Default Make the Southampton show special

This is my hometown, I want this to be special. This will be Bon Jovi's first venture into England this year before they go and later in the month come back?

As a result this show could go either way. On one hand it is a bit of a one off in England, also with no show the day before and no show the day after, nothing stopping the band from giving it everything. Last time here in 2006 they held back, largely due to the fact they had 2 Milton Keynes dates straight after that show, not the best planning. As I say this year works better:

Jun 7, 2008 Punchestown Racecourse Dublin, Ireland
Jun 11, 2008 St. Marys Stadium Southampton, United Kingdom
Jun 13, 2008 Amsterdam Arena Amsterdam, Holland

However, as this is not a huge date for them we could just get the standard set, please don't let this happen!

After seeing the recent sets with 'Aways' & 'Hey God' my hopes are high. I want a longer show than 2006 please.

I'm going to the Coventry show and they've got a concert the next day, that worries me slightly...

But I suppose it all depends on how they feel on the day.

There seems to be loads of tickets left for all the shows except Bristol, which is a pretty small stadium.

For some reason the general public seem to think Bon Jovi have gone completely country so that might have a say in the sluggish sales.

I'm sure all the shows will be special in their own way - it's what you make of them, and you have to make the best of them. I can't wait until Southampton.........or Bristol.................or Twicks!!!!!

You may get a special one at Southampton due to their being a few days off either side.

If last tour is anything to go by, Hampden Park will be bog standard, Manchester will get a good set they always like playing there cause of the crowd, then between manchester and Twickenham it will be bog standard.

If you can grab tickets to Twickenham 28th too. They will mix up those 2 dates, I am sure that most of the tracks you want will be played over both nights.

Only 4 days to go, cant wait! Southampton will be special as the 1st gig of the UK tour. I just hope the M25 is open this time around so I can get there in under 6 hours!
