Default Rant!

Yesterday made me see how much fans of Bon Jovi are getting ripped off on this tour. I saw Take that and paid £55 for a 2 and half hr show with a support act (Pet shop boys - before you mock they played 45 mins of well known hits here). We also got loads of special effects, fireworks, massive crew etc.

We turned up at 1pm and managed to get 3rd row next to the ramp on a normal priced ticket. Then I get a text from Kev to say there are 4 pits at Bon Jovi, DC, FC GC, GC and GA. Insane. For on average £90 a ticket Bon Jovi can't even provide us with a support act.

Now before you all say: go and see Take That x amount of times then - obviously I prefer BJ's music and wouldnt see multi TT shows - it just made me see how much fans are getting short changed. Regardless of what you TT's music, they have sold out over 20 nights in the UK and could easily have a shitty front pit and charge £200 a ticket - but they don't rip off their fans like a certain other band.

Take note Jon - sack your money grabbing brother and have one universal ticket - join the FC and get a wristband like the old days. Give something back to your fans who have followed your band for the last 30 years.

Rant over!
