I know - Very odd.

The album sales have sucked in the UK, but ticket sales are up.

Album sales have been very good in the US, but ticket sales for this leg are down.

Go figure.

Default ticket sales great in us too

bon jovi played 64 arenas in us all sold out or close to, it was a huge arena tour so yes the album sold a million there which was great but the ticket sales have been brilliant to some places were 1 date but ended up being 3 or 4 and now there doing 9 stadium dates in july in us and 3 nights at the giants where they usually do 2

Hmmmmmmm well tickets for both nights for MK were selling for well below face value on the day. I wouldnt say it was exactly hard to get tickets for any of these shows to be honest.

I wouldn't bet on that. I would imagine HAND to be their worst selling studio album since 7800 in the UK
