Bon Jovi plans stop in Raleigh; we have presale code!

I have to say ... when my contact over at PNC Arena let me know that Bon Jovi was headed to Raleigh for a concert in November, I got a little excited.

Maybe it's my upstate New York roots or the fact that their songs were part of the soundtrack of my high school years ... I suspect there are plenty of other moms out there who feel the same way I do.

Here's what the press release says about it: "Bon Jovi’s return to the road in 2013 launches the latest chapter in an ongoing blockbuster run which has secured their status as the essential live rock band. “BON JOVI Because We Can - The Tour” takes live performance to a whole new level with a constantly evolving stage production that transforms on every song. With over ninety high-speed moving elements, it is a kinetic sculpture of light and video accompanying Bon Jovi on stage as they deliver more than 30 years of nonstop hits." 

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m., Friday, but you can buy them now with this special presale code. The presale code runs from 10 a.m., today, Thursday, Sept. 19, to 10 p.m., tonight, Thursday, Sept. 19. Tickets start at $29.50 plus fees.

And, yes, I will have "Shot Through the Heart" running through my head for the rest of the day.
