55.000 tickets. No, it's because of the ticket prices, which are unusually low as I commented here. Tickets for the Bon Jovi concert at the Vicente Calderon stadium in Madrid on June 27 went on sale on March 15. The price of tickets, unusually cheap for a performance of this kind, was between 18 and 39 euros. A month later all the paper was sold. Now, we now know that this 'Friendly Price' met the wishes of Jon Bon Jovi himself, who will be acting in Spain for free.
This was confirmed by the singer himself at elmundo.es. "When we were designing the tour for our latest album, we did a study and found that -due to the economic situation- Spain could not enter the roadmap. However, we did not want to turn our backs to the fans of a country that I love and have treated me so well for 30 years"said Jon, who recently made headlines for criticizing the attitude of the young star Justin Bieber.
Therefore, the music and the stage costs will be assumed by Bon Jovi, with the band receiving no money for acting, and the price of tickets will serve to pay the venue, mounting operators and the rest of the hired staff for the show.
