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!
