Not very different, but there are differences. Belgium pretty much has, to my experience, the shittiest crowds of Europe when it comes to Bon Jovi shows. They're dead silent at times, hard to get into a show and before and after a show is done there's zero atmosphere. People from Belgium often think they're very into music and can be a bit of a snob when it comes to that, but pretty much every concert in Belgium has been shit crowd wise, and I'm not just talking about Bon Jovi. Germany has a good crowd, but they'll boo at the support act if they don't like them, or if they massively hate a song they'll raise their middle finger to the band (seen it happen one time). Italy, Spain and Lissabon have a lot more passionate crowds. Nothing beats the Dutch though, but people from Germany have a bit of an issue with that.

Yes. However, the starting time is usually the time when the first support act goes on stage. Most concerts in Europe start at 8:30, 9 with a curfew of 11 or 11:30, if there is one.

People without a Fanclub ticket who still want to be front row or close to the front row of the Golden Circle will start to arrive at 2 PM. Realize that this time the Golden Circle starts behind the catwalk, and not like the Lost Highway tour right in front of the stage. Even if you are front row of the Golden Circle, you'll still be a bit further away than usual. I'm doing mostly the same shows you're doing and wouldn't be too fussed about where you'd be.
