SO WHEN JON Bon Jovi’s brother Michael tweeted about Bon Jovi’s forthcoming tour, saying:

All shows on this tour will have a ticket for every budget… High and low price tickets.

… he must not have been talking about the Irish leg of the tour.

Bon Jovi will bring their Because We Can tour to Slane Castle on 15 June 2013 following a stadium tour of the England and Wales (taking in the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, Villa Park in Birmingham, City Stadium in Cardiff and the Stadium of Light in Sunderland) and then they’ll be back to play at Hampden Park in Glasgow on 3 July.

Tickets for Slane go on sale at 8am on 8 November and are priced at €79.50, with no indication yet from promoters MCD that there will be tickets on sale at higher or lower prices.

The Bon Jovi frontman said at a press conference at Slane Castle earlier that it was “always the goal” of the band to play at the Co. Meath venue.

Tickets for the UK gigs range in price from £12.50 (€15.50) for the budget seats to £125 (€155) for the swanky seats.

UK promoters AEG Live said that the band insisted on ticket prices that would be accessible to all, reports The Mirror.

Traditionally the Slane Castle gigs feature other high profile bands on the lineup, with a festival feel to the day long event, which may explain the higher prices.

Acts also often cite the high costs of bringing a tour across the Irish Sea when commenting on discrepancies between tickets prices in England, Scotland and Wales and prices in Ireland.

  • Jaysus! If Bon Jovi is the headliner, who’ll the support be? Def Leppard and Crystal Swing? Wouldn’t even pay 12.50 for that.

    I’m not a fan, however having seen them live before and being longtime slane attendee I predict bonjovi will be the best craic slane has had in quite a few years! As for the spanner above here commenting on another posters grammar followed by the expected generalization about her music taste…well it says more about you than her…

  • All kudos from Lord Henry disappear in a soulless commercial decision to bank on only the 35-55′s having 80 quid to go see these poodle permed stadium rawwk jocks do their tired old cliched fm friendly big chorused cheese….to think lord Henry used to be considered cool…

  • For a start jon bon jovi’s brother is not called Micheal, his name is Matthew… Bon jovi was the highest rated live band of 2011 and have been selling out stadiums all over the world for the past 25 years and have sold over 130 million albums.. they are more deserving than coldplay/muse and esp KOL who headlined slane before, they are legends and have stood the test of time as one of the greatest rock bands, Bon jovi will always have their critics but they will also have their huge fanbase so come june 15th when im standing diamond circle in slane and look behind at the other 80,000 pleople i will laugh at all the ill hearted comments i had to read over the last few days :)

  • Feck that for prices, you can get three tickets for gigs in the Uk for the price of one in Ireland, thats why I always go over to see gigs and make a little holiday break out of it as well.
