tour they do and they cannot just use this temporary stage like there in South America.
It's a fact that there will be the same stage than in USA... only with or without the ramp....

I'd rather they brought a standard stage with some screens, have no diamond ring, and the first few thousand people there are in the GC.

Hmm.

IThe arms wouldn't be much use in a stadium.They had a few uses,the main one being used as steps to get closer to the people behind the stage but a stadium has no one behind the stage so there would be no use having them.

So does that mean we won't get the big intro where the screen comes down over the stage while they make there way to it and reveals the band once they start the 1st song? Mind saying that there's always a away around it. I.e. the One Wild Night tour with the hotel elevator or the HAND tour with the smirk on the screen as they made their way to the stage.

I for one for London would like to have cameras behind the stage filming them arrive and beam this out to the crowd as everyone would go ecstatic.

At the U.S. stadium shows last year, the intro was shown on the big screen behind the stage. There were no moving screens to come together to make the screen that lowered in front of it as there were at the arena shows.

I was only repeating what I (and many other fans) were told on the Backstage Tour. Obviously, the info given to us, did not explain why, was not a complete explanation, etc. I also should say that I do not attend outdoor shows, period --- for a multitude of reasons.

So, I will defer to others here, who obviously have far more experience than I do with the outdoor venue set ups - as I do not have the luxury of being able to attend shows abroad ... nor, as I said above, do I attend outdoor venue shows/concerts, in the states.

Really, at the end of the day, the stage set up doesn't matter - hopefully everyone attending any Bon Jovi show will have the time of their lives !!!

I know this might not be directly related, but didn't wanna start up another thread just in case!

I just want to ask you guys - with the pre-show party that's offered with diamond packages, does this happen after or before the gates open? As in, if you're at the party, will you miss getting a good standing spot??....

I believe the OWN tour had a great stageproduction. The lightshow during the TD tour (open air) was also terrific. And the stage for the Bouncetour (Europe) was huge (the lightshow could be better but the stage was impressive).

So, it could be more spectacular now but it's not too bad.
