I was at the show and have to have chats with myself since then to stop myself from crying. I can't believe they did this to my country: no Sofia stage, no catwalk and no decrease in ticket prices like we've seen in other countries... and the final stab...a short show.
ReplyDeleteThe show itself was bland. Jon was doing his job - no more, no less.
We had Fast Track tickets and before we went in we were offered (by members of staff) the opportunity to upgrade to Diamond Circle tickets for 75€ cash (in addition to what we had already paid). What we didn't know was that we had already been downgraded by not having the usual stage. In the meantime Matt has replied to Portuguese fans (in his usual abrupt fashion) that we pay to see the band not the stage. And to be fair, I don't like the Sofia stage but I like discrimination even less and being ripped off. He says it should be about the music. I think in the future they should not bother with fancy stages - as it's all about the music. Of course it's obvious now they wanted the stage in Madrid. They also cut the concert short due to a national strike scheduled for the next day but again, just a poor excuse, as the show could very well have started earlier (we also didn't know who the opening act was until days before the show - we could have done without as it was painful).
It's funny how they're quite happy to exploit those who want to get closer to the band by designing these "special" stages for extra proximity and charge extra, but when it's not there they're still happy to take the same money.
After being a fan for over 20 years this feels like a very bad patch in this "marriage" and feel like asking for the divorce papers. I'm still in shock.
I was there. Arrive there 2 days early to do the Backstage Fan Club queues. It was crazy but everything went ok. Was in the middle of front row @ Diamond Circle. With Jon ahead of me. Made a lot of photos and even 6 HD videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/DolphinPM/videos This was one of the worst Jovi shows I ever went. Was my 25th BJ show and 1st without Richie Sambora. Jon was very awesome with us audience. In "Because We can" we did a coreography with balloons. It was very cool. On Bon jovi official site there are some awesome photos. And even in my "Because We Can video" you can see the ballons. PS: Hope Richie will be back somewhere in the future.
