Bon Jovi at Rogers Arena, Win Tickets
byIn 1995 I was in France on a school trip and I stayed with a girl who just happened to be the biggest Bon Jovi fanatic that I had met to date. Posters, t-shirts, branded novelty items, and busting out random lyrics at any time of day.
Ten years later, I met a remarkable woman (who would become my sister in law) and I think her Bon Jovi fandom rivaled that of my French friend (minus the lyrics and novelty items). It was in these moments that realized the timeless draw of this group and its dedicated global fan-base.
Bon Jovi will be coming to Rogers Arena for two shows this spring (March 25 and 26) and tickets are currently on sale.
I also have a pair of tickets to give away, here’s how you can enter to win:
I will draw one winner at random from all contest entries at 9:00am this Friday March 11, 2011. The winner will attend the show March 26, 2011.
Update The winner is Caroline (@carolinecalvert) – congratulations!
Update Caroline sent me some photos from the Bon Jovi concert.
It’s always nice to hear back from contest winners when they have enjoyed their prizes and I’m glad Caroline had such a good time.

That’s an easy question: Wanted Dead or Alive…loved that song since I was in elementary school!
“Always” is my favourite!
Fave Bon Jovi song ever is Wanted Dead or Alive . . . it was my grade 10 anthem, and whenever I hear it still, I have to sing it at the top of my lungs!!

Saw them in 1998 and touched Jon when he came off stage. I didn’t wash my hand for 2 days.
Wanted – Dead or Alive is my fav.
I’ve been trying to win tickets to this for years!

Without a doubt my all-time favorite Bon Jovi song is Livin’ on a Prayer!!

Awesome idea Rebecca. Cool to see everyone’s faves. Mine are:
Classic Bon Jovi fave: “Let It Rock” – Slippery When Wet
Modern fave: “Shot Through The Heart” – Bon Jovi (self titled)
These Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shot Through the Heart….SO much fun to belt out at the top of your lungs!
Living on a Prayer!
Ooops….mine are both Classics! LOL!
Bed of Roses in my favourite

It’s a hot night, the natives are restless, we’re sweating by the light of the moon… I stepped into the twilight zone. And she left my heart with vertigo’
‘One Wild Night’, no question about it. I was the biggest Bon Jovi fan as a teenager, had all the albums and still, shamefully enough, have more than a few tracks on my iPod. Such a huge fan of the Jovi.
Wanted: Dead or Alive is the best Bon Jovi song!! It’s the song that I start singing when I’m bored 🙂
Livin on a Prayer or Always
My favorite BJ song is Livin’ on a prayer!!!!! 🙂
Dead or Alive!
living on a prayer!!
Wanted Dead or Alive. I’ve seen a million faces, and I rocked them all!
Bad Medicine!
“Wanted dead or alive” or “always” are my fav’s. Would love to treat my hubby to this concert!
Living on a prayer for sure!
Wanted Dead or Alive
Wanted dead or alive!
Livin on a prayer of course. I love that song!
Oh what a great song… I was a HUGE fan in high school.. I had a binder with all their pictures… I drew the band (sketch) and sent it to them… I was in “love”…. Then when I was 21 (a long while back) i saw Jon himself walking in Pacific center.. and i froze… my legs did not move he walked past me gave me a smile and kept on walking… the biggest regret of my life not telling him how much I loved his music and saying hello…. 🙂
Of course Livin’ on a Prayer.
When I was in Grade 8, I asked the hair dresser to cut my hair like Jon Bon Jovi’s! I even brought in a teen mag to show her. It looked like a mop, but I loved it!!!
Tommy used to work on the docks, union men on strike, he’s down on his luck … it’s tough.
Living on a Prayer #ftw
oh and my favorite song is Wanted Dead or Alive… it was also the first cassette I ever bought… LOL
“Wanted dead or aliveâ€

Favorite song would be I’ll Be There For You
Livin’ on a prayer!! Also the best Karaoke song!!

Takin it back to the basics. Let’s hear Runaway!!

It’s My Life and Livin’ on a Prayer. JBJ doesn’t look much older than he did back in the late 80s. He’s timeless.

Earliest memory: Age 5, rocking out in the backseat of my parents Oldsmobile with my older siblings, en-route to a camping trip to Harrison Hot Springs.
Most recent memory: Age 29, rocking out to the cover band playing this song at a bar in Coquitlam, last Saturday!

“It’s my life!” I play it like crazy in every single one if my birthdays!
Hmmmm…Livin on a Prayer’s my singalong fave, but Bad Medicine’s pretty rad too.
