I want to know why they refuse to use recent photos of Jon when promoting these things.

That pic is ridiculous, so much photoshop he doesn't even look the same. Especially around the eyes, his eyebrows look like somebody's mustache split into 2 and is hiding in Jon's face....

I've wondered this also. Since this is basically sold entirely on pre-sales, could they just produce the amount of passes they sell and call it 'sold out'? Or is the capacity determined before this goes on sale? I don't think I would go even if I had the money, that's a lot of live shows that could buy. Even include the whole band for when they go on tour soon and it's a better live experience....

RT just announced on Twitter that the "No Hotel" option is sold out and the hotel package at the Morrison Hotel is sold out. Jon will keep doing these gigs as long as there is a demand

He seems to have down syndrome. The person who did this is quite a incompetente. So things work for a long time.

Yep. Such a waste of money, if the tickets where reasonably priced I'd go.

I remember paying about £300 odd for a backstage event at Hard Rock Cafe in London years ago and I thought that was ridiculously overpriced for what it was too.

Especially as there was a short Q&A, no photo opps and the performance was by a tribute act ffs. Jon literally swung in and out on his way to dinner.

That sort of price range, whilst still being dear, would encourage me if there's a photo op. But over a grand?? Ludicrous, but then people still lap it up and excuse it over social media so Matt and his cronies just hoover up the easy money.

It sadly means that there will never be a reasonably priced meet and greet ever going forward whilst people happily throw money at RT.

This is one of the biggest things that annoys me. Why are people saying this price is okay? If you have the money and want to go to it, fine, but to say that it's a fair price is just ridiculous. I'd love to do one of them shows. From a young age I'd like to meet Jon and more importantly I'd love to hear some rare songs that I probably won't hear at a show, even if he can't sing them half as good.

Some of the social media responses have been laughable. Matt is just a bell.

Jon could do various acts, one for working-class fans and others to the rich.
