Bon Jovi: The Price of Tickets

 More from the make a (King of the) mountain out a molehill files:


(RTTNews) - Bon Jovi is speaking out against accusations that the band is overcharging fans for their residency at London's O2 Arena. In a recent statement to the Daily Mirror, Jon Bon Jovi claims the top priced $2,000 ticket package is just one option and that fans can buy tickets at much lower prices.

"Those tickets are a couple of special package tickets," he said. "I don't really know what they are, they could be anything. It may be that you get everything and it may be 20 tickets. But it ain't the front row and it ain't the front section. It's certainly not gipping (conning) anyone else out of anything."

The band started their 12-date run earlier this week with a performance on the roof of the O2 Arena. Assisted by a team of climbing experts, the band ascended to the building's highest point and offered up renditions of "We Weren't Born To Follow," "Superman Tonight," You Give Love A Bad Name" and "It's My Life."

The performance was projected onto screens located throughout the arena's outer concourse.

If you believe that Jon doesn't know what ticket prices are I have a bridge to sell you:

It's over 100 years old but still is usable.

Also Bon Jovi waved the service fees on all tickets today for the rest of the month.  But you know you have to buy the tickets now, not when they went on sale, like 6 months ago.
