I just posted on the Runaway Tour page that every pub singer has more integrity and a better voice. And then they banned me. I think i am out to my local Irish Pub tonight to hear some music for a few bucks. Better quality, i suppose.

[QUOTE=Bounce7800;1206993]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. /QUOTE]

That is the thing. I could easily save up this money and go but for this money I would be able to do a week-long trip in the states AND see some decent concert on top of it. NO BAND is worth that kind of money.

There is no excuse for those prices. The smaller shows cost A LOT LESS to put on than a huge stadium or even an arena show. It's all about the money.....

I'm going to try the free month of Tidal in order to watch the live stream which is the 20th of October.

I have a question for anyone who is already using it: Can I watch the concert after the live stream? Let's say, I want to watch it 2 days later, can I? And another one, but I feel that I know the answer: Is there a way to download the concert and watch it whenever I feel like?

But they are giving away tickets for all 4 shows, aren't they? At least that's what I understood...

It'll be like 5 tickets per show but hey, who's complaining? Not me or the other 99% of the fans who can't afford (or won't pay) the outrageous price. They care about the poor people

If I had that money, I'd pay to see THE BAND. But like 1/10 of that price lol

Wish me luck if there's a giveaway. I need 3-4 tickets he he

Do you know if the album will be played in its entirely in each show or for example will they play a few new songs in London and a few in NY until they complete the full album ?

Each show will have the full album.

The RT trips have always bothered me because of their outrageous prices when Jon sells Bon Jovi as a blue collar fan's band, but these shows take the cake.

Full band promo shows should target everyone, not just the ones who think $1500 for a concert is a reasonable price. How does offering only these exclusive high priced trips promote the new album? I mean, what marketing genius thought this was a good idea?

These trips will not increase buzz, hype, album sales or anything else in the slightest. Anyone willing to fork out that dough to go on the trip was already planning to buy the album anyway.

They don't see (they do, but they pretend not to) that charging let's say $500 per single ticket for an intimate mini tour would be a huge success both in terms of selling out the shows and keeping the regular fan happy. It would still be waaaaay out of my price range but somewhat reasonable for this type of one-of-a-kind event

But fans pay the $1500 happily and poor Jon is not even aware of how much they are charging. His evil handlers keep him in the dark.

Sigh...

They will absolutely sell out and give the band the money they won't get through album sales and it won't gain any new fans. If anything it's pissing off some old ones. It's a cash grab and supply and demand at the same time.
