I don't see anything wrong with this at all. I actually think it's a pretty cool thing for the band to do. Considering how difficult it is to get noticed or to break into the business anymore, having a chance to open for a major band on tour is a big deal for young bands.

How pray tell is it a rip-off??? The tickets I bought say I paid to see BJ for that money not anyone else. I did very much enjoy seeing the Goos last tour but truthfully, I'm there to see BJ and if it happens that the front band has some good songs and i like the music then cool. If not I got what i paid for i got to see Bon Jovi.
