What's the most you've ever spent on a concert / show?
 

I just dropped some major change on Leonard Cohen tickets. Front row, center.

These were straight from the venue through a pre-sale, not even scalped yet, and easily the most $$ I ever dropped on a show. In fact, I think one ticket cost more than I've ever spent on a pair of scalped tickets.

Anyways, tickets were $589 a peice. I don't think I'll regret it, but it is alot of dough for a show.

What about you guys? What's the most you've ever dropped on seats?

I dropped $400 a piece on some White Stripes tickets... well worth the cash as they stopped touring shortly after that show and the concert posters I picked up and had framed are now worth a lot of cash to collectors. It paid for itself and the show was fucking awesome.

Never heard of him.

I spent $100 on a ticket to see Dane Cook. What a waste of money. The joke was on me.

His most famous songs are "Everybody Knows" and the often covered "Hallelujah".

He's featured on alot of movie soundtracks so you may have heard him and just didn't know it. Movies like Pump up the Volume, Natrual Born Killers, and most recently provided the background to the sex scene between Silk Spectre and the Night Owl in Watchmen.

That's cool. I think that is how this will be. Leonard's getting older and I can't see him doing much touring after this. Usually he just plays the odd festival here or there, and it's usually not in this country.

I've been a huge fan for years, a friend of mine already caught him in europe where she paid 90 Euros for a festival and said he did not dissapoint.

Holy shit.

Last show I saw was sometime in the 80's, so... anyway tickets were MAYBE $20 each.. MAYBE...

Spent over $1,000 to see Cream Reunion at The Royal Albert Hall. With the flight tickets, hotel and a few other expenses I reckon it was $2,000. Money well spent.

300 bucks on Golden circle for MJ's sister .... what's her face ... Janet Jackson

I dropped $350 to see Van Morrison perform "Astral Weeks" in its entirety at the Hollywood Bowl last fall. They were front row ticks, and I sat by the fat kid from Superbad.

The pre-Reagan era was the time for concerts :) Grab twenty bucks, spend half on a ticket, half on a giant bag of stems and seeds, and nobody gave a good damn anyway.:thumbsup

I never would have figured that kid for a Van Morrison fan.

My first concert was Three Dog Night with Steppenwolf, Grass Roots and Head Over Heals.

$3.00

I saw Leonard Cohen in '88 for around $20.

$10 , Front Row Seats, Donkey Show, Tijuana Mexico 1989

I was at that show!!! I went for my Birthday thanks to a friend!!! It was awesome!

Most expensive .. $400 and change for Rolling Stones 12 row back in San Diego ... worth every Penny ... as was the $400 bucks a ticket to see Eddie Vedder doing the into the wild soundtrack .. so good!

30 bucks for a blues and boogie festival

You are fotunate.

$200 a piece x 2 for prince at the riviera theater in chicago. I would have paid twice that and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We were going for high prices!!

How about Van Halen's first tour, Phoenix Arizona, July '78, and it was a $3.93 "KDKB 93 FM Special". Celebrity Theater. What a show...

I spent $500 in 1990 for 2 front row seats to Genesis.

In 87' I spent 60.00 for 20th row. It was for Pink Floyd :)

30.00 for and 1/8 of chronic

Watching David Gilmore's Comfortably Numb solo "priceless"

No, just old.

im surprised he didnt steal the joke from you?

Dropped $400 to see Pink Floyd in 94

I just spent over $100 to take my 8 yr old to see wrestling. He loved it and had the best time ever. All I could do was wonder when Hulk Hogan was gonna show up.

$8 to see Staind and Shinedown last weekend at my county fair. That was just to get into the fair, concert was free.

That would have been great to see. I listen to the recorded album from that show quite often, it's very good.

I think the most I've spent is $80 per ticket.

does this count all the money I spent on nitrous balloons in the parking lot before?

$140 for Paul McCartney general admission a couple weeks ago. Worth it though, it was a god damn beatle!

I'll be seeing him again at Fenway Park this week (family hadn't seen him yet) and MGMT is opening for him!

Chr0nic!

Ha, I just dropped $600 for a pair of Leonard tickets at Caesars. And now I'll have to pay another $800 or so for my girlfriend and I to get there. Prior to this the most I paid was $300 for a pair of Sigur Ros tickets.

wow!! i can only imagine how great that show was!!

i saw rodger waters a few years back perform dark side of the moon in its entirety but im sure it doesnt compare to having gilmore and the rest of the band on stage!!!

I just spend 90 bucks on a ticket to the mile high music festival two weeks ago... Tool, Incubus, The Black keys, Galactic.. Altogether it was 270 with flight.

Great show & amazing weather.

about $350/each for Madonna in Rio. VIP mosh pit type of standing room. It was great.

I spent about $800 for hubby and I to see Britney.... 5th row, center... and another 360 that night for the Four Seasons.. but we got upgraded to the governor's suite.. so it was well, well worth it.. for me anyways..

$500 for 8th row center Dave Matthews...

and we paid $390 once to sit 4 rows behind Papa Bush at an Astros Game...

41 euro for the unholy alliance tour, will never gave that much money again. wasen't a slayer fan but did it for the support bands

I useally give out between 2 - 20 euros for concert tickets

me like concerts :drinkup

Most I ever paid was $300 for Van Halen at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1984.

Worth every penny - I was deaf for two solid weeks. :1orglaugh

$700 Britney Spears lol. Would have been fine if I could have gotten drinks, but that was another whole issue. Wifey loved it though haha.

I'd love to see Leonard Cohen but I wouldn't pay that much. He played here recently and tickets never went for anything like that. Theres very few I actually would pay that much to see.

In December I flew from Hawaii to LA to see AC/DC. The tickets were around $500 for two, but flying there, spending a weekend in Beverly Hills, partying, rental car and all that prolly cost me at least another grand. So I'd say around $1500 in the end.

But it was totally worth it. :thumbsup
