$90ish to see Springsteen the day after his birthday in KC a few years ago, taping it and getting away with it = priceless
 
 aside from that I haven't paid more than $70 i think.

$125 to a scalper to see Pearl Jam at Constitution Hall in 1998.  I had always missed out on their ticket lotteries and really wanted to see them.  Great seats, great show.

The most I've ever paid was for this show also - $150 for third row in the Loge. Amazing show.

Festivals excluded...Peter Gabriel, I think $100'ish face+fees the first time and close to $150 face+fees the second.  Don't believe in supporting scalpers, so that's the max for me.

$400 give or take $50 three times in the past year.  (Just saw 'em Friday night.)  WOW!  If they weren't in L.A. & Vancouver for the last 2 shows, I'd go RIGHT NOW.  60 year olds aren't supposed to rock like that.  They're really not.

coachella tickets were $70/day in 04.
 i wasted $80 on white stripes NYE tickets (2003) and walked out before they even played.
 
 but for a normal day of the year, the most i've paid for a ticket, i think, was ~$60 for roger waters at nissan in 2000.  i don't forsee myself paying to go to anything at nissan again.
 
 i think i might have paid more than $60 for the RH tickets for this year because of getting jacked with the exchange rates and such, but i am not 100% sure..

$85 for a Pink Floyd ticket in 1994 or 95. Completely wasted on me since I only knew the big songs and did not have a freak out when the pigs inflated.

as a big Get Up Kids fan, do you know why "impossible outcomes" never came out on an LP?  it's my favorite song by them (excepting "dottie", maybe), but it's stuck on that "eudora" comp they put out ... what were they thinking not giving that song a proper release?

I think Larry Graham and Prince are buddies. Both are members of Jehovah's Witnesses.

spent $300 per ticket, two tickets, to see radiohead june 2, 2006 at the tower theater in philly.
 
 well worth it. especially at a venue that small when they were experimenting with new songs theyve been working on in the studio for over a year, but still have not yet officially released.

$300 is too much for radiohead for me still.
 that being said i did go to 4 shows on the tour and had seats within 20 rows to all of them.
 
 unless it was some sort of special show, i don't think i'd pay $100 for radiohead.
 
 but i don't think radiohead are likely to charge that much.  their prices are relatively low compared to what a lot of other bands are charging/what they really could charge.
 
 i guess my real complaint is that starting with the 2001 touring they just didn't have as many dates per tour as they used to/could have.
