Well, if you get a stomach virus and can't go, make sure you call me--I'll take the ticket off your hands.

Have fun!

Oh...I wish I were going with you!! You have great seats!!

I took my 10 y/o DS a couple months ago when they were performing at the Palace & we had the very last row ~ up against the back wall. They looked like a speck of salt on stage from where our seats were. During about the 3 song, a Palace employee approached me & asked if we'd like to move up. DUH???!!! Yes, thank you I said. We ended up 8 rows from the stage!!! I could see the sweat flying off Bon Jovi's head while he was tossing his head about during his songs! We had a great time. My kids only want to hear Bon Jovi now! My 4 y/o requested some BJ CD's for Christmas! He got them too. So instead of him singing "The wheels on the bus", like normal kids his age, my 4 y/o DS sings "Living on a Prayer!" What a kid!

Have a great time!!! You're so lucky!! I want to go again!

Have a nice day!

Have a great time! Bon Jovi will be in Tampa in 2 weeks. I didn't get tickets because I couldn't get good seats but I am going to try and win some over the radio this weekend.

Have a great time! Concerts are a bit too pricey for me nowadays but I know that seeing Bon Jovi would have been a blast.

A nurse I work with is going to this concert as well. She saw them first go round too!

Thanks for the well wishes guys!!! We usually have fan club seats, which are in the 1st 10 rows on the floor...In Philly (Dec 2 & 3) we were 2nd row--which was incredible!!!! I have awesome pictures!!!! Here's a link if you would like to see.... http://photobucket.com/albums/d175/wvjovifan/
I'll update you tomorrow on the show!!!

I have heard that Ticketmaster releases seats the same day of the show. Congrats!! I hope you have a good time.

I've never been a huge Bon Jovi fan but I still have to say that the lead singer is so hot. My, he just keeps getting better looking..

I'm so jealous. My friend (concert buddy) went to see Bon Jovi in Philly too but I was on a cruise when they bought the tickets and she didn't want to wait and miss out on great seats. I've seen them before. They are pretty awesome in concert.

Brilliant pictures

I have to wait until June to see them here in the UK

Have a great time!

I promised DD7 that I would take her this time around, but their local stop fell smack dab in the middle of our surprise trip to Disney. DD was so mad when tickets went on sale, and I had some lame excuse about why we weren't going. Thankfully, she's forgiven me now that she knows the real reason for no concert this year. We'll have to catch them next time around...the boys definitely put on a great show!

wvjovifan ~ your photos were absolutely delicious (for lack of a better word!) How did you get in for sound check???

He wore those same great copper pants for the Detroit concert. They are soooo cool ~ with glitter on them.

Oh, I really really want to see them again!

 

[hmgolden]

Have fun! Love your pictures from Philly btw. We were there for the Dec. 3rd concert, but we were waaaaaaay far away. They put on a great concert

Bad thread...I'm trying to keep my mind off it...I have 2 days to wait til the Atlantic City show. I somehow can't think of anything else!!

Please either post a review or pm me about how the show was. I was just reading on the BJ message boards that Jon was really sick at the Mohegan last night and he told the crowd his doctor advised him to cancel. So I'm just slightly concerned. Just...slightly.

Have a great time and congrats on scoring the tickets! I've always heard that Ticketmaster releases some last minute seats, but I would never have the patience to wait.

The sound check was part of the fan club event! We got tickets for both shows at MSG...we were 4th row the 1st night and 8th row the 2nd night.
The first afternoon we attended a private luncheon at MSG hosted by Mrs B,
Jon's Mom who runs the fan club. They had an auction & a raffle of autographed stuff from previous tours. At 5:30 we were ushered into the arena and it was just us 300 fans and the band!!!! Just like a private show! Jon interacted with the crowd and we got to select a few songs for the concert that night! It was awesome!!!!

How funny it was to see this post today as I sit at work with my "Bon Jovi Hangover". I was at the show last night at Mohegan Sun. I got a ticket at the last minute on e-bay at about 5pm last night. I hadn't gotten tickets when they went on sale because I had gone to the show in November and just came home from a Hawaii trip so money was a little tight. I knew there was another Mohegan show coming up so I went on ebay to see what the tickets were going for. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was that same night. My Bon Jovi buddy is 8 months pregnant with twins so I knew I was on my own. I decided to be brave and went alone. I am so glad I did. It was much better than staying home to watch American Idol.

Do you post on the backstage website? I really miss being able to go on that board. When it went members only I was so sad.

Jon was pretty sick last night. I don't think you would have noticed if you weren't a big fan who had seen lots of shows. He sounded ok but wasn't jumping around quite so much and he wasn't talking so much if you know what I mean. I did notice that he stayed out of the pits and the show was a little shorter I think. He also was chewing gum and kept getting a drink. More so than I've noticed before. At the end he did say that his doctor told him to cancel. Still a really great show. I was sad they didn't play Wild in the Streets though. I had seen it on some of the recent set lists and was hoping it would be on this one. That is one of my favorites and I haven't heard that live in years.

What did everyone else have to say about the show on the other boards?
