Is A Bon Jovi Show Worth $2,000?
If there’s money to be made in the music business these days, it’s in live performances, and if rock stars are going to keep up on payments for their limos and private jets, they need to be prepared to strut their stuff on stage. Tickets have just gone on sale for Bon Jovi’s ten night residency at London’s O2 Arena, and it seems Jon and the boys have a few luxury vehicles to pay for. While most fans will content themselves with £45 ($75) seats, the most avid fans are being asked to dig through the fluff in their pockets and sofa cushions to find £1,300 ($2,127) for so-called circleside seats. Circleside seats come with a bunch of added goodies, including VIP parking, a backstage tour and dinner, and there are bound to be some who feel that this is good value for money. But with Britain still in the grip of the recession, many UK fans are less than happy about the cost, and have taken to the internet to voice their dissatisfaction. Whether the situation impacts sales of the newly released album The Circle remains to be seen, but given the fervency of Bon Jovi fans, it’s unlikely that this little spat over money will cause any lasting damage.
