I thought Bon Jovi were amazing, but I don’t think I would attend another concert at Anfield.

The ratio of pitch available for general standing was way too small. We were eligible for standing, but if our section had gone down there we would have been crushed. I saw a fight break out (happens) but security took so long to get to them it was ridiculous - especially considering they were pretty much next to it!

Only 1 till on the entire row of snack bars was taking cash, again ridiculous as all of them were open. Why were they only taking cards?

Finally, the sound and accoustics were really bad - in fact completely shocking in parts!

I’ve been to concerts at the Ethiad and Old Trafford Cricket Ground, as well as other outdoor venues and they’ve always handled it so much better.

It’s a shame really, although my Dad really enjoyed himself so that was a good thing
So glad I didn’t go this time from the sound of it.

I don’t know how many Bon Jovi concerts I’ve been to over the last 20 years or so but it’s been every time they’ve been in the UK in that time. This time, I just wasn’t paying the cheapest price for what we assumed would be rubbish setting up in the ‘gods’. We went to a Bon Jovi show at Etihad a good few years ago and we were on the very top/back row and had no idea what song was being played/sung as we could not hear a thing! We walked out half way through the concert and I wasn’t prepared to pay a fortune for a decent ticket at this show.

Although I still love their songs, I think the days of going to see them live are now gone.
