My theory is that The Bamboozle hasn't sold anywhere near the number of wristbands and pricey VIP packages that they thought they were going to sell. I have no way to know, of course, but it kind of feels like a fire sale to me.

Agreed with the people that said you'd have to be crazy for them to NOT play the hits.

I do not understand the news. Do you mean?. Does playing songs box set?. Do not play the hits? It sounds fantastic if this is done. Can anyone have confirmation?.

Livin' On A Prayer
You Give Love A Bad Name
It's My Life
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Who Says You Can't Go Home
Bad Medicine
Have A Nice Day

I think it just means a setlist will be played including the obvious hits like these (give or take a few songs, of course).

No, he worded it badly. He was listening to the box set when he saw the billboard advertising the hits only show.

Agreed Terri. I think the promoters, with having Bon Jovi as a headliner, were counting on drawing those with deeper pockets vs the normal Bamboozle goer. I don't think that has really happened!

I'm with you too Terri - I notice that even single day tickets are now cheaper on the Bamboozle site than what I paid for them when they first appeared. A fact that does not make me happy. I hope Asbury Park benefits from the extra money though.

They've just come off a massive two year tour. This aint Elvis back from the dead for one last show. I'm not surprised people aren't clambering for tickets.

I agree - I'm going because it's local and I have spent so many years supporting Asbury Park that I'm not going to stop now. This is NOT a show I would travel for though if it weren't local. I'm assuming that we are going to hear all the hits all the time and nothing else. If for some reason we do get something different I will consider myself lucky.
