Recently, LA’s The Place hosted a giveaway for tickets to see a private concert featuring GRAMMY® Award winning artist Bon Jovi at Paramount Studios, presented by MasterCard Priceless Cities Program. MasterCard’s amazing program, Priceless City was developed to deliver unique and exciting experiences to MasterCard cardholders to celebrate what great cities across the globe have to offer.  Los Angeles had now joined New York, Chicago and Miami as another home for the Priceless City stage.

The evening began with VIP guests attending a pre-concert dinner and reception. The atmosphere loomed with excitement and anticipation, as a delicious buffet-style dinner was served. Great drinks and the beautiful Paramount venue complimented dinner.

When dinner ended guests were led down the Paramount Studios lot towards the concert.  The cold night’s air and the drizzling rain would not ruin the night from ecstatic fans.

The private concert gave MasterCard cardholders the chance to experience a musical icon up close and personal.  As the rain picked up, so had everyone’s anticipation for the concert.

Once Bon Jovi hit the stage, the crowd went wild!  Music played, lights flashed and fans danced and sang in the rain to one of the world’s greatest rock bands.

Each song was played with passion and enthusiasm fueled by crowds roaring cheers.  Everyone sang along to Bon Jovi’s famous songs such as “Living on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name“.

Emergency ponchos were given to keep the crowd dry, but the rain seemed the furthest thing on anyone’s mind.  Playing for a little more than an hour, Bon Jovi did an astounding job.  Once the concert ended everyone was thanked again and again for being such passionate concert attendees.

It was a memorable experience bursting with joy and gratitude.  PRICELESS, the perfect word to describe a night in Los Angeles filled with food, friends, laughter and GRAMMY® Award winning artist Bon Jovi.
