Here here Ydde. £45/£50 for Journey, Whitesnake and Thunder on one night. That's a flipping bargain for the many folks like me who are likely to love at least 2 or these 3 bands (and I love all 3 of them to differing degrees).

Compared to Bon Jovi tickets at £75+ just for them, with no indications of who will be supporting them this is a fantastic deal. I'll be getting tickets straight away for sure.

Can't wait! Great line up.

Lukather should bring Schon over as a support act :) They could share a band, job's a good un !!

I doubt his antic's will dilute attendance in the UK for most of the reasons above.

I was a massive Journey fan, even travelling to the US twice just to see them, and on the first UK tour seeing most dates.

This tour I'm just doing Manchester (local) and Notts (for a piss up with mates) mainly because the last tour was so lack lustre. The lighting was bobbins and the set list was too focused on the crap (IMHO) last cd.

In fact I'm more interested in seeing Elsie (despite his known vocal issues) and Thunder.

Now if Schon did a solo tour that would be different. I would be well up for that.

there's not too many of us journey fans in australia

i find it funny the poms having a whine about paying gbp45 (a$70) for journey, w/snake and thunder. a club show by one international band is at least that much here.

Are we overestimating the number of fans ,outside of the US at least, who are even aware of all this?

A lot of Journey fans probably don't have the internet yet LOL.

They're on a double bill with Deep Purple out here and I know nobody who would be aware of Neal Schlong's antics and , even if they were, I doubt anybody would care.

One interesting thing I've noted amongst friends is that most who are going mainly to see Deep Purple can't stand Journey and vice versa.

Yes guilty as charges. It was talked about on TMZ so I had to... Sort of like a train wreck

Apparently not only watched it (repeatedly) but also took notes.

JOURNEY won't have to worry, BRITISH music fans aren't that stupid/pathetic....

If we did that with any media star what the hell would we be doing with our time LOL

Because a few around here have stated that they won't even listen to Neal's new solo album because of events in his private life. It's just laughable that some people would think like that.

How many members of this board will make up the <>10,000 capacities of most of those venues ?

Re: Journey worried tour will bomb?

Snake65 — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 03:27:54 +1100

I will just focus my attention on other band members next time they are here. In the video or on TV news shows seeing him kiss his new wife has the same yuck factor as when MJ kissed Lisa Marie

The idea that Neal's personal life should affect ticket sales is ridiculous. All the philandering and sexual shenanigans of the clergy (pick your denomination) hasn't stopped people from attending church. Why should this be different?

Journey are apparently concerned that the kick back from the moral majorty on this board will result in poor ticket sales for their 2013 tour, as Brits boycott the tour due to Neal Schon's trouser antics!

Discuss.........
