Bon Jovi Fans Angry About Ticket Prices
by admin on Nov.05, 2009, under News
FROM WWW.CLASSICROCKMAGAZINE.COM:
Bon Jovi fans are unhappy with what they believe to be extortionate ticket prices for the band’s run of shows at the O2 Arena in London next June.
Just so you know, the standard ticket prices range from £45 to £200.
But the really silly money comes with what are being called ‘Premium Ticket Packages’, which include a guaranteed front row seat, plus such glorious items as a Jon Bon Jovi folding chair which you then take home, dinner backstage – and anyone who’s ever enjoyed the catering experience backstage will tell you how delightful that can be! – and a tour of the backstage area (while trying to avoid irate roadies pushing flight cases).
All of that plus, to be fair, a load of other goodies will set you back… £1,300.
Writing on the band’s official forum, one fan commented: “I am going to stand up for what I believe in and use my earnings to feed my kids rather than lining some fat cat’s pockets.”
Another pointed out: “After writing an album about the world’s problems with the recession the prices are just a mockery.”
However, despite this backlash, tickets are selling so well that two more dates have now been confirmed, on June 22 and 23. That’s 10 nights in all so far, with more possibly to be added.
