Right. Let's dumb it down a bit.
Bon Jovi sold roughly 660.000 tickets in the U.K. the last time the band was there. This time around they play 3 venues with a total capacity of 175.000 yet haven't sold out either show.
Bon Jovi sold roughly 155.000 tickets in Germany the last time the band was there. This time around they play 2 venues with a total capacity of 140.000 and yet haven't sold out either show.
Bon Jovi's popularity has been on the decline for the last 20 years. With every subsequent tour demand has gone down hence the addition of shows in Spain and Eastern Europe. They have to, or they won't make as money as Jon wants to.
Even though I'm still surprised at how well the band are doing this time around there's no denying demand has gone down a lot. In a period of 20 years they've lost about half of their audience in what used to be their most lucrative market.
Salaam Aleikum,
