One Word: ALOT!

But it's been worth it!

This thread made me think about it and the only answer I can give is "TOO DAMN MUCH!"

I can't count that high LOL.

I will have seen 9 gigs and both my husband and myself will have gone to all of them. My daughter came to 5 of them. Figure $100.00 USD per ticket and just tickets alone were $2300.00 USD. Then there was the concert in Atlantic City when we stayed at the Borgata, and the Philly concert where we stayed overnight also. Add another $600.00 for those 2 nights. I am very lucky to live where I do and not have to fly to any gigs - or even travel very far and even so that is almost $3,000.00

I shouldn't have added it up I guess

Kathleen

This past show = $350 (hotel, driving, and tickets). In Jan. I paid about 450.00. Then in the fall about $150.00. I've also been to 3 other shows from other tours. I've spent mucho dinero! Still, I wouldn't take it back - the shows are so worth it!

it was pretty cheap for me.

i got the ticket gratis.

i maybe spent about 40 quid on the day on beer and food and that was it.

probably a good thing. it's not been unknown for me to blow well over a tonne on gigs im not even that bothered about once youve added up the tickets, beer, transport, clubbing after it etc...

Went to 5 shows in UK, spent 10 days in total there paid for flights, rental car, B&Bs, tickets for me an my friend so yeah spent a fortune but it was worth every penny!!
As was said earlier, tickets bought early and flights and stuff paid for over a period of time so the it was spread out so I'm not going to add it all up, don't want to know..lol!

for 5 shows on 5 tickets 2 flights 1 hotel £585.

food not a hell of a lot, drinks suprisingly not much either about £100 for both

merchandise £110

in total around £700 so not that much really

in 2003 i didnt have a job and went to 5 shows and still managed, the key is dont book a hotel if you dont have too
