Question
My father is turning 50 in the end of February, and he is the biggest Bon Jovi fan I know. He has every album, knows all the songs by heart and has been to every Bon Jovi consert here in Finland and one in New York. My question is, what would be the easiest and the fastest way to get the band's, of just Jon's autograph for him? As I mentioned, I'm from Finland, so the distance is a problem. I already tried sending email to Island records, but the msg was returned with a note that their mailbox is full. Hope you can help! Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Heidi
It is a bit hard to obtain an autograph that is genuine.unless you can meet the band it is virtually impossible to know if it is genuine.

With their latest batch of concerts coming up it is possible to get a programme with your ticket if you buy certain seats, through the fan Club or certain ticket agencies that sell packages to the concert.Bon jovi are playing Finland in June I think.it is Tampa I believe.i will have to check.

There are  Circle tour programmes on Ebay with the autographs on the front and sellers say the programmes are from the concerts are usually genuine.As the signed programmes are from the Fan club you can be sure that the autographs would be genuine.

the only other way is to find out what hotels the band is staying at and go hang around them.Sometimes it works.

You could try sending a request to the venue in tampa where Bon Jovi are playing .Send it to jon or to the band management.send it with a photo or picture of the band and you may get results.
Is your dad going to the concert in Finland?


Thank for the question.hope it works
