I don't get people that are blaming the label for ticket prices...they have no say on this..it's down to the band and the concert promoters.

Labels do not make revenue from live shows unless you have a really, really bad contract, which there is no way Jon would agree to. They can sometimes take a % of merch sales nowadays, but ticket sales is very unusual.

Any band absolutely has a say on ticket prices for tours.
Jon's own Runaway Tours will be the only ones that have a say on the price of their Jovi packages...

I wouldn't mind this if it came from a guy that didn't spout on about the working man and being from a blue collar background.

It stinks and justifying it stinks even more.

But that's the point - these tours and packages with Runaway aren't designed for the working class. just like I can't afford to go on the best ships in the world or go to the Maldives every year (luckily as a perk of my job I have done these things but that wasn't me paying full price for it.)

If the ENTIRE tour at every venue was priced like that, of course I'd be livid. But that's not what the Runaway tours thing is about.

Does Jon even own Runaway tours or is it one of his relatives? Anyone know?

Very simple answer, there are alot of haters out there, you can deny it all you want, but I for one can't go and never had any intention of going because it very expensive, I would rather enjoy going to see them in concert, which BTW tour dates are out, but this place is so crazy sometimes! One minute everyone was raving about the new album when performed live, then once you started hearing the studio versions,,your calling it the worst thing ever! and of course the same old ones who are complaining about his voice, face reality, he is not going to change just to please everyone here, you guys should know that by now, and HE DOES NOT owe anyone here anything, except for just putting out music and performing, if your not happy, then just move on, but complaining over and over is not going to change anything, lets get real here!

Would you bark at Apple or Samsung if they put out a new super premium device that is completely above what iPhone or Galaxy phones are? I wouldn't, if they still sold the iPhone that is in my price range.

There's nothing wrong with Bon Jovi, much like any business, coming up with premium offerings for those who can afford it in addition regular products/services?

They are still putting out the album and the world tour for the masses.

So you see Bon Jovi as a business with a product to sell?

The ceo would be most pleased with your eager consumerism!

Is he starting a fashion brand or what??

Those jeans look awful, even on models. You could probably get better from Costco/ Walmart jeans

That's now how I see it, that's the reality; not exclusive to Bon Jovi in anyway.

According to CBS Sports, league sources report the Bon Jovi frontman is among the suitors interested in the Titans if the team becomes available...

Meanwhile, the rockstar has been putting his money to work in the NFL. On Dec. 7, Bon Jovi announced an undisclosed investment in New York-based On Location Experiences and has even joined the company's board of directors.

Subsequently, On Location agreed to acquire Runaway Tours, a VIP hospitality business for premier music acts created by Bon Jovi.
...

"This is an exciting day for Runaway Tours and for me personally," said Bon Jovi in a prepared statement. "I have a longstanding relationship with the NFL and with [RedBird founder] Gerry Cardinale, and becoming a part of On Location Experiences is a unique opportunity for me to combine my passion for football and my love of music and entertainment to provide fan experiences worthy of the rights holders that will be our partners."

Folding Runaway Tours into On Location allows both companies to provide hospitality and travel services to fans in both the sports and music/entertainment industry.

No, you're looking at things in a very cold and cynical way to suit an opinion that backs up your idol.
