The problem is a lot of people are crying and moaning yet they have bought tickets for more than one night...

Also my point with the Stereophonics was, if you wanna pay cheap you're gonna get trash
Glad we agree on the Sterephonics, but then without being a fan myself I wonder that they're probably much more in touch with reality than Bon Jovi are.

The last few Bon Jovi tours have been undersold. I haven't seen them as many times as most have, but I think it's now at around 30 shows and not a single one of those has been sold out. In fact, a great deal of them have been undersold by quite some way.

The problem is that they still roll in so much money both for themselves and the organisers. What they need is a wake-up call. Unfortunately, I imagine that anything above 60% sold out is probably a decent result for both the band and promoters because they build so much margin into their ticket prices. If the band did 20 shows at #40 tickets they'd probably actually build up an even larger fanbase and sell most of the dates 80%+. As it is my hope is that they sell the shows very poorly and that it turns out to be a disaster for them.

A lot of my favourite bands were as large as Bon Jovi were at their peak, they've made their millions and yet they tour now for the joy of playing live. They don't need the money, in fact they charge about 25 pounds for shows and sweat and bleed on stage for the love of what they're doing. Jon has spent the past 9 years since they reunited talking about how he doesn't live touring anymore... not once do I hear him talking anymore about that thrill or adrenaline or passion playing on stage, about that urge to prove critics wrong, to make every person in the venue go away thinking they've seen something special.

I have bought tickets to two shows and the only reason I can think why is because (a) for once in my life I can afford it (though I bought cheaper seats ) (b) I'm addicted from seeing them on the past few tours. I became the biggest fan during the time there was no activity from the band; 96-2000. When finally it came I took every chance to see them I could as if it would be the last... in hindsight I'd have been quite happy if 2001 had been their swansong. Oh well...

I have also done this,

I would love to see the press pick this up and the Jon come out and try and defend the prices.

Cannot believe Matts letter, that is just hilarious trying to justify $3500 for 2 tickets as cheap! are you F***king kidding me!

Signed. And for the record, I will be buying two tickets to Giants, because the prices there aren't that bad. But the prices for the European dates are obscene, and you guys don't deserve that shit.
