There is only one official Bon Jovi fan club, Backstage With Jon Bon Jovi, which is based in NJ and is open to people from all over the world. All other so-called "fan clubs" are bogus, false, fake and in no way whatsoever affiliated with or supported or sanctioned by the band, their management or their record company. While some of the unofficial fan clubs may have bigger and better fanzines than the BSWJBJ Newsletter, BSWJBJ is the only fan club to offer any real perks to its members. In Europe, where most shows are GA (general admission standing, as opposed to reserved seating), BSWJBJ members have been able to pick up fan club wristbands on the day of the show -- the wristbands give the fc members priority access to the double-barricaded area (the "pit") right in front of the stage, which means that fc members are basically getting the best spots in the house at shows. In the US and in other places where shows tend to be all seated, fc members can buy fan club tickets for rows 2-14 (about 2-14 though it may vary depending on the venue) right in front of the stage.

The perks are entirely dependent upon where you live. I've been a member since the beginning because I'm a fan, no matter what perks they give me. However, being in a state where the band doesn't play or doesn't even play NEAR, fan club seating is of no use to me at all. So, if you join only for the idea of fan club seating be aware that you may be sorely disappointed.
