How can the biggest touring band of last 10 years charge this offensive prices?
Because people buy tickets. Plus Matt has to eat!

Wow, £1200 just for the ticket. I'm not surprised given the past rt shows prices, but it's the hope that kills you being in my back yard I was hoping for a few hundred quid I could see the show and get a photo with Jon. I could pay it, but I'd rather spend it on my son, I couldn't justify that expense to myself or smile next to Jon when I've been charged that much.

Outrageous fees for a band willing to milk their fan base. It's really tough to defend them given the decline in material, live shows and the increase in cost

lots of negativity through social media about the prices...and honestly people have the right to be dissapointed, i get the gold circle etc but giving tickets only through runaway trips make these shows unavailable for the diehards. i try not to be negative but(i will be...)
1.matt acts like a tool many times, he probably convinced jon this would be a good idea and they are making money in a way that hurts the bands image. i m all for free economy, but take some action to even the game. give 50 free tickets or sth...

2. tony bonjiovi, i get that jon is loyal and i cant really judge tonys work but most of the dvd releases by him where missing sth imo...they are good but they could all be better...tony now is the director of the show/new tour and if we ll get a dvd he ll probably be behind it..jon should nvest some money for a great director though because if you wanna be remembered like a great live act some good dvd releases would help.

3.jons dad and the bonjiovi brand sause is a bit embarassing...using jons brand name to sell sauce... sure some of the profits go to charity and i guess that was jons thought but still using a rock band to sell sause makes it a bit cheap..

It is all an act. Ego, money and power. It is capitalism and American hypocracy. Jon doesnt have the backbone to be a real artist. He can talk as much about how he loves writing songs as he wants. What he talks about and what is happening are two different sides.

It's a shame. I had a small feeling that maybeeeee JBJ would be different this album/tour. The whole 'nothing to prove' rubbish he's come out with. Yet both songs we have heard and these RT tickets are no different to anything we have seen or heard.

You know I complain a lot but there was a tiny little bit of hope left that I was wrong. I would actually love nothing more than to be wrong here. I dont like to judge people, in fact I hate it. But when I said I was done with the band, this is exactly why I dont care anymore.

Besides the money, I think there's another thing here:
They play shows of the new album which is obviously much easier for Jon to sing, so he doesn't have to bother nor emberace himself with a lot of oldies if at all. And on the other hand they pressent it as super cool thing (which can be argued, I wouldn't pay to see them do only these songs).
I mean, it would be cooler if they could do full Slippery for 30 years anniversary like Greenday did for their 20 years, but Jon clearly can't...

Jon has come a long way from the days of playing fans new songs in a pizza parlour for free.
