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."

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.

Will Richie Sambora rejoin Bon Jovi?
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."
Fans are hoping Richie Sambora will return to the stage (Getty/Ebet Roberts) 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.
What will the Bon Jovi set list look like?
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.
