Why does the band I love need to be such a money-grabbing operation?

Those same fanclub setas that used to face value tickets for a fanclub pre-sale are now............


EXCLUSIVE tickets through backstage that get marked up 300%.

WTF is that????

I have spent so much time defending these guys, but the more I defend them the more difficult they make it to defend them.

I'm honestly starting to think that business guides the good ship Jovi much more than any passion that they have for making music. Everything they do is obviously calculated to capitalize on sales.....I can picture it now, a bunch of marketing people crunching #'s saying "Jon, we've gotta find a way to capitalize on country right now.....what can you come up with?"......VOILA! - Lost Highway.


Fair enough it's a good record (not near their best - but solid), but this ticket business, that's just a whole new kick in the nuts.

I for one have been on stage a few times, I have been front row a few times, and I certainly won't be one of the exploited fans shelling out $400 for seat that should rightfully be no more than a disgusting $135.

I'll join the face-value folk in the rows after 15. I'll have a great time at the shows I go to and I certainly won't feel exploited by the back stage moneygrabbing.

Absolutely the WORST fanclub out there - they have really tainted my whole Bon Jovi experience.


I'm sorry, I just had to share and get this off my chest.


I'm getting sick of all this BS - if they spent as much time focussing on the music as they do about finding ways to screw loyal fans we'd have been treat to AMAZING MUSIC these past 10 years.

Final thought, I was always under the impression that loyalty was to be rewarded; why is it then,as a loyal Bon Jovi Supporter, all you get is a fatter bill at the end of the day. What's up with that?


Cheers,
