Tickets on pre-sale today.
Floor seating £75- £100.
That price is ridiculous .
Its all seated .
No gold circle.
You can't guarantee getting a good spot in the front row.
It's in London so unless you live there you have to pay stupid prices for a hotel.
If you want to drive they are charging £20 to park your car.

Who the hell do these promoters think they are, charging prices like that. Thing about these big arenas is the sound is often crap, too far from the band and you can't see a thing yet you get charged the earth for the priviledge. A week on Sunday I'm going to see 3 bands that have been around a damn sight longer than Bon Jovi, all on the same bill... each of them a legend. Less than £35 a ticket. Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and Styx. Same thing later in the year with Alice Cooper, Motorhead and Joan Jett - £32 a ticket.

I don't mind paying silly prices to see Bon Jovi, but this is all wrong.
The extras would cost you an arm and a leg so they could go easy on the ticket prices.

I don't want to sit down but if that is the only option fair enough it's Bon Jovi .
You have no guarantee of been able to see anything unless you are lucky enough to get front row seats, and then there could be blind spots its a new venue so no-one knows.
It is a London venue quite out of the way and no times for the event so are you going to even be able to get back to central London by public transport or would you need a cab.
£20 TO PARK YOUR CAR?
Add to that the costs of getting to London and the hotel costs plus all the other costs of a day out in London - food/drink/transport.
This is the only European gig they are playing this year, no-one knows if the venue will be any good soundwise and they are charging this kind of money.
It will sell out in minutes once on general sale - the venue only holds 23000 .
Last year a sweatshirt was costing £80, lord knows what these muppets will charge.
