Doesn't matter really. Half the population of Laois will be at this gig. Slippery When Wet was only released in the midlands last year.

D4 will be full of day trippers in white tshirts and Lee jeans carrying lunch boxes full of egg mayonnaise sandwiches and Capri Suns.

"G'wan Jahnny".

I think that's great. Always wanted to see them live. RDS is much more desirable than Croker, and now we can get additional concerts.

The last time I was at the RDS for a show was Bruce Springsteen in 2012 and prev Bon Jovi he year before. Find the place a little bit run down and in bad need of a refurb esp the Angelsesa stand area. RDS is a great location though but being a full wallet as it's D4 after all

Prob go too this and hoping prices are ok but All concerts seem to be €100+ nowadays

I'd say he'll be 70 for a standing ticket and 90 for pitch 1 standing. Remember Elton John and Fleetwood Mac are both on that week too, and I think EJs second gig clashes.

I saw Killers in the RDS last year with Franz Ferdinand. The set up was good, it was a sunny day and the grassy areas outside the stadium were full of bars and food trucks. Inside the stadium was decent, but I was pitch 1, pitch 2 looked a bit ****. So if you can afford the extra couple of quid it's worth it.

Its tough for Jon to get by on a farmers income ,he has to do a few gigs to make ends meet.
Hope he had a good harvest this year.

€89 will be for GA
GC will be more than that closer to €100 I’d say

Then you will have all the packages and the VIP section at the front on one side of the stage, if the UK set up is anything to go by.

Jeez it really is, I'm a big fan and didn't know until reading your post He had a savage voice, it's but a shell now! See below, his voice is toast...

No, think he only played as a one off for the R&R HOF Induction recently

No, didn't himself and the Mrs support Bad Company in the 3.O2 last year?

BJ are a shadow of their former selves at this stage.

Without Sambora and JBJs hammered voice, this isn't a concert to get you excited.

They are like a BJ tribute band these days.

I know, but I've always missed them.

I'd expect GC to be well over €100. Diamond is absolutely forget it unless you have a gold credit card.

I don’t think we will ever see them like this again but this is Jon and Richie at the best and Richie is needed back Richie Phil x and John shanks together on stage would make a very interesting performance guitar wise

There's a gate on the streets into the RDS which you can see the stage from for free. You always see guards standing there watching

Anyone got any presale codes for this?

He? I know Richie is gone but Bon Jovi are still a band.

For the UK, gold circle is £137.50 and general standing is £83.70.

dragonfly!

If anyone has a presale code going spare could you let me know please?

Sadly, I'd agree. I seen them yonks ago when they were here for the Crush tour (2000/2001?) and they were outstanding.Can't believe Jon's voice has gotten so bad so quickly, it's actually sad looking at him trying to sing

He's really struggling on the vocals there.

It's sad to see, he had a majestic voice. The band there are carrying him big time

PTH2009

Jon might get his voice perfect again for the new tour

He has enough $$$ to hire the best vocal coaches and doctors
