Bon Jovi waives concert fees in Spain
Jon Bon Jovi and his bandmates have opted to waive the fee
for their upcoming concert in Madrid, Spain in order to lower the cost of
admission for fans weathering the country's deep economic crisis.
According to a rep for the band, tickets for Bon Jovi's June
show in Madrid now range from 18 euros (roughly $23) to 39 euros, lower than
tickets to their U.K. gigs.
Entry to those shows starts at the equivalent of 14 euros,
and goes all the way up to what would amount to about 99 euros for the best
seats, the BBC reports.
Going without a performance fee means the group won't make
any money from the show, but with the fee waived the tickets are essentially
being offered at a "precio amigos" rate, or the friends and family
rate.
"They wanted everyone to come to the show, despite the
recession," Bon Jovi's rep said. "They are bringing the whole show
and new production – no corners cut."
