IF IT WAS the same ole good success in the usa THEY WOULD NOT GO TO SOUTH AFRICA no offense from me to the south africaners but jovi doesn't care that much to please the world potential audience they focus on being the best touring band making the most money jon needs that more than air
this tour is like these days
thse days situation was like this tour on 2 years as well ... and thne they stopped after it because they felt the saturation of the usa market but it was obvious this is what happened few years after ...history is on repeat perpetually
and the usa and the usual canada germany uk and few selected europe cities gross alone won't buy Jon his football team (not anymore)

I'm don't agree on this. They announced a large tour before the first dates were announced. So it's not like they are trying to find new markets when they felt the US was doing bad.
They have been touring the US so hard since 2000 that's it a bit normal that some folks skip a tour once in a while. AND i blame the high prices for less ticket sales. Other artists are suffering the same thing but far worse that jovi.
Anyway... The huge tour in 95/96 was the last tour before a 4/5 year break.
If Bon Jovi wants to remain a WORLD act, they have to go out and play the world and not being lazy and just do US / Western Europe + a few Japan/Australia shows
Look at the other 3 major touring bands: U2, Stones, Metallica (and maybe add Bruce): When they go out on a world tour it is really a world tour.
After 15 years it would be very nice for South Africa to get a real tour with some shows. Same thing for the far east, middle east and all places where they haven't been for too long.
One thing I really hate is the fact they tour with an A and a B stage. USA, Europe, Australia getting the top notch thing. New Zealand, South America and probably all other continents getting the B stage.
I don't see U2 and The stones doing this!!!
