Besides, he told us himself. He's a "CEO running a brand for 25 years." The CEO has no say about the prices? I don't think so.
Now, the booking fee--that may be an AEG or ticket company issue.

Wrong. AEG and the local promotors set the prices. Jovi only sets a bar on what has to be their NET revenue. That's all. Look at the differences in ticketprices during LH tour.
Holland 64 euro for GC tix. Belgium (one day after) was 100 euro.
Famous concert promotor Live Nation (and Herman Schuurmans) had the plan to organise BJ in Belgium at lower ticketprices and thus selling more tickets. Nope, AEG outbid them with plan for higher prices.
Jon does not run details from country to country. He just negociates their deal in general with live nation (how many shows, revenue per show, ... that's it). AEG's business is maximizing it's own profit.
