But you are right....I have to move on,I am just really bad at it (as you might imagine)


After seeing the pricing packages for US shows (in particular those where you pay for unnecessary extras like taking your seat home too) and the ever expanding Gold Circle and introduction of Platinum Circle for UK stadium shows it's hard not to feel cynical about the JBJ way. The fact he positions himself so clearly in the organization of it all doesn't help at times. The burden of the business and the fact the band are contracted to him only makes JBJ the focal point of the increases and expenses the fan base are faced with. I think tbh that when you control so much that rather than claiming extra pieces of the pie it isn't unreasonable to expect better value.
