Will you go to this tour if prices stay the same?

I'd go at any price I could realistically afford.

No one will ever convince me these are "special event" prices or that it's due to the new arena. What's so special about downtown Newark?? And, it's 5 shows, not a one-off special event. At least with the Borgata's $250 prices that was for 1) a DVD taping and 2) the box set release which was definitely a one-off type of event. It's the only time some of those songs will ever be performed. I can justify paying that for the Borgata shows. But for the same old set list 5 nights in a row, with what I feel will be very few rarities, I think they're outta their effin minds to charge that price.

I hope I'm wrong about the set lists, but I'll eat my hat if it is any different than the last couple of tours with the exception being the addition of the LH songs.

The only way I would pay that price is if it a 3 hour concert, and they play the "These Days" Album in entirety.

Now that sounds like a good idea!!

Personally..I will not go to as many shows. On past tours I have done nearly all the UK shows plus Ireland, Amsterdam and New Jersey!

The O2 is £112...hahahha that is a joke when only last year we were shocked at Wembley/MK prices at £75/80.

If prices stay high I reckon I'll choose my venues carefully and end up only doing half the dates...I'm not alone on this.

The ticket prices have gone crazy...and the greed really pisses me off!

I consider myself as big a Bon Jovi fan as anyone. I also have a family to support. I won't buy the more expensive tickets because I can't afford it. Not all of the 10% of the big fans can afford these ticket prices.

I'm talking about standard prices on the last few tours, where normal tickets here have been around £30 and tickets for the pit/gold cirlce area being about £45. I personally don't think that is bad.

GC on the last tour was actually at least £60 with general admission standing being more in the £45 mark.

Well I got my gold circle ticket for Manchester and the ticket was £45, then ticketmaster charges on top of that.

Not sure what that equals in US dollars, but around here, for decent seats, I paid about $90. It's expensive, but I could deal with it. At least my option for cheaper seats was about $40, not $70.

What a way to repay "die hard" fans. $337 for the best seats in the house.

The Vegas show last year at the MGM Grand was more expensive then the rest of the tour, and I think that was based on the Venue and it being in Vegas. I've looked at a few concerts there compared to other places and the price was higher. On the other hand Bon Jovi also played for just over three hours, which I felt was sort of like them going "Ok we know you had to pay a lot, but this is the last night of this leg of the tour and we will make it special for you."

I really, really hemmed and hawed about going to the Calgary show because of the ticket price. But I've only gotten to see them three times before (Calgary 93, Edmonton 95, Vegas 05) so in the end I buckled. But if I lived in an area that had seen tours regularly or that I could have travelled to a number of shows in the area, then maybe not. I am a big enough Bon Jovi fan that last year when it was rumored they were going to come here I said I would see them in both Calgary and Edmonton. But now that they actually did announce and Edmonton show, I'm not going. To much money. I'll go see Live at the Stampede for free instead.
