What is the most you would pay for concert tickets for your all time fav?

Well, AC/DC is my all time fav but I didn't pay the $100 they are on sale for now. I could see 5 shows for that much with lesser known bands. I've seen AC/DC twice so if I hadn't seen them before, I'd probably pay it.

is that including all of the ridiculous surcharges that ticketmaster charges?

I'd say no more than 200

BG - $100 for a big-name band is CHEAP!

Have you heard that Phish is getting back together next year and will start off their tour in Virginia in March?

Ugh.. Recently paid $90 for good Luis Miguel tickets for my wife....

For me it was Tool. I think it was about $70. AC/DC would have been the most expensive but they were sold out and all the dang companies that scoop up 80% of the tix for resale already have them up for 3-4 times ticket value. Buncha [censored].. Makes me so mad..

The ticket companies are a pain in the butt! We've been trying to get tickets for the Penn State game this weekend and they seem to have all of the spare tickets and want 3 times face price or more.

If Peter Gabriel ever re-united with Genesis, I would pay $500.

I would also pay $500 or more for a 5 hour Tool concert.

I don't think I could bring myself to pay more than $100 dollars, except if I had the chance for really, really good seats for a Paul McCartney/Ringo Starr show, but it would have to be both of them appearing together.

Bugs - we saw Ringo's All Starr Band in Vegas a few years ago. Tickets were $45 and well worth it. If you ever have a chance to see them, it's a great show.

I just don't like paying all that money for a show, especially when I can see other shows for 1/4 of that. What stinks with the AC/DC tix is that all of them are $100 no matter where you are sitting. It's ridiculous.

In the past year, I've seen:
Iced Earth-$30
Judas Priest/Heaven and [censored]/Motorhead and Testament- $40
Iron Maiden- $40
Airbourne- $10
Reverend Horton Heat/Hank III- $25
Kid Rock/Lynyrd Skynyrd- $23


I'd rather see many concerts throughout the year instead of 1 a year.

Well I know pit tickets for when tool came here auctioned off at 5k a piece

I would definitely pay $45 to see one of Ringo's All Starr shows.

And that my friends is why I don't go to concerts!!

just don't ask him for an autograph...

I like Tool, but not that much.

One would have to be a real tool to spend THAT much on Tool.

I might spend as much as $100 or so for a favorite performer, but it would really depend on the venue. I've passed on some big-names that I would've like to see (Paul McCartney, U2, Peter Gabriel...) because they were playing Key Arena, which is a terrible venue for concerts and pretty much a waste of money (unless you're willing to pay top $$$$$ for main floor seating).

I could get VIP tix to The Who for $175. I wouldn't though!

Ok Comp Guy - the thread is how much would you pay - not how much you could get the tickets for - you need to move on into the brag thread!!!!

I guess I am boycotting the Ticketmaster surcharges that bring the ticket from $88 to $103. GRR

Well, I'll pay no more than face value then! No one is worth more.

Now, ask me about the NE Patriots and there is a different answer!
