I would be extremely peeved if I'd booked tickets for that and then found out I'd have to go to Milton Keynes. But I'm not surprised as theres no way Wembley is going to be ready in time. I'll be amazed if the stuff they are building for the olympics is ready on time.

According to BBC news, Twickenham will be the venue. No mention of Milton Keynes?

Yes, its Milton Keynes.

I am not going this time as I was priced out by the cost of the tickets. With moving to a new house and now having a mortgage, the ticket prices just couldnt be justified in our spends.

I have seen them at Milton Keynes, and would be disappointed to pay such a large amount of money to see them there. Plus, did they not charge different amounts for tickets ? I know Gold Circle was the top which is fine, cos they can still have the pit, but what about those people who paid for gold seating ???

Anyway, here is the official info direct from https://www.bonjovi.com

OFFICIAL, CONFIRMED NEWS on BON JOVI: WEMBLEY STADIUM SHOWS
(Thursday, March 30, 2006)
this is the official press release just issued:

BON JOVI - THE SHOW WILL GO ON

US Icons announce alternative venue to hold their June 10th and 11th shows

Just like Wembley only different

London, March 31st, 2006. -- Fans who have bought tickets to see Bon Jovi’s first tour in over 3 years will not be disappointed - they will still get to see one of the world's greatest rock bands live!

Promoters AEG Live have confirmed that the two June dates, originally planned for Wembley Stadium, will now be taking place in the world renowned Milton Keynes National Bowl. After contact with Wembley it is evident that the Stadium will not be ready for the Bon Jovi shows in June. Therefore to ensure that Bon Jovi’s fans are not disappointed, AEG Live And Bon Jovi have decided to move the shows to Milton Keynes.

Bon Jovi's success has been punctuated through the years by numerous sell out shows at The Bowl. It’s therefore only fitting that they should return to UK’s leading outdoor venue which has supported them throughout their career and where they feel right at home.

“Having closed the original Wembley Stadium, it would have been a fitting honor to open the new one," says Jon Bon Jovi. "However, the most important element was always the live concerts themselves. So while the location may have changed, the celebration will remain the same. Thank you to our fans - for your loyalty and your patience. We'll see you for two great nights of rock 'n' roll at Milton Keynes."

The HAVE A NICE DAY tour is the band's first in 3 years. The European leg will kick off in on May 13th in Germany moving onto Ireland and then Holland - with the final stages here in the UK. Joining them on tour are Canadian rock band Nickelback who have stormed the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

THE FULL UK DATES are as follows:
* June 3rd 2006 - Hampden Park Stadium, Glasgow
* June 4th 2006 - City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester
* June 7th 2006 - Ricoh Arena, Coventry
* June 9th 2006 - The Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
* June 10th 2006 – The Bowl, Milton Keynes
* June 11th 2006 - The Bowl, Milton Keynes

Tickets are available from the 24-Hour hotline: 0870 405 0448 or online @ https://www.aeglive.co.uk

All tickets purchased for Wembley are valid for The National Bowl on the respective dates and thus there will be no rebooking required. All customers will be contacted either by email or letter with further information.

in milton with no luck, will be contacting ticketmaster tomorrow and will let you know

I'm hoping we can get a refund. I'm really disappointed they didn't do something at Hyde Park or Twickenham - there's no way we can get to Milton Keynes (would have to get accommodation and a dog sitter so we're starting to talk more £££ than before!).

Hopefully they will contact us. Wonder if we are entitled to a refund for booking fees and postage?

Anyone got any news on whether Robbie Williams gig in September is safe?

I did hear that Rolling Stones concert in August looked OK at the moment so hoping Robbie will be too but with all the delays you can't be sure.

If its cancelled in September cant see him doing a winter gig (it's been said that he doesnt like the cold bless 'im) so prob be next Spring.

Have got all things crossed
