None of those shows were sold out. None of them. Yet they go ahead and change the numbers after the show. The Belgian concert organizers expected to sell 40.000 tickets, sold 28.000 tickets yet Jon claimed there were 35.000 people on the beach.

Overhyping only works to a certain extent. Any concert promoter in Europe knows they can make money on Bon Jovi, but any concert promoter also knows how impossible it was to sell out the venues in which Bon Jovi wanted to play. It's the reason why Japanese concert promoters gave up on them, they can't sell out where they want to play, hence so few dates in Japan.
