If the band announce other dates later on for the UK, all it will show is how the devious little b*stards at BJ management were fully aware of the intended price of the O2 tickets and held off announcing further dates until desperation forced people's hands into shelling out for ridiculously overpriced tickets and selling out a venue that is fast proving itself to be nothing more than a gluttonous cash-cow for it's owners.
It's disgusting and I'm seriously tempted to say screw the live shows for good until they can at least learn to be sensible with their prices. If that means I miss seeing them play live, so be it. I have my live albums, I have youtube, I get to play the songs live regularly myself and I can go and see any number of other acts.
They aren't the only band on the planet FFS! I'd rather give my money to a band that treats its fans with the respect they deserve instead of milking them for everything they can get.
Even if we assume brand Bon Jovi had no idea of the extortionate prices of tickets to these shows, they could still do what Bruce did and stand up for the people who've supported them through thick or thin over the last 25 years!
