The show sounded great. Our seats were awful though - on the side of the stage all the way on top. We couldn't see much at all. And, our view of the (not so big) screen that was on our side was a bit obstructed by by the stage. I will never go to a show unless I'm on the main floor - close to the stage, but this was all we can get for $50...we could not afford $95 for main floor and they were sold out fast anyway.

I was disappointed that they did not play "Complicated" from the new CD - it's a great song.

They had 4 slow songs in a row in the middle of the set and you can tell people were getting tired of hearing them as a lot of people (where we were) sat down during the 2nd and 3rd slow song! I thought it was strange that they would do that. They played Always, IBTFY, LYHOM, and BOG (acoustic).
I will say, that I really loved the acoustic IBTFY though.

And, very true about the parking - it took forever to get out of the lot! Nobody directing traffic at all. It was pretty bad.

So, I cannot say we had the best time unfortunately.

And, I know tour merchandise for alot of shows have gone up - not just for Bon Jovi but also for Def Leppard too as we saw them a few times this summer. I just wish they'd all stop raising those prices.
