When i first heard that bon jovi were coming to the uk again i have to admit i waanted tickets but after checking the price what d$cks, talk about doing it for the fans what do they want next our blood!, as much as i love bon jovi’s music i’m not paying two hundred pounds for a ticket and also if you actually want meet them, if they are actually there, you have to pay 1,500 pounds for the aftershow!!!! you can meet the barcelona football team for 80 euro’s.

Lets face it anyone who has been in the public eye be it bands, actors etc for so long are bound to lose sight of what we deal with on a day to day bases.
Its not wether your into the music or you think Jon is a “knob” or you would die for the band, it’s about respect for your fans that is at issue.
This is not first time that accusations of money grabbing have been aimed at Bon Jovi anyone remeber Skid Rows shameful treatment at thier hands many years ago.
A reply with regards to the 1000’s of comments about the high cost of the tickets from the band themselves would be nice.
Maybe some cut down shows with less pyros and blowup crap in small venues would give something back to the fans that have put them were they are today.
We all know the dates will sell out so why should they give a stuff, I for one hope they are still like all of us rock fans who care about one another.

Great though they are live £200 is taking the mick – especially when the US shows are $150.

Sure they will be doing the stadiums in 2011, I can wait (mind you, if the prices are similar then, they can shove it)

Bon Jovi is the greatest band in the world. I feel sorry for all you people who think otherwise. You obviously don’t know good music when you hear it. As for their new album. The songs (all of them) are dynamic. As for Gordon Smart, you are the knob. While you sit behind your desk and criticize, Bon Jovi makes music. Would you care to try? I don’t think so. When you have sold over 120 000 000 then you can begin calling them names,until then, shut up!

I’m under pressure to bring my Wife over from Austrlia for a show. And we only saw them last year in Sydney. Bon Jovi will always be a band that will divide opinion but that why we love music and defend our faves to the death.

right…sigh..ive liked em since a wee spotty teenager,d yes there have been blips,bounce and left feels right(wanky).but bon jovi are a great hard rock band.Yes they aint noodly,they aint navel gazey and they sell millions which has always been a bit of a no winner with some rock fans,What they do is write great 3 min catchy pop rock,the chorus sticks in ya head and what they do,they do very well.Ill grant you Jon can be a tosser and yes hell never be Springsteen as much as he tries,and yes Richie is the better singer,but for us fans they do the job,and just in case i also love zeppelin,floyd,muse,metallica,acdc and drive by truckers to name a few.And lets be honest David Bryants perm is a thing of beauty.

I was born exactly the same day as JBJ – 2nd March ‘62 and used to think – what if I had been him and he was me, then I thought “what a knob I am for thinking that”. Glad to see he is just the same, haha

Who cares what some dick from the Sun says?

He’s probably pissed off that he hasn’t got free tickets.

Have seen Jovi many times over the years but they lost me this time. Those ticket prices are nothing short of bloody extortionate!!!!

I thought “residency” was for washed up MOR acts.
