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.

660.000 in UK ? Are you joking. They played 5 venues and sold total tickets around 180.000, just like this time. Same goes for Germany and Austria, Spain...
I do agree about demand, but its not any different than in 2013 in fact its even better because of Richie is gone
And yes they lost half of their audience, mommys are gone/getting older
, no new younger fans, no radio hits......
