bon jovi TOURS IN DECEMBER yay!

 

The missus has just organised to get her & my daughter tickets through a contact before they go on sale to the public.

The prices are $110, $150, $200 & $300 and she has elected for the $200 tickets.

I am now broke

i knocked back fan club tickets at $US310 cos they werre about 40 fucking rows back.

coulda got really good tickets, but who woulda known the stupid block layout.

 

knwo heaps of people that was spent $000's gettign "circle tickets" right up the front.

Literally front row was $2000, and work your way back from there/

Insane ticket prices and I feel for the fans shelling out big bucks.....

or what about the fans like me who refuse to shell out the big bucks and miss out.

Well I feel for you too, but like Sir Mick said "you can't always get what you want...."

 

I would never pay that sort of money to see ANY band! The most I've ever paid was about $130 for Foreigner front row with Hansen, Pilson & Bonham.

i would likely pay $300 for a circle ticket, but as 95% of them are being sold as packages the cheapest circle ticket was around $800+.

 

fuck that for a joke, and i refuse to pay $300 to sit 40 rows back, $200 to sit up in the stands, or $100 to sit in the nose bleeds.

 

As much as i'd love to go and see a show or two, i think i may save my money this time round.

Based on the general feeling on their ticket prices I wouldn't be suprised if some cheaper seats pop up closer to the show.

that's what i initially thought, but these packages have been selling out everywehere they have been put up for sale (fan club presales, showbiz,, and others i didn;t know about).

 

i think cos there is only 4 shows, people are buying them no matter what the price.

i know someone that spent $4000 on tickets, people that are taking out loans, people that are getting another credit card..

I guess if you love a band so much you don't care but for myself no way,the prices are just insane and a rip off.I'm glad i saw them on their first two Australian tours.

Then there are a few who score premium tix through thier contacts & mates for free. This is gonna be a great tour nevertheless

Holy macarone, BJ is taking the piss these days. $200-300 for a ticket. The guy is insane......no hang on a minute....totally sane. No wonder they are so mega rich, fleecing their loyal fans like that.

 

I had for about 30 seconds considered going to see them in London at the O2 until I realised it would have cost about £250 for me and the wife. F ridiculous.

 

I remember seeing them at Hammy Odeon (at their prime) on the Slippery tour for about £15........which if you inflate up to today's costs would be about £30 quid (less than $60 Aussie).

 

Anything more than that is a rip off. Plain and simple.

 

Cheers

Mate, I gotta agree. I guess it comes down to your prorities - and more importantly your financial status - but I think I'd maybe convince myself to drop something like $150 on a band like Treat, Cauterize, Danger Danger, Harem Scarem or the like, but that'd be the absolute peak for me. When you start talking over $100 to see a band you're talking about some serious coin, imo.

The missus got her seats today and they are virtually in the centre circle of the ground.

[Guest HeavyMetalMerchant]

$2000 tickets that pretty wild. I heard that Jon Bon Jovi didn't know about these? I think Bon Jovi now have new management?

[Dave]

bon jovi TOURS IN DECEMBER yay!

I nearly choked on my hotdog today......The missus told me she tried to get the $300 tickets but they had already sold out of them.

I said to her $200 x 2 is bad enough and if it had of been $300 x 2, the shit would have hit the fan big time !!!!

Get this.....I said to her you don't even like music much and our daughter knows about 2 songs they sing and the only reason you are really going is just to see him {Jon } and she goes "That's right", the closer the better !!!!

 

God give me strength.....no wonder the man drinks

No offence to any female here, but it's my experience that females have very strange concert-attending habits. Love my wifey, but the amount of concerts she goes to - paying hundreds more dollars than I ever would on a band I adore - for an artist that she only knows a few songs of... well, it's just craziness! Oh well, good on 'em, though. They always seem to have a great time.
