Bon Jovi Nominated For Top Tour, Top Draw at Billboard Awards

 - Bon Jovi are among the finalists for the 2011 Billboard Touring Awards, joining Take That and U2 as finalists for both Top Tour and Top Draw Awards. The awards show will take place November 10 at the Roosevelt Hotel ballroom in New York City. The awards are primarily based on box office numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

Bon Jovi's Circle tour was massively successful for the band, grossing close to $30 million and selling over a quarter million tickets this year alone. The Greatest Hits tour is the highest grossing and highest attended of the band's career and among the top 10 highest grossing tours of all time.
The Billboard Touring Awards culminates the two-day Billboard Touring Conference, presented by ShowClix, a conference which unites today's top touring professionals to discuss the current state of the industry. In addition to the awards ceremony, this event includes provocative panels, productive roundtables and networking opportunities with touring industry power players and decision makers
