During this once-in-a-lifetime event, Jon Bon Jovi & The Kings of Suburbia, a support band consisting of some of the most talented musicians in New Jersey, will perform an exciting collection of your favorite Bon Jovi hits mixed with classic rock & roll songs.

ALL PROCEEDS from the live stream ticket sales will benefit Red Bank's Parker Family Health Center, a volunteer-based facility that provides free primary health care services to low-income and uninsured Monmouth County residents. The clinic logged 11,888 patient visits in 2013, with over 100,000 cumulative visits since the founding. Health care is provided by a network of 250 volunteers who donate 10,000 hours of service annually.

Help make a difference by supporting those in need and watch Jon perform live at this intimate venue, via your computer or mobile device, by purchasing your tickets for the live stream today!

I hope for broadcasting

steageit is a broadcasting. I don't think there will be another since they want 500 Dollars per ticket.

$50**

50$ to stream the show? Is this supposed to be a joke?

But it is Jon and his backing band. I am sure it is totally worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
Ok, at least it is some charity event.

No, it's a $50 donation to the charity for which in return you can see the show. No joke, 100% of that money is for charity.

Yep, the point is to raise money for the Parker Family Health clinic so that's why it's $50. All of it goes to the charity.

It's still a friggin' livestream.

Agreed but the show itself sold out quickly so this is just another way to raise money which that's the goal right to raise as much money as possible?

1. It's for charity so, of course, they should charge money for it, otherwise the people who paid the money attend the show could have stayed home and watched it for free too.
2. It's limited number of tickets so there will be less traffic on the server so the server won't crash or cut out making it a crappy live stream.
3. People are going to gripe no matter what.

There's not a limited number of tickets. It "sold out" when they first went on sale and they added more tickets.

"Proceeds" does not necessarily mean all $50 will go to the charity. Proceeds are the amount of money remaining after production costs are deducted. Jon could be taking a piece of the production costs for all we know.

I just think when you could've bought a ticket to the actual show for $50, that charging $50 to watch a live stream is ridiculous.

The first round of tickets released were for the fan club and they sold out. A few days later was the general sale and it sold out. So it wasn't that they released more tickets.

If the general sale sold out, they added more tickets.

There are currently 398 available, and if that number gets to zero, I bet more will be added again.

Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you were talking about actual show tickets. I wasn't aware that the livestream ever sold out.

Yes, you are right but that's not something unusual.

It's not quite accurate comparison, you need to include transportation costs to the price of ticket. For live stream there aren't additional costs (unless you pay for internet access based on volume of transmitted data). Overall the price is not same. (as someone who studied economics I had to point this out;))

Did my bit by plugging the stream on the Your HHRS News.com New Jersey health blog:

Between this, Jon meeting Mario Carpino, and Richie doing the anti-drug seminar in Toms River, we got a record number of views this summer! ;)
