Rumba Rip Off?!
 

This is the apparent Play List for Rumba... Note that Bon Jovi are only scheduled for 45 minutes and SECOND last.... I thought it was advertised that they were headlining?!

Maybe we should start a petition or something letting the organisers of Rumba know how we feel?!?!

Well, I did expect them to play for an hour, so 45 mins is a bit less than what I expected, but just because they aren't playing last, doesn't mean they're not headlining it. At M-One, Nickelback and Billy Idol, the two main attractions, went 4th and 3rd last respectively, but they did get the most play-time. The only band to get anywhere near the same amount of time as Bon Jovi at Rumba are ****ing Shaggy and Pink, but I don't mind Pink, so that's ok, though Shaggy is complete BS!

yes.. i was a tadd annoyed when I saw the times and lineup. I dont mind that they are at the end..well almost at the end... but ffs..45mins? what a complete joke.

Let me see..their doing 3 shows.
3x45 = 135 / 60 = 2hrs 15min

Their flying 15 or so hours for 3 days that doesn't even make up a 'normal' lenght show.

JIBBED! is all i can say.

humm..i wonder if their gonna be at the autograph stand... they better be, and i better get to say hi to them..otherwise i'm gonna be completely peeved'.

No offense, but there is no way in hell they would be doing any autograph session of any kind. Not a chance. I wont even show up to this "concert" until about 8.15pm, Ill be lucky to be in the place an hour.

aww i'm hopeful that they will do some autographs, but could you imagine, it'll be complete HELL for them!! Let's hope there is some kind of agreement they have to sign that says they HAVE to sign x amount of autographs!! Hey i can dream right?!!

Well yeah..it probably would be hell...and yes we can only dream i suppose.
I just thought, imagine if they did, and you were in line and all these little rumba teenie boppers were in line too, they got autographs and as soon you you got to the front they left, because their time was up. Just imagine it...dam teenie boppers! Die teenie boppers!

ROTFL!! That will be the worst part of the day i think!! 11 year old girls who have never heard "Living on a prayer" going "JOOOOONNN!!!!! I LOVE YOU JOOOONNN!!"

I know I know. Could you just imagine it.
I suppose if it happened, tennie boppers usually range from 11-15 or so...and beeing some years older..they shouldn't be hard to roll-over'. :P

Nah..can't do that...a large group of them might hit me with shaggy or some stupid popstar posters.

Dammit....all I want to do is see them play..and it has to be at farking rumba. :?


What sort of tickets do u guys have? seats or standing?
I have seats... but would love to like see some of you..make a small group of jovi fans..or something like that.

I'm gen ad, and even though I'm gonna have to stand through a lot of crap acts through the day, I'll be there early so I can get my wrist band and get in the D! Then I'll just hang back for the acts I don't give a **** about and come in when there's something of interest (eg. Taxiride) to see. Maybe this doesn't apply to all of you, but I think it's worth giving a whole day to see them play for even only 45 minutes. I just know after the show I'll be glad I got there early.

LOL You hafta be careful with the teeny boppers, expecially if they are using Shaggay as a weapon!!!
I have GA and still haven't decided when i'm going to get there or anything. I mean if i sleep out and line up to get front i'd have to stay there ALL day that's 10 hours, no food no loo, nuffin! Won't be easy.
As for meeting up, are you a member of Bon Jovi Dowunder?? It's an email list for Aus/NZ fans. They are planing some kind of meeting, if you want to join, the address is:
bonjovidownunder@yahoogroups.com

I hope that's right, i can' give you any details on the meet up cos i'm not even sure where it is myself! LOL anyway hope to see you on the list and maybey at the get together after the show :)
