Thanks for the very interesting Billboard data. OK. I’ve learnt when I should to say “sold out”. I think many of the audience or Japanese fans don’t know the Nagoya show and Tokyo shows and Osaka show were sold out because of plenty of empty seats, which usually doesn't happen at Bon Jovi show in Japan. Also, I’m happy that Udo protected the band’s honor not only in Japan but also in overseas. I’m glad to know that really there is a bond between Mr.Udo and Jon and the band.
I thought they sold approx.30,000 at least for the Osaka show at Osaka dome (Big baseball stadium), where the band USUALLY fill over approx. 50,000. (When there were 2 shows there, the 2nd show usually was sold out for 50,000 or more, typically the 1st one is less than the 2nd one, which can be said to any event/show.)
Only 23,426 for Osaka dome show…………..Looking at the figure, it’s like they did a show at an arena…………
60,549 for 2 Tokyo shows, then the 2nd one was 20,000 or less for the venue capacity of 55,000..........propably the # of the attendees was 1/3rd...................Although I already got shocked and was worried when I saw the view at the show, I got depressed again now revewing it with the figure.........
12,113 for Nagoya show………….I really appreciate that they didn't quit and performed in front of such small crowd for their Japan show in that big stadium.
I’m wishing that I can see the view that Tokyo dome and Osaka dome will be filled with people again on the next tour. (Maybe that’s not going to happen at Nagoya show, though.)
