Mannheim has a capacity of roughly 70.000 - 80.000 people. Bon Jovi sells 40.000 tickets, which means they didn't sell the 30.000-40.000 tickets. They knew this, yet to still make the same profit all tickets were more expensive than ever before in order for them to regain the losses they already knew they were making. This counts for all shows, and yet they still claim they sold them out which is once again pretending to be bigger than they are, a thing Jon has a fascination with. "Look at me, I belong to the big boys" while of all the big boys (Stones, U2, AC/DC and even Muse) he comes last. So yeah, other bands can outdo Bon Jovi, and they do it for a lot less as well.

Are you sure they can play stadiums outside of the UK AND sell them out? Not that I really care that much, but I've seen them doing an arena tour a few years back in Germany and can't imagine seeing them in a stadium.
