I don't really feel anyone has a right to complain. You buy the cd's, you buy the merchandise, you go to see shows, you are paying for something specific, not a part of that band or a say in what they do.

I don't mean to be rude Thomas, but you live in the UK, yes?....perhaps if you lived here, where the band has not toured since 1995, instead of a country where they have never NOT toured, you'd be somewhat more sympathetic to those of us who 'complain'....'you go see the shows'...to whom is that part of your post directed?...surely not to the aussies or the kiwis.
Had I been at the listening party and had the opportunity to ask Jon a question it would have been:
"Do you and/or the band suffer from equatophobia?" [the fear of passing over the equator from north to south]
Oh...and before anyone starts with the 'it's too far away... it cost so much to take a tour downunder...if the Cd does well, maybe they'll tour there' stuff - just as I have no insight specifically into what exactly it costs to bring a tour here, people not living in Oz do not appreciate the fact that many big name acts DO come here ['03 The Stones, Springsteen, - '04 Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles], and that BJ do phenomenally well here...from NJ through to Crush, all those albums debuted at no. 1, despite the fact that the band had not toured here since '95.....Bounce may have debuted at No. 1 instead of No. 4, but went head to head with the Elvis album. It's going to be hard for the album to do well here when the band have not been here [please do not include the Universal Appeal gig or worse still, Rumba] into the BJ tour history of Oz....I think even the band wonder why they did Rumba.

Stands up an applaudes - thank you- that is exactly what I wanted to say. I tried putting it into words, but you got it in one.

That's okay Sue...I understand how you, we all feel right now....I had to say that stuff because we aussies copped quite a lot of flack [not so much here, but certainly elsewhere] when BJ didn't include Oz in 2003, and I dare say we will again. One day I just might post the 'behind the scenes' facts that those people never wanted to hear with regard to that....might help them better understand our point of view.

I posted a similar reply elsewhere but since this is the right place I'll post it again.

I'm pretty certain Spain won't be part of the lucky 13 but we'll see which those are and the dates too. It would be cool to see them someplace else.

I'm finding it odd that the tour starts in November though. Thought it was all about summer tours.

I think very low, since they have to go to Skandinavia then.

It's very frustrating that they are leaving AUS/NZ off their tour again. How is it that U2 are including it in their tour and The Stones again?

Well than I have to start saving some money and go to the UK... And thats not cheap... I don't understand why they can't come to skandinavia...

Simple I think the promotors from Scandinavia don't pay enough. It would be too expensive to go to Scandinavia for just one or two shows.
