Well at least you get free Wifi.

Agree. And sorry, but I wouldn't pay for them, not only they're insanelly expensive but he goes out to play some awful covers. If these are for the fans, he should do setlists like the one of the Starland Ballroom in 2009.

He should just do a solo tour in small theatres all over the world with lots of his solo albums songs, that I'd pay for.

If it's just the fan club, it's more likely he'll play some rarer stuff. He played Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart in Vegas and it was just fan club.

Still way too pricey though. Especially since they just did Mexico with 2 shows, all inclusive, 4 nights and it was cheaper!

I don't get the explanation entirely, is that for one acoustic show and a photo opp during the whole weekend or is it a full show with the KOS one day and an acoustic show the next??

[MrNickel]

Do you just get a stock photo that Jon signs or do you get to meet Jon & take a pic ?

For that amount of money, Jon should be tickling your feet and buying you lots of Pizza.

The price sure has gone up since I went to a fan club party in 1998. I think it was $250. It was limited to 300 people if I remember correctly. They fed us an elaborate meal and gave us enough merchandise that it more than made up for the price of the ticket. He played an acoustic show which was fantastic. Jon went around, talked to everyone individually and posed for pictures with everyone individually. I'm glad I had that experience.

You do get a stock photo signed by Jon, but you also get to meet him (for a brief moment) and get your photo taken with him. Ive done 3 trips (2 with photo ops) and the first time was a huge thrill. Then you realize he's just a dude and it's no big deal, lol.

This trip is just an acoustic show - there was no mention of KOS anywhere. The acoustic shows are nice, and you get the odd rarity, but I prefer the energy of a Bon Jovi show.

I'll be in New York earlier that week but will pass on this show. For that amount of money I want more than Jon tickling my feet and pizza, lol.

That actually sounds like a reasonable investment. But ~2000$ for a photo and Wifi?

My dad rewarded me for graduating college with a 4.0 and getting into grad school with that trip. He paid for me and my Aunt to fly to NJ and for me to go to the party. My Aunt had to go because you had to be 25 to rent a car in NJ at the time (which I wasn't). It was the best present I ever got! I sure do miss my dad.
