Had you read their post clearly you would see that they said they heard 7 songs from These Days, not 7 songs total. Hearing only 7 songs at 8 concerts is an impossibility.

They sure did Carli - Paul and I are still enjoying those shows long distance LOL

It's a fundraiser for a PRIVATE school where his son attends. All the funds for the school to operate, for the most part are from private donations and tuition. Highly doubt the school cares who attends this event, but I'm sure this event is targeted to those that have a vested interest in the school not Bon Jovi fans.

That and the most expensive seats are actually about $400 per head. still trés expensive, granted, but not quite the thousands...

A bit harsh isn't it?? It's a fundraiser for his kids school. Not only is he donating his services to this event, he's probably writing a huge check for the school on top of it. You know what I find funny??? Fans critisizing an event that wasn't even advertised by JOn, Bon Jovi, or Backstage in any way, this was a stricly private event, obviously meant for those with a vested interset in the school, ie theparents, alumni, etc..... of said school.

It's a fundraiser for a private school that's attended almost exclusively by kids from very rich families. To them, the prices are probably a drop in the bucket anyway.

Amen. I went to a private school - nothing like Poly Prep, but private nonetheless - and we had fundraiser events all the time. The prices were different, because those who'd be attending/donating were from a different tax bracket. Such events are one of the ways that private schools a) stay afloat and b) fund special programs.
