Ridiculous that that should have to be taken into consideration, but a lesson we've learnt! Was talking to the missus about it, and she's gutted we chose Hampden as our DC ticket- should have used the Glasgow money and just bought DC for the 2 English gigs. Suppose we'll have to plan more carefully next time.

To be fair, much more carefully- I'll be considering what state the band are in by the next tour and how good the album is. Between this and the Richie fiasco, they'll have to do a bit more than simply be Bon Jovi to guarantee my loyalty from now on.

Nothing to do with loyalty for me - I enjoy them every time I see them - even Hampden, though it was short - I'll always do what I enjoy.

You're 100% correct.

It's an absolute disgrace that depending on where you see them is dependent on what kind of show you get and I don't mean inherently mean a lack of rarities... depends on what type of show you get from the band. They might have been tight last week but they couldn't have made it any clearer that they were going through the motions.

That is something you would NEVER have to fear with someone like Bruce and ultimately it's shown that the band have very little regard for their fans or else they'd treat them better.

Aside from this, a general lack of caring and piss poor music in recent times = me being done with the band unless they turn things around but at this point, I'm not particularly sure Jon cares or wants to do that.

Oh do piss off. You weren't even there so how can you possibly judge?

Is it too much to expect a bunch of 30 year veterans of world tours to treat every gig the same and not short hand any of their fans depending on their geographic locale?

I paid £35 for my ticket and still felt let down by what we got. If I'd paid full price even for GA or GS I'd have been livid.

The stadium was half empty and unless they break up or want to keep playing to ever decreasing crowds then they need to start treating all of their fans right. It's inherently wrong that if you look into their tours enough, you can work out with a good modicum of accuracy what will be a good show and what wont. You would never get that with any artist that showed a bit of respect for the people who put them where they are.

Pathetic from a band people have invested plenty of time and money into.

If you want to keep plugging money into them then knock yourself out and why don't you come to Scotland next time? there'll be plenty of seats and standing room.

Ok so for you a bon Jovi concert in the future is not for you. You won't see them again I'm guessing. Decision made.

There's currently around 4-5 posters who will not say a bad word about the current tour and go out of their way to try to demonise those who have something to say that isn't "Oh wow, I really enjoyed it".

They're probably best put on ignore.
