Title: What is the most you ever spent to attend a concert and why!?
Post by: hutch on July 31, 2024, 06:50:04 pm
$487 for one ticket 4th row center….Joaquin Sabina cause it’s now or never…this is his last tour…my favorite lyricist…bucket list..

Can’t believe there is no meet and greet but I can believe it cause dude doesn’t do that shit; he rips you off straight up.

I think my previous record was many years ago $199

I try to justify this insanity by arguing to myself that I used money from my “bonus” fund

Oh man, I think like maybe $150 for the most recent Pavement reunion, but I figured it was only about $75 given the last time I saw them was at the Freefest and it didn't cost a dime.  I pretty much choke spending anything over $60!

At the Warner theatre?

Yeah.  Got them on Stubhub or something.  Pretty good seats too...maybe 6 rows back or so.

Correct answer. $185 for N2, $210 for N3.

Tho I think I probably dropped $250 for front row on The Wall tour.

I remember when I paid $85 face value to see Shane and the pouges at the 9:30
That seemed like an absolutely insane amount at the time
Now that’s middle of the road price

I think I spent $200-300 for a front row to see Tom waits in Chicago around 2000
Totally worth it

Saw the Pogues (with Shane) at the Club for $20. Wonder if it was the same show?

Going in reverse, I once sold my Phoenix ticket for their RnR Hotel show for $40, making a tidy profit. Still regret it to this day. Wish I had gone to the show.

25 years later that’s the equivalent of like $400-$500 not to mention any travel costs

$200-ish.  The upcoming Pearl Jam show in Baltimore was $200 after fees.  I think face was $160.  The Grateful Dead "Fare Thee Well" shows in Chicago 2015 were $200 each 3 nights in a row.  I had to buy a hotel package to get them though, so I ended up paying a small fortune for them in the end.  Elton John in Vegas was $192 after fees.   

The cost of hotels is enough to keep me from traveling to shows these days.
