Bon Jovi said he feared full-price tickets would not sell well in Spain
The US rock star Bon Jovi
has revealed that has waived his fee at a concert in Madrid next month,
in light of the country's economic crisis.
The unusually cheap tickets for the gig have already sold out.They were on sale for between 18 (£15; $23) and 39 euros, compared to the equivalent of 76 euros which the average ticket cost for a concert in Manchester, UK next week.
Bon Jovi said he feared many fans would not be able to afford the full price.
The 51-year-old told Spain's El Mundo newspaper that when he was planning this summer's European tour, Madrid had originally been left-off the list of venues over fears that the event might not sell out because of Spain's economic crisis.
But not wanting to let his Spanish fans down, he said he decided that he would perform in Madrid on 27 June for free.
