Well, ya'll can dish Matt as a liar, and Jon as an unscrupulous, cold hearted SOB of a CEO but Matt did what he said he would do, he emailed Jon and Jon made a change in the ticket set up. For those of you here that are FC members and aren't afraid or too proud to admit it, you might want to check out the O2 presale in your AM, you might just get a pleasant surprise.

Since questioning one's sexuality is obviously not topic related and rather insulting, I'll leave that idiotic statement alone. I'm definently not rich and have many bills to pay thank you very much. If you can't afford it, don't go. I wouldn't go to O2 because I simply can't afford it. I can complain and whine all I want, but it's not going to change the fact that I can't go or won't go. Tickets are still going to sell, and the arena will still be jammed pack whether I'm going or not. Quit being such a biggot and grow up.

That would be awesome for FC members. It sucks that it's only FC members that are going to have that opportunity though.

I wasn't aware that a throaway line observing the fact that your views about Bon Jovi are akin to those of a teeny-bopper adoring teenage girl, or pointing out in general that your views on the ticket issue are incredibly lame, qualified as being bigoted.

So there'll be an "In The Circle ticket only" ticket, but what might that cost? 150 instead of 200?

Salaam Aleikum,

Earlier this weekend, Seb - Matt was QUOTED as saying, if these type of tickets COULD be offered, then they will be $350. If that's the price that goes onsale today, remains to be seen. Double last tours prices for Inner Circle tickets.

That's still outrageous and still means that Jon, the CEO jibba jabba, thinks that those prices are worth it.

Here's the latest from Matt regarding the FC's outcry... dont think its been posted here. Sorry if it has.

Dear Backstage JBJ Family,

Your concerns have been heard. I have brought your concerns to Jon, and as soon as he heard about them, he made sure things were changed. At each price level the Fan Club will offer the best seats possible. We understand that in today's economic times many people are not able to afford the big packages but we want to give everyone, no matter your financial status, the opportunity to see the Greatest Rock Show On Earth. We are offering more levels then ever have been offered before. Know that regardless of the level you choose, you are in for a night to remember. A complete list of pre-sales as well as pricing will be posted soon. Know that our pre-sales will start on Nov 2 and the days following. Each day several cities will be up at a time. Don't miss out!!! Make sure you pre-register for tickets when possible so the process is smooth and fast for you.

Here are some of the major changes we're making because of your feedback:

- For all shows going forward, including O2 dates already on pre-sale and the upcoming New Meadowlands pre-sales, we are offering many incredible "In The Circle - Ticket Only" seats and "Circleside - Tickets Only" seats at FACE VALUE so you are not obligated to purchase a VIP package if you want to sit in the first few rows inside or outside the Circle. However, you will still have the option of purchasing In The Circle VIP packages or Circleside VIP packages for all of these shows. These incredible seats will be sold through the Backstage JBJ pre-sale ticketing sites - just go to our O2 page or our New Meadowlands page for more information on how to purchase for each.

- For the O2 dates that are currently on pre-sale, we are adding lower-priced seating at 45 GBP that will go on sale Monday. Again, we are reserving the best seats possible at EVERY price level just for Backstage JBJ members - you are not competing with anyone else for the best seats in each section. Going forward we will be offering all price levels in the house for every Bon Jovi show.

We're excited that we are able to offer you, our Backstage family, more options than ever. Know that we ARE always listening to you.

Regards,
Matt


I really wonder what Jon's initial reaction to all this was. Im skeptical of "I have brought your concerns to Jon, and as soon as he heard about them, he made sure things were changed." ... but then again I dunno.

There is that damn "level" thing again. Why can't fans regardless of whether they are fc members or not be able to purchase a ticket at a resonable price. It is still the ones with the most $ get closer.

Yeah its better than it was
Tickets are still way too expensive for the good seats.
If people didn't want to pay for the packages they could have bought tickets through TM
Feel sorry for the people who went and bought tickets already.
