Norman Jean RoyBon Jovi fans, get your credit cards ready: tickets go on sale tomorrow for a tour in support of their upcoming album, This House Is Not for Sale.
Jon made the announcement on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, when he first confessed that he didn’t miss touring because it’s “difficult.” But then said he and the guys are having so much fun playing their new material, they’re going back out.
“…This weekend, we played that album in its entirety and we’re gonna do a couple more, and I looked around and I saw the guys happier than they’ve ever been,” Jon told Ellen. “And I was happy and the audience was into it, so I said, ‘OK it’s time.'”
The tour will start in February; the album will be out in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, if just buying a ticket to the show isn’t enough for you, how’d you like to be a member of the band for a day? Jon has teamed up with the online fundraising platform Omaze to offer fans a chance to win a dream prize: you and a guest get to hang out and eat with the band, stay at their hotel, sing at a soundcheck, get VIP seats, bring Jon a cup of tea onstage, and attend the afterparty. You’ll also get a signed guitar.
You can enter for as little as 10 bucks, with all the money going to Jon’s charity, the Soul Foundation, which works to end poverty and homelessness. The more money you donate, the more chances you’ll have to win, plus you can score some cool merchandise like t-shirts, autographed sheet music, custom guitar picks and more. Visit Omaze.com/JBJ to get in on the action.
