Bon Jovi - Have A Nice Day Tour 2006

Saturday 10th March 2006, Venue: Milton Keynes Bowl There was a huge sigh of relief in my house on the 31/5/06, the tickets that i had booked for the Bon Jovi gig finally arrived, I booked the tickets back when it was announced that wembley was cancelled (no surprise there!) and extra tickts were being added for the new venue...the "bowl". When i booked the tickets for the venue i also needed to get accommodation sorted aswell, so i started ploughing through the yellow pages to find somewhere, i started at A and it wasn't until i got to W that i got any joy, however the B&B seemed a homely ... more

Well I am an eBay fan, although I had never bought concert tickets online before, I saw the Bon Jovi Tickets online and bid for two tickets week before the concert. I won the 2 tickets for £50, I was well chuffed. I received the tickets in 3 days.

It was the most memorable day of my life. The sun was shining, the fans were singing and England were playing there first round game against Paraguay and won! Milton Keynes bowl was the setting for the greatest live performances I have even seen. The day started with the long drive to the bowl, the "Have a Nice Day" album played 3 or 4 times on the way there from the North East of England. On arrival the car was dumped in the carpark, the shorts were on and the drink was flowing. We watched the England Game on a portable TV in the carpark, there must have been 50 of us there, chanting Bon Jovi ... more
