Concert capacity for Foro Sol, Hampden Park, Ford Field, and Soldier Field is 50,000. For MetLife and Gillette: 55,000 each. The two amphitheaters also hold more than the Bon Jovi attendance figures.

"Sold out" means zilch since it's the promoter who decides the number that constitutes a sell out. But I'd like to see the comparison of gross figures for each venue, or even overall, compared to last tour. That would indicate how well (or poorly) this tour has sold.
The fact that the official site and their Facebook and twitter accounts are begging fans to vote for them for Billboard's best tour of the year award is laughable. "Be sure to keep checking BonJovi.com/Vote each day to see photos, stories and highlights from Bon Jovi's greatest tour yet!" Canceled dates, rescheduled dates, shows relocated to smaller venues, no Richie, no Tico, an impromptu Kings of Suburbia show billed as Bon Jovi, no setlist variation.......Bon Jovi's greatest tour yet? Umm no.
