Top Tour so far this year

**** Springsteen this is a Bon jovi forum.
I like Springsteen ...a lot but **** me shut up about him here!!!!

And believe me they don't bring up Bon Jovi on a Bruce forum this often, LOL

I love both of them too, for different reasons. They can co-exist in the same world... really

Both equally awesome for what they do.

Don't be ridiculous. Bruce is up there all right. He would sell tickets at the same high prices. Choosing not to charge as much, and not ripping people off, speaks real volumes...

OO really, how about other tour markets like Japan, Australia, South America....Worldwide Bon Jovi are much bigger acts. No doubt about that. They are the same maybe in Europe and that it.....But we forget something, Bj are on the top for about 20 years (Europe), Bruce not.....

BTW i admire and love Boss little less than Jovi, but these two are my fav. all time artists

Yep, worldwide it is a different story, especially Asia and South America. Obviously in Europe and the U.S. it is probably fairly even.

I am not going to go into this much because I am not even sure, but aren't Bruce's tickets more expensive than Bon Jovi's? There are a few praising Springsteen for low prices and I always thought they were higher. Yay or nay?

No kidding. It got old a long time ago.

The only reason Springsteen gets compared is to show that Jon Bon has no excuse for his lazy changes and mediocre shows. Springsteen sets the bar, and Jon Bon is nowhere near.

In the U.S., Bruce's top ticket price is fraction of Bon Jovi's top price, plus Bruce doesn't offer all those insanely expensive VIP packages. On the flip side, Bruce doesn't have as many price points, so if you don't pull a good ticket, you'll end up paying the same price for one across the arena/stadium or up high.

EDIT - Jovi's ticket's are a lot cheaper in Europe, so maybe the difference isn't as dramatic. I've never bought Bruce tix over there, so I don't know how they compare.

Bruce tickets range from around £60-£80. But you can get to the very front of the stage with those tickets. There's no Diamond circle rip off and Gold circle is first come first served at the shows I've been to.

It's stupid comparing tours half way through the year anyway. Bon Jovi have played 60 shows and Bruce 31 shows. So it's obvious who would have grossed more.

MetallicA not as big as Jovi,someone having a laugh here,you try getting a Jovi ticket,dead easy,even Diamond circle,MetallicA,no chance.When did Jovi last sell out the Stade de France,did they even fill Bercy .. ? Just one example .. Plus they don't charge the stupid prices that Jon charges and yes that we are even stupider to pay.
