They arrived just after and stood at the front of the queue - not sure why and not sure why none of us dared tell them that the end of the queue was at the back.

Thanks for that info. I think we went near the front of that VIP line because we'd been there earlier. When we first went round the back to that door no-one at all was there. We spoke to the lady and then someone else who said that that was the door we needed to go in (after being in the other line for 5hrs or so) but since the list wouldn't come till 7pm we should go to the pub for a bit. So we did that. I was thinking one of us should stay there but the others were like 'nah it's ok,' - so then when we came back half an hour later we were a bit confused that there was a fan club line suddenly there as well as the VIP line. We weren't sure whether the fan club line and VIP line were separate since we'd been told there were quite a few different lists, so we didn't want to go in the fan club queue since we weren't down on the fan club list. It's nice to know that someone was told to look for us though so thanks for that.

Yep, Jon saw us at lots of shows in the 90s (and some late 80s), met us a bunch of times, appreciated the fact that we'd travelled and supported the band so much and was kind enough to offer us passes.

I'm sure each and every one of you would not turn down passes or early entry if they were offered to you.

I'm super-grateful and honoured that Jon did this. Sorry some of you don't like it, but I think it's pretty awesome that someone acknowledges and appreciates others/fans enough to do something like this.

Every band has a guestlist though and gives out lots of free tickets/passes whether it be to friends, family, press or other. Sure, not every guest goes to the front (Bon Jovi are the only band I go front row for even though i get free tickets and photopasses for pretty much every show I review and photograph for my mag - since press get free tix/guestlist), but we like Bon Jovi a lot so like a good spot! Bon Jovi are the one band I care about more than any other and I'll continue to support them and be at shows as much as I can.

Shari - Thanks for posting your replies to the comments on here... I have seen you at many of the UK Jovi shows and often wondered how you always got to the front (and managed to get your beer hand delivered to you!!).

I say Good Luck to you

PS - If you have any spare VIP passes, i think you should give them to Supersonic on here, as he needs some cheering up after his recent Circle Review thread!!!

I think its cool that Jon did that for you, its a shame that now theyre so big its impossible to do it for other fans too. You didnt have to explain yourself though.
