Bon Jovi fans have expressed their outrage over the 'ludicrous' ticket prices for their O2 Arena residency next June.
While general admission prices start at a reasonably palatable £45, platinum tickets in the pit cost a whopping £1,299.97.
The New York band, whose latest album 'The Circle' ironically tackles the recession, play 14 nights at the venue kicking off on June 7.
An angry fan wrote on their official website wrote: "The prices of the tickets are ludicrous. You really let us down this time, guys."
Another wrote: "Writing an album about the world problems with recession, then doing what they've done could lose a lot of respect. The prices are just a mockery."
Despite the lofty prices, tickets for the shows were selling at a rate of 18 per second over the weekend.

- Saw Bon Jovi years ago for £4.50 face value - Certainly wouldn't pay £45.00 now - Save you money - Take a chance go see a new band that could do with some support!
- Actually, the whole venue is seated, there are no general admission tickets. Agree that it is a rip-off though!
- Go see the Pet Shop Boys at the 02 better show and reasonably priced
- Have been a fan from the start, seen then loads of times and my first ticket cost me £15. What happened boys? We put you where you are today. Don't forget that! We can't afford those prices.
- I agree, I have been a fan for 24 years or so and have been to as many of their concerts as I could.. Bon Jovi you have let your fans down. People simply cannot afford such high prices. Have you forgot how you got where you are today.
