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.
I think for me the differences are a) it's finally in my city and b) they have a package without the hotel and transportation. Its $500 less than the other package. I'm not complaining so much as asking him why its that much and if it you're not taking advantage of the 3 night 2 day hotel accommodations then is it just a 1 day deal with a concert and the extras?

$2k for a weekend with the hotel I mean...I get it. I don't like it but I get it. Giving locals the option to enjoy it but charging $1500, that's where I start not understanding.

I get and understand your point. There are reasons why they charge the amount they do, we just don't know why. It's not like Jon and the band are going to get every single penny of that $2000 plus amount, they pay crew members, probably rent and space and other expenses, of course i am just guessing.

Fair enough, everyone has to get paid but regardless the people who aren't doing the hotel and party aren't getting the same experience and the price is too high. Just my two cents. I have to imagine Jon is getting a giant chunk of that. I'm not saying every penny but the amount they're making is really really high.

I love that it's the album being performed in its entirety, but hate how it will probably be a runaway tours exclusive. They should be doing this for publicity and for taping reasons to create hype for the release. Have contests in radio stations, YouTube and Facebook contests, stuff that would really give fans something to talk about all the way leading up to the shows. Meh, not everything is perfect....

Who knows maybe they are working on something but no details yet.

Agreed, but are we ruling out that they won't film/broadcast one of the shows? I love when a band comes out playing their new album in its entirety, such as when the Foos did Wasting Light.

The prices are sickening. I mostly ignore the Runaway Tours stuff because it represents flagrant fleecing of the fans. Yes, there are fans ready and willing to pay those prices, but it's an outrageous price without the value attached. It's a bastardization of the relationship between your most ardent fans and your music.

On bonjovi.com they mentioned that one show (the final one in nyc) will be live streamed on this "Tidal" site. This will require a membership - though a 30-day free trial is available. I'm quite excited to hear the entire album live - am I correct in saying this has only ever been done with LH before?

In terms of prices, I'm with you - it's pure greed. There's no need for tickets to be so expensive - but I'm not knocking anyone who is willing to pay that much for it. It's absolutely their choice and hopefully they will remember and cherish it forever. I could never justify those prices though. Perhaps we'll see a price hike for the concerts during the THINFS tour now that they are (possibly) doing fewer shows? I suppose we'll just have to take each tour as a blessing - who knows how long they'll keep doing this!

How can the biggest touring band of last 10 years charge this offensive prices?
