Finally in Toronto. For $1545 dollars I can pay and omit the hotel and transportation. $1545 a person. You've got to be kidding me. At least with the high prices you can justify the hotel experience a little but $1545 is excessive for a non hotel/non transportation package.

This has to be a wind up. They are promo'ing the album through the absolutely extortionate Runaway Tours package?

The London Palladium would be a cool and very different place to see them.

If it turns out this doesn't go onsale to general public too that's disgraceful.

He responded to me. He's talking about how they're not brokers or ticket promoters, they're a tour company. But if you give someone the option to not go for the hotel and transportation you have no real reason to charge that high amount.

Of course they have to, overhead costs. Plus Jon has to eat right?

Yep, financially a good idea (short Term), but many missed opportunities. So We Most probably won't Get a live stream, the Media coverage is not so high like with let's Say Radio Shows, and I suppose there won't be any Ticket giveaways/competitions in Radio stations, which could increase awareness a little further.
Does really look like they're catering the Fans they have while completely neglecting the acquisition of New Fans (even though One could argue that bon jovi are so "uncool" nowadays that there won't be many New Fans, no matter what they Put out)

But, for the sake of being positive regarding at least one point: the entirety thing is really cool

http://www.bonjovi.com/tidal-present...-not-for-sale/

Some interesting things in there.

First,
Quote:
Kicking off each show with their latest hit single, “This House Is Not for Sale,
That means we know the opener. And they consider it a "hit single"... ok, I will file that under "marketing blah"

Quote:
“we have something to say and nothing to prove,” says Jon Bon Jovi (...)
This part is written twice in that article.

Quote:
Tickets will not be sold
Yeah, but horrendously prices RT packages. Even they don't call it "sale" anymore, but rip-off :P But honestly, as long as there are people spending huge chunks of money on that I can see why they are doing this.

Quote:
10/01 – Red Bank, NJ – Count Basie
A fourth, or better, first show! So that mini-tour has 4 stops. It says that Tidal members get access to "exclusive content". Interesting.

I don't need a package to go to NYC. I live here. Even so - it would cost my husband and me $3,000.00 USD to hear the new album with no tour support. Sorry but that's obscene, but it will probably sell out instantly.

I have people coming after me now for judging this not knowing the costs involved. I've been to Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto plenty of times. If the overhead was that high then everyone would charge $1500. Anything on the side of this package is not worth that amount , its just robbery.

You know i also cannot afford the high price, and they are pretty high, but honestly what good will it do to complain about it? If u can't afford it then you can't. Do you think they will change the pricing just because some are complaining? They know that there are fans whom are willing to pay, let's not hate on them, and another thing, let's remember that these events do sell out quickly, these are willing and financially capable to go.
