Bon Jovi attack touts

have spoken of their anger at news that tickets for this weekend’s free New York show are being sold for over $1000. The band posted a statement on their official website today, reacting to news that a black market has taken off for the Central Park gig on eBay. The veteran rockers are due to play to 60,000 people on Saturday but their attempt to end the “Lost Highway” world tour on a high seems under threat. In the statement, which has reportedly since been removed, Jon Bon Jovi and co admitted to being “sorely disappointed” by the news.

“There are reports in the media about tickets being scalped for…the free concert. I for one am not surprised, but our organisation is sorely disappointed. “As I said before, ‘No good deed goes unpunished’”, the band commented, before a band spokesman accused ticket touts of being “lowlifes”. “It’s a bad enough thing to suck money out of paid concerts. It takes unmitigated chutzpah to scalp free tickets”, they stated.
