(antiMusic) Here is part of the official announcement about the Bon Jovi tour (minus most of the hype and an outright lie): "We're starting in New Jersey and then taking it to the world," Jon Bon Jovi proclaimed on stage Thursday night at the grand opening of The Prudential Center in his home state of New Jersey. With that, the band tore into concert that marked the first of 10 concerts at the venue and the surprise launch of Bon Jovi's Lost Highway World Tour. Concerts in more than 10 countries have already been confirmed including Canada, the U.S., Japan, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, Austria and counting. Tickets for U.S. dates will go on sale on beginning Saturday, November 3rd, with additional markets and dates to follow in the coming weeks.
The PR announcement claimed that the over priced tickets for the 10-night run at the Prudential Center were sold out but eFlux reported today that "Bon Jovi's 10-night engagement at the Prudential Center continues Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and Nov. 1, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10. Tickets are still available, ranging from $49.50 to $303. " A quick check at Ticketmaster was able to turn up tickets as well.
