The standing area in Hampden Park is huge. It'd take 30-40,000 easily.

Honest review

I'm a big Richie fan and have seen them 8 times and I was very very negative looking forward to this gig due to the Richie thing. We had VIP package booked which I actually tried to get refunded as per bonjovi.com statement. This was refused by see tickets, AEG and bon jovi mgmt!!!

So better make the most of it.... Arrived.... No seats left in hospitality. Bar and food was way less than offered at Murrayfield last tour.

The gig itself. 15 mins late starting, not unusual. The band put in a good shift considering. Totally underwhelmed at the contribution Phil x makes and pleasantly impressed at the singing and guitar work bobby supplies (more solo work than Phil BTW...). Richie was missed, Im 33 and was in tears during wanted, its just not right without him.

Overall though, the lack of encore and audience interaction, along with the crap vip package and merch leaves me in no doubt that I will never pay to see this band again.

I just saw the setlist and all I can say is... what a downer, the setlist sucked and seems that most of you didn't have a good time.

Both shows were played with the stage to the side of the stadium, reducing the usual capacity.

Easily the worst show. Just nothing. Basic, bland. Almost "working to rule". Done the bare minimum and nothing more. I'm trying to convince some first timers its not always so boring. I might fail. Shite.

There's Jon for you. Why play the rarities for the ones that attended? NO REASON.

Jovi Logic.
