Bon Jovi fans, the exact time to log in to buy tickets for the upcoming North America 2026 Forever Tour has been revealed.
In case you missed it, the legendary rock group are performing four huge nights at Madison Square Garden, New York next July. Jon Bon Jovi and co. will then head to the UK and Ireland for shows in Edinburgh, London, and Dublin.
As predicted, presale quickly sold out, and was described by one fan as a 'feeding frenzy'.
On Reddit, the Bon Jovi fanatic shared: "To get a password and get into the presale, I had to basically join the Bon Jovi fan club and agree to wall-to-wall Bon Jovi marketing on my phone and email.
"I went on Ticketmaster 15 minutes before the sale, and as soon as I got into the queue, I was already about 5,000th in line."
"I did score some mediocre tickets for an eye-popping price, but I am goofy happy about rocking out with the New Jersey Gen X contingent watching their favorite son. Halfway there!"
Another said, "Exact same thing happened to me when trying to score BLACKPINK tickets. Joined the fan club for presale, got in a queue, logged in within seconds, but was still like, 4,000th in line."
So, how can you make sure to get hold of tickets when general sale opens? Find out everything you need to know below.
General sale starts at 10am (EDT) on Friday, October 31 via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
According to fans on Reddit, it's recommended that you log in to your chosen ticketing site 15 minutes before, so that's 9.45am.
Resale tickets are likely to become available via TicketNetwork and SeatGeek.
To avoid ticket scams and ensure a money-back guarantee, always purchase resale tickets through verified sites.
Following the exciting tour announcement, fans have been asking one major question: What about Richie Sambora?
One fan tweeted, "Far enough in advance to convince Richie to come back?"
A second said: "Announce Richie's return, and I'm in."
A third wrote, "Not buying a ticket unless Richie Sambora is with them."
The tweets are in reference to former bandmate Richie Sambora, who left the band in the middle of their 2013 world tour to focus on co-parenting his daughter with ex-wife Heather Locklear.
Sambora was replaced by Bon Jovi’s current guitarist Phil X. There has been widespread speculation that Sambora will reunite with the band for the upcoming tour, but nothing has been confirmed.
The tour announcement comes almost six years after Jon Bon Jovi took a break from the spotlight to focus on his health, following vocal cord surgery.
The set list has not yet been confirmed, but one of their last live performances in 2022 will give fans a good idea of what to expect on the big night.
The Forever Tour will kick off in July 2026 with four nights at Madison Square Garden, New York.
For those of you based in the UK and Ireland, you'll have the chance to be a part of the crowd on August 28 at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park on August 30.
Your last chance to see Bon Jovi live is on September 4 at Wembley Stadium in London (buy UK tickets here). You can find out when they're coming to a city near you below. See you there?
