Bon Jovi is waiving his concert fees in order to make a stop in cash-strapped, unemployment-ridden Spain, after initially planning to skip the country for fear that fans wouldn't be willing to shell out for the tickets, which can cost up to €99 (roughly $130) for top seats.
Bon Jovi is waiving his concert fees in order to make a stop in cash-strapped, unemployment-ridden Spain, after initially planning to skip the country for fear that fans wouldn’t be willing to shell out for the tickets, which can cost up to €99 (roughly $130) for top seats.
But the singer said he didn’t want to let fans down. Instead, tickets will be selling for between €18 and €39 — just enough to cover the costs of staging the concert. The decision was hailed as a classy move, at least by those commenting on the El Mundo report about the decision, and the tickets have already sold out.
For Tommy and Gina, right Jon?
