He lives there for quite a few years meanwhile.

Bands the size of Bon Jovi will be able to demand hefty guarantees, and also potentially a % of the gate takings on top of that (I'd be very surprised if the guys in the band are going out for anywhere near £100k a night, it's probably several times that)

The guarantee is exactly what it means, the band gets X amount regardless of how many tickets are sold. It's the promoters problem to make sure that enough tickets are sold to cover the guarantee and Bon Jovi aren't going to be going out with a guarantee that won't cover their operating costs.

With that in mind, financially, they are safe given that it's an outside promoter (AEG) that's in charge of the tour so why would Jon all of a sudden decide he's going to start pissing and moaning about money when they're going to be clearing enough to cover salaries, production costs and the band members' takes.

It doesn't make sense.
Exactly correct. The band gets a a hefty minimum PLUS a cut of the box office. AEG promotes them as they know they will and do make money with the tickets that are sold, their cut of merch, etc. But, I will say this, if this sort of drama keeps happening you can be assured that AEG won't be so quick to jump on board for their next tour, if there is one.

I am with Brian, and hope that there is more to the story than Richie bailing because he and Jon are not getting along. That would be a douche move and not something I believe Richie would do.

I don't think Richie would be so unprofessional to pull out of the tour at the last minute over a business issue. I don't think he would be that unfair to his fans who've paid for tickets and made travel plans to see him. I don't believe there are problems between Jon and Richie, but even if there were, I don't think Richie would punish the fans for it. He already canceled 4 solo dates and disappointed his fans. I don't think he'd do the same thing again. I just don't believe he's that selfish. I don't think he's that bad of a businessman either. If he gets a reputation as someone who doesn't show up for solo or band shows, people won't trust him enough to buy tickets in the future.
