Win tickets to Bon Jovi
It takes a lot of cajones to sing, “I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all,” every night, but if anything, Jon Bon Jovi might be underselling himself. In a career that spans over 30 years, Bon Jovi has had chart topping albums in four different decades, sold over 130 million records worldwide and performed some 2,900 concerts in more than 50 countries. He and his band were the first Western group officially allowed to perform in the Soviet Union, and their September 14 concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena will be the first time Mainland fans will be able to sing along to hits from ‘Livin on a Prayer’ to ‘It’s My Life’ live. Oh, and over the last five years, they have been named the top touring act in the world four times, with 2.6 million tickets sold in 2013 during their last world tour. The New Jersey group may just be hitting its stride. We're giving away a pair of tickets through our newsletter on Thursday . Just answer the trivia question and e-mail your answer to win@urbanatomy.com for your chance to win.
