Bon Jovi To Play New Jersey In October

Bon Jovi to rock new New Jersey arena

05/02/2007 8:08 PM, AP

New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi will be the first act to rock "The Rock," the state's newest arena, officials announced Wednesday.

The band will play several shows at the Prudential Center starting Oct. 26, said Pat Smith, a spokesman for AEG New York/New Jersey, part of Anschutz Entertainment Group, which is booking concerts and special events for the arena. The number of shows has not been determined, he said.

The $365-million arena, which will be home to the New Jersey Devils of the NHL, is under construction in downtown Newark. It can seat 19,500 for concerts.

The band, whose hits include "You Give Love a Bad Name," includes lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, a native of Sayreville.

The arena gets its name from Prudential Financial Inc., the Newark-based financial services and insurance giant whose symbol is the Rock of Gibraltar.

Tickets for Bon Jovi go on sale in mid-June.

Very exciting. Jon mentioned playing 10 dates on AI so I'm guessing those will be at this arena.

10 dates??
Whoa?!?!?!
So let me try and guess who's planning to be at all 10?? :p

Deb or Kathleen the new arena is in Newark.Its going to be near Newark's Penn Station. All I see on the news is that it has a high crime rate and there are alot of shooting.Do any of you know the area cause if I go I may be going alone and wouldn't want to put myself in a bad position.Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

Haa...me perhaps!! I only live 35 minutes from Newark so HELL YEA, I'll be there. I bet all ten dates won't be consecutive. But, if they are that's an easy $1,000 for tickets at a minimum.

Did he say something about a WORLD tour in 2008 ?

I heard this on Idol last night.

I have to wonder, is this gonna be a "regular" priced ticket of $100 or one of these Borgata type deals where tickets run about $300?

I WILL be at one show.
Possibly more, if I have the cash.
