On Wednesday night, Jay and I went to see Bon Jovi in concert in Greenville, SC, at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Although each us have been to more concerts than we can begin to count, neither of us had seen Bon Jovi or been to this particular arena. For those of you thinking of checking out this tour, here is the Bon Jovi Setlist for the 2017 This House Is Not For Sale tour.

Wanted Dead Or Alive
*Livin’ On A Prayer
*We left at the end of “Wanted…” to beat traffic since we had a 3+ hour commute back home but heard “Livin’…” was the final song. We both felt that the concert was one of the better ones that we have seen. Also, we didn’t know any of the new songs as we have almost all of Bon Jovi’s albums, but we did not have the new one before the concert. I really, really, really liked “Knockout” when performed live, though, so we downloaded the new album when we got home.
What We Thought Of Bon Secours Wellness Arena
Bon Secours Wellness Arena is really nice. We sat way up in the nosebleed section on the side but it was still great seats as we could see really well. And we are old enough that we don’t love being down in the crowd anymore. It’s fun when you are young but we have been there, done that. Now we just want to relax and enjoy the show. We got the seats super cheap on a $19.99 sale on Live Nation a few months ago, too, so that was great.
Parking Tip: There is parking in the City of Greenville Garage right next to the arena that is way cheaper than the lots also around the arena. The lots were $20 a piece and the garage was $6. Definitely keep that in mind.
But, What’s The Deal With The Drink Caps?
Bon Secours Wellness Area offered lots of food options like Moe’s, Pizza Hut and Bojangles. I would not recommend the Bavarian Pretzel Stand, though. I bought a pretzel and a water there and they opened the water for me and then kept the lid. I asked for my lid and they refused to give it to me saying that the manager said to “keep all the lids” and they “did not know why.” My husband bought food from Bojangles and this did not happen to him. It was really weird and unsanitary. And how much easier would it be for someone to roofie someone else’s drink? Sheesh.
Since the drink holders on the backs of the chairs in front of us were on the floor {due to the steepness of the seating arrangement} and drinks were prone to falling out of said cup holders, Jay had to hold his drink almost all night since he gave me his lid so that I could still take pictures for the blog. That really stunk. I highly recommend stashing a few drink lids in your purse if you visit this arena. Or go somewhere else if this will really cramp your style.
All in all it was still a great night. Bon Jovi was all kinds of awesome in concert! I really hope that I get to see them again someday soon.

Have You Seen Bon Jovi In Concert?
If so, what did you think? What is your favorite Bon Jovi song? Have you heard the new album? We would love to hear your thoughts on any of this, or anything else you want to chat about, in the comments below.
I saw them on their last tour and they are SOOOO good live. I hope to see them again this time.
Bon Jovi forever! Bon Jovi is one of those bands that will be selling out stadiums when they’re in their 80s. They’re the Rolling Stones of touring 80s bands.
I love, love, LOVE Bon Jovi, but… where was Dead or Alive? I can’t believe they didn’t play that one. I’ve seen them in concert a few times, and when they do that one, I get goosies.
They did that one during the encore. 🙂
You give Bon Jovi a great name and the pictures are amazing. Never been a big fan of is but the playlist has so many sons I grew up with. Thanks for the parking and ticket hints.
I have yet to see him but two of my close friends see him every single time he’s in town so i get to hear all about it.
Seems like you guys had a great time! I don’t know much about Bon Jovi but I have heard that a Bon Jovi concert is like no other.
My friend just got tickets for one of his upcoming concerts for her birthday and I am so jealous! I have always wanted to see Bon Jovi in concert. His son attended college right by my house, but he’s never played a concert in our area 🙁
I would love toe see BonJovi again. I have been a fan of theirs for … gah, 25 years or more. Love that they are still rocking.
One of our friends just saw Bon Jovi in concert. They said he had so much energy and that it was a great concert.
It’s so cool that you got to see Bon Jovi. The setlist looked great. I’d be pretty excited to see it live!
Bon jobi is forever sexy. That would be so great to go to a concert
So strange about the guy and the lids gate but bon jovi are cool. My aunty loves them!
I never heard that he has a new album! This sounds amazing! I miss him in concerts!
This is amazing! I miss him in concerts! I can’t wait for his new album!
What a coincidence – we have good friends who live in Greenville, SC.
Bon Jovi still looks like he is in great shape and I am glad you enjoyed his event.
I would love to see Bon Jovi in concert. I bet you had an amazing time. This is a great set list.
That sounds like so much fun. My husband would love to join me. I need to see if they are coming to my neck of the woods on this tour.
Sounds like a good concert. Glad you still had fun even with the water incident.
I hate that we were not able to catch Bon Jovi on this tour. He was not playing nearby. Maybe next time!
I have always been a huge Bon Jovi fan! I love that this set list is a good mix of new stuff and his classics.
I will be honest Bon Jovi is before my time to be honest. I know they are a great rock band and I know these concerts will sell out!
I love the songs of Bon Jovi when i am still young. Until now i still love his songs. i remember when i am still a teenager. it is good to reminisce.
I’ve always wanted to go to a fun concert like this. I’ll have to leave the kids behind and go this year!
Sadly I keep having near misses. I haven’t seen them live yet, despite spending tons of time in Atlantic City where they play often.
