I was talking to Jon's assistant tour manager after the Sydney concert even though Jon just said to us the show in sydney was "f**king great", I knew the reason to do rumba was to test the "market" and at the end of the week of all rumbas i said to him "you are not coming back for a full tour are you?" (dave, tico had previously told me yes....) and the reply was a reluctant but definate "NO"....
Answer to Why? Too expensive and far to travel....obviously the market too risky - ticket prices would have to be higher than usual and why do a show in Aus that will not make any money when you can sell out shows in japan and Germany 5 times over?
Sad but true...the guys can pick and choose now - as much as they rock any show big or small and give it EVERYTHING they have got.... it's all about the "achievement" - and ofcourse money to a degree - it is a HUGE operation.... (and as Jon says he is not going to bve the "fat elvis")
Sorry fellow Aussies - start saving for that overseas trip if u want to catch Bon Jovi in the next 3 years...

Why would Jon very publicly say they are coming back and that this time is to make up for the Crush Tour, if they are going to do the same thing again and pass on Australia? And if you were going to make the trip all the way to Australia, wouldn't you actually do a few full shows instead of merely half ones, as they did by appearing at Rumba? If money is the issue, I don't think they would have made much from their appearance at Rumba.
